BUILD COMMUNITY. TRANSFORM YOUR CULTURE.
Liberating keynotes, facilitation, and consultation to elevate your impact as a values-driven leader, guiding you to live authentically and embrace the power of people over profit to transform your culture.
OUR COURAGOUS CLIENTS
The majority of people don’t feel valued or (em)powered by their organizations, leading to disconnection and disengagement because their innate need to belong is not a priority.
It’s time to reject the false narrative that their worth is tied to how much they do and build a new culture rooted in dignity and belonging.
Courageous and compassionate leadership means honoring the humanity of its people. But first, you have to honor your own humanity.
“You may have received the message that doing a lot means you are worth a lot. In this way, productivity becomes a measure of a person’s value... “…to come home to yourself is to reject the pressure of self-erasure and perpetual busyness. You can tell yourself the truth: busyness has not brought healing or relief, only distraction and superficial accolades.”
—Dr. Thema Bryant
This means doing your own work to understand how you embody your role as a leader and engage with others, so you can develop the tools to be a more integrated, well-rounded human being who recognizes that shared power builds autonomy and a thriving culture. Living a more integrated life means doing the necessary and intentional work to create a culture that affirms everyone’s dignity, simply because they are human beings.
In this kind of culture, personal value supersedes productivity, allowing people to feel connected and valued to show up as the best version of themselves. This culture breeds trust—not division. In this space, teams effectively collaborate to solve pressing issues because they have the psychological safety needed to create innovative and sustainable solutions to make meaningful change.
Leading in this way requires you to unlearn the harmful ways you have been taught you had to show up as a leader. It requires courage and a commitment to live a more values-driven, strengths-based life that recognizes that meeting everyone’s universal basic needs is a human right. We all deserve to live in a world that centers humanity over the bottom line.
Won’t you help us cultivate this world?
“The most important thing I learned in this course is the importance of sharing our voices and thoughts. You are one of the best active listeners I have ever been able to observe.”
—Educator and Learning Cohort Participant
SIGNATURE KEYNOTES
SIGNATURE KEYNOTES
Every person, every workplace, every system runs on story. But not all stories serve us. Some are inherited. Some are imposed. This keynote invites audiences to interrupt what’s been passed down, reclaim what’s true, and rewrite what’s possible—individually and collectively.
Reclaiming Our Narratives, Rewriting What’s Possible
The Power of the Story
-
In this keynote, Dr. Amber Sessoms invites audiences into a deeper truth: the stories we carry shape how we see ourselves and how others see us. Whether those stories are personal, cultural, or systemic, they can either confine us or call us forward.
Through the lens of her 3D Power Tools Framework, Amber explores how dominant narratives influence belonging, exclusion, and leadership—and how we can disrupt those narratives through compassionate curiosity, storytelling, and truth-telling.
This keynote is both reflective and catalytic: a call to honor lived experience as data, and to use story as a strategy for healing, connection, and collective liberation.
Perfect For: DEI Facilitators • Employee Resource Groups • Youth Organizations • Healing Professionals • Community-Based Events • Artists & Creatives
Attendees will experience an immediately applicable shift in their ability to:
Understand how dominant and internalized narratives shape dignity and identity
Practice narrative disruption through reflective storytelling and compassionate listening
Use storytelling to spark culture change, deepen belonging, and challenge systems of erasure
Reclaim story as both a healing tool and a strategy for systemic transformation
Adrift to Aligned
A Journey Back to Your Whole Self
Sometimes, the real work isn’t about doing more—it’s about noticing how far you’ve drifted from yourself. This keynote is an invitation to return. Through story, stillness, and somatic wisdom, participants begin the journey from burnout to alignment and from surviving to remembering.
-
In this grounding keynote, Dr. Amber Sessoms creates space for honest reflection and deep return. In a world that rewards productivity over presence, many of us find ourselves disconnected from the very things that make us whole: our values, our voice, our body’s wisdom.
Drawing on her 3D Power Tools Framework, Amber guides participants through a liberatory journey of somatic storytelling, breathwork, and narrative reclamation. She invites us to ask: What have I internalized that no longer serves me? What does it look like to realign with what is true?
Whether you're a leader, healer, educator, or simply human—this session is a sacred reentry point to yourself.

When trust is broken and belonging is frayed, most organizations rush to fix. But real repair doesn’t happen in a policy update—it begins with the courage to name what’s been harmed. This keynote meets leaders in that tender space between what was and what’s possible.
How Brave Organizations Rebuild from Within
From Rupture to Renewal
-
In this keynote designed for courageous organizations, Dr. Amber Sessoms introduces a powerful reframe: what if our greatest culture challenges are not problems to fix, but wounds to tend?
Using her 3D Power Tools Framework, Amber guides executive leaders, DEI teams, and facilitators through a shared language and process for cultural healing. This talk is not about optics or checklists—it’s about brave repair, honest listening, and the practices that rebuild trust from the inside out.
Whether following a rupture or navigating a major culture shift, this keynote lays the groundwork for sustained transformation—not by bypassing discomfort, but by moving through it together.
Perfect For: Executive Leaders • DEI & Equity-Centered Facilitators • HR & OD Professionals • Cultural Transformation Initiatives
Attendees will experience an immediately applicable shift in their ability to:
Reframe employee and/or client “complaints” as crucial data for belonging and repair
Identify the hidden narratives that shape disconnection and distrust
Recognize how harm becomes patterned and how repair must become cultural
Build a shared roadmap for realigning purpose, policy, and people
Liberated Leadership
The Courage to Live and Lead Authentically
Too many women have been praised for leading well, while quietly losing themselves in the process. We’ve been taught to perform, to overfunction, to disappear behind the title. But real leadership doesn’t require your self-abandonment. It requires your alignment. This keynote is a return to that truth.
-
In this powerful keynote, Dr. Amber Sessoms invites women leaders to return to a leadership practice rooted in clarity, courage, and joy. Drawing from her 3D Power Tools Framework, Amber challenges leadership norms built on burnout, performance, and disconnection—and offers a liberatory alternative grounded in values, embodiment, and truth.
Through body-centered practices, liberatory storytelling, and collective reflection, participants are guided to reconnect with what matters most and lead in ways that are sustainable, aligned, and deeply human.
This keynote is a call to lead without shrinking—and to build cultures where authenticity is not punished, but practiced.

Practice body-centered tools that restore clarity, ease, and alignment
Set values-aligned boundaries that support sustainable leadership
This keynote isn’t just a talk—it’s a live podcast episode of Living in 3D Power, co-hosted by Dr. Amber Sessoms and her 11-year-old daughter, Emma. Together, they invite the audience into an unscripted, intergenerational conversation about identity, legacy, joy, and liberation. With the honesty only a child can offer and the reflection only a mother can hold, this keynote models what it means to lead, question, and imagine across generations with humor, humility, and heart.
A Mother-Daughter Conversation on Power, Joy & Possibility
Living in 3D Power
-
In this heartfelt and often humorous keynote, Dr. Amber Sessoms and her 11-year-old daughter, Emma, invite audiences into a live intergenerational conversation that models what leadership looks like when rooted in curiosity, truth-telling, and radical joy.
Through shared storytelling, reflection, and real-time dialogue, Amber and Emma explore how legacy, love, and imagination shape the way we lead, dream, and relate to one another across generations.
