Keynote Speaker

Maika Leibbrandt
Live Like a Multiplier
Topic:
What if your impact didn’t come from doing more—but from multiplying what’s already strong? In this energizing keynote, Maika Leibbrandt brings back her signature Live Like a Multiplier message for the Emerge Women’s Summit—grounded in a clear, practical take on an abundance mindset. Together, you’ll explore three powerful shifts:
-
There is enough good work to be done—and enough good people to do it
-
Your best is still ahead of you, and the clues live in your successes, not your shortcomings
-
Sharing what you know and who you are isn’t extra—it’s table stakes
Key Takeaways:
From there, Maika makes strengths feel real and usable through an informal, highly relatable lens. Using the five clues to talent—yearnings, rapid learning, flow, glimpses of excellence, and deep satisfaction—you’ll start to recognize what you naturally do best and how to aim it with intention.
You’ll leave with a clearer sense of your edge, a more generous way of showing up, and a simple but powerful truth:
When you invest what’s strong in you, it multiplies for everyone around you.
