The best leadership conversations don’t just inform. They create an experience — one that helps leaders become more of who they already are.
Andrea Butcher has spent twenty years facilitating rooms where leaders tell the truth — about what’s hard, what’s not working, and what they’re afraid to say out loud. She brings that same depth to every stage.
What leaders are saying…
Attendee feedback, March 2026 keynote: Stop Doing: A Facilitated Reset for Overloaded HR Leaders
“Andrea is such an authentic leader and speaker. Left feeling empowered.”
“I feel seen, valued, and heard. Truly eye opening.”
“She felt so relatable and made a quick connection with the room. The content was perfect.”
“Loved hearing tools to help lighten my load. Very practical tips that I can teach my team.”
“Perfectly interactive — just enough of pushing us out of our comfort zone into our stretch zone.”
Speaker
Every audience carries something different into the room. These topics are the conversations Andrea comes back to most — because they meet leaders where they actually are and help them move forward. Each one is a proven starting point, and is then shaped around your people, their needs, and what you want them to walk away with.
The Power in the Pivot: Moving from Chaos to Clarity
Leadership is one pivot after another. Drawing from fifty executive conversations and twenty years of coaching, Andrea gives leaders a clear, human framework for navigating transition — what makes the difference, what gets in the way, and how to move through it with clarity instead of chaos.
Stop Doing: A Facilitated Reset for Overloaded Leaders
You can’t keep adding without something breaking. This session is a structured reset — a framework for identifying what’s yours to own, what isn’t, and what to put down so there’s room for what actually matters. This keynote is practical, personal, and immediately actionable.
Leading Through Imposter Syndrome
Up to 82% of leaders experience it, but most never talk about it. Andrea addresses this real, pervasive challenge head-on — what’s underneath the doubt, why it shows up most in high achievers, and how to lead with confidence even when certainty isn’t there yet.
Rethinking Leadership Development to Meet the Needs of Today’s Leaders
60% of new people leaders fail in their first two years. That’s not a people problem — it’s a preparation problem. Andrea makes the case for a fundamentally different approach: one that starts on the inside and builds outward, and that actually gets the results organizations need.

Change isn’t something that happens to you. It’s something you move through — and how you move through it determines everything. The Power in the Pivot draws from fifty executive conversations on the Being [at Work] podcast and two decades of coaching to give leaders a clear, human framework for navigating transition. Written for the leader who is in the middle of something hard, or knows they’re about to be.
