Book IWD Speaker: Simone E. Morris

Lead with Authenticity, Give to Gain: Transform Your Workplace Culture This International Women's Day 2026

Simone E. Morris transforms workplace culture through authentic leadership—and she has the client results to prove it.

An ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with 800+ coaching hours and founder of the annual Inclusive Leadership Impact Awards, Simone empowers leaders to navigate today's complex workplace landscape with practical strategies that drive both belonging and business outcomes.

What Makes Simone Different:
With 23 years of Fortune 500 corporate experience spanning IT, commercial strategy, and HR, Simone translates inclusive leadership into business outcomes. She's partnered with Pact MD (a division of Hartford Healthcare), Aspen Institute, and Connecticut Community Care on culture transformation, while delivering high-impact keynotes and/or fireside chats for Becton Dickinson, Heineken, Accenture, and Stryker on leadership, career strategy, and workplace culture.

Her Signature IWD 2026 Approach:
Simone's "Give to Gain" philosophy shows leaders how service-based leadership accelerates career growth while building high-performance cultures. Her keynotes—covering authentic leadership, strategic career ownership, and inclusive culture during uncertainty—provide immediately actionable frameworks participants can implement the next day.

As author of four books (three on career advancement), host of the 15-season podcast "The Power of Owning Your Career," and 2025 honoree on the "100 Women to Know" list, Simone brings thought leadership depth without the corporate jargon.

Why Event Managers Choose Simone:
Becton Dickinson's 1,500 attendees stayed fully engaged for 90 minutes with chat "blowing up" with questions. Heineken called her session "the best we've ever had." Werner Co.'s CHRO praised her "poise and flow," saying the workshop was "10 times more impactful than expected."

Simone is collaborative, thoughtful, and customizes every presentation to align with your event goals—whether you need a 30-minute lightning talk, full keynote, or interactive fireside chat.
Perfect for IWD 2026's Balance the Scales theme, Simone shows how authentic inclusion creates workplaces where everyone contributes their best. When leaders invest in psychological safety and belonging, they gain innovation, retention, and performance.
