Speaking That Challenges The Way We Think About Leadership
Tao Kroesche is an international speaker, facilitator, feminist author and artist, and founder of The She Rebellion.
Her talks challenge outdated narratives around leadership, confidence, emotional intelligence, identity, and expression, offering a more connected, courageous, and human-centred approach to leadership for women and girls.
Blending storytelling, lived experience, research-informed insight, creativity, and practical reflection, Tao delivers talks that are engaging, thought-provoking, emotionally intelligent, and deeply relatable.
Her speaking style is grounded and conversational while still holding depth, challenge, and impact.
A NEW WAVE OF LEADERSHIP
Tao’s work sits at the forefront of a growing shift in leadership culture.
One that moves away from dominance, perfectionism, and performative success, and towards leadership grounded in emotional intelligence, creativity, communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and authenticity.
This is leadership that values humanity alongside achievement.
Leadership that understands the importance of voice, expression, and connection in shaping stronger communities, workplaces, and future generations.
