Keynote Speaker - Princess Castleberry

The Truth Is in the Trigger™: Disrupt the Leadership Capacity Crisis

Join Princess for a dynamic discussion on capacity. Today’s leaders are in an active capacity crisis —stretched too thin by the pressures of aligning hybrid workforces, reconciling conflict, integrating AI, modeling inclusivity, and managing their own physical and mental health. World-class organizations and the rate of change aren’t slowing down. The leadership capacity crisis isn’t just a challenge for leaders—it’s the defining risk of our time.

Our triggers and how we respond to them are what shape leaders’ decision-making and success. Triggers are the hidden side of change, growth, and resilience.

In this transformative keynote, Global Speaker and Leadership Strategist Princess Castleberry delivers a bold, practical blueprint for leaders who want to thrive amid relentless change. Drawing from two decades in enterprise risk, she introduces her signature framework—Live, Lead, and Build Leverage™ to reveal how triggers shape performance, decision-making, and well-being.

Through real-world insights and interactive storytelling, Princess challenges leaders to stop chasing symptoms and start decoding the triggers driving stress, burnout, conflict, and disengagement. When leaders master their triggers, they don’t just react under pressure.

ThinkForward Talk #2 - The Data We Don’t Capture: What the Next Generation Needs from Healthcare Leadership

Presenter: Sanjana Vadrevu, Director of Public Relations, TEDxMSU; Michigan State University - Bachelor's of Science in Human Biology, Minors in Bioethics and Plant, Animal, and Microbial Biotechnology
 

As an early-career professional moving between inpatient rehabilitation, osteopathic medicine, chronic disease research, and life sciences strategy, I have learned that some of the most important “data points” in healthcare: fear, burnout, moral distress, curiosity, trust, never make it into our dashboards. In this ThinkForward Talk, I will share what my generation is quietly experiencing as we enter a field already shaped by a leadership capacity crisis: where innovation is expected, yet the human capacity to sustain it is thinning. I will explore how tomorrow’s leaders can pair hard analytics with intentional listening to build workplaces where emerging professionals do not just contribute, but we stay, grow, and lead.
