“When planning a conference, one of the most (if not the most) important decision that a conference planner makes is the opening keynote speaker. This sets the tone for the entire event. I had the privilege and responsibility of selecting the keynotes for our first in-person Vermont State Human Resources conference in three years. I came across Rachel Druckenmiller in my LinkedIn feed discussing becoming ‘unmuted', an expression I hadn't heard of. I was immediately taken with Rachel's passion and experience in becoming unmuted and finding our own unique voice. And speaking of voice, I also heard Rachel sing, and she can really sing! Rachel was our opening keynote speaker and she was absolutely everything we wanted and more. I have never had a keynote speaker so engaged with an audience – people were with her one hundred percent. It was amazing – and it got better!! Rachel also spent the entire time with us and all our attendees. She joined us the night before the conference and stayed to the very end, making herself available to everyone. She brought such joy, positivity, and optimism at a time when we are all looking for beacons of hope. If you are planning an event and need someone to lift your group up, look no further than Rachel Druckenmiller – you will thank yourself for it!! (I know, I did!!)”

Customer Reviews

Ross Gibson Executive Director at SHRM Vermont

“As the Executive Director of the Women in Motion, I had the privilege of inviting keynote speaker Rachel Druckenmiller to deliver a truly inspiring day-long presentation on the topic of "Unmuted: Unlocking Your Confidence, Courage, Clarity, and Career" for our 2023 Women's Summit. Rachel's humility, passion, and enthusiasm for the subject matter were evident throughout her presentation, and she had an incredible ability to connect with the audience on a deep, personal level. Rachel's presentation was nothing short of transformational. She shared real-world experiences and insights that resonated deeply with attendees, and she challenged us to think differently about our own lives and careers. Her unique ability to distill complex concepts into simple, actionable steps made her message accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Rachel Druckenmiller as a keynote speaker for any event or organization. Her expertise, energy, and charisma make her a true asset to any program, and I have no doubt that she will continue to empower and inspire audiences for years to come. If you're looking for a speaker who can help your audience unlock their full potential and unleash their inner confidence and courage, look no further than Rachel Druckenmiller.”

Pam Baldwin Director at Women in Motion of High Point

“Rachel was selected as the opening keynote speaker at our annual Vermont HR Conference. I could not have wished for a better opening keynote. Rachel brought enormous positive energy to the audience that seemed to carry them through the rest of the two-day conference. Every minute of her keynote and panel discussion was a true golden nugget of wisdom and inspiration. It is rare that I see an audience so captivated. The standing ovation she received confirmed their admiration for Rachel. I'm not alone when I say I can't wait to welcome her back!”

Mara Neufeld Rivera Head of People & Culture at Chroma Technology Corp.

I first met Rachel through a Women Lead Change event that I participated in based on a strong recommendation from a colleague who had seen Rachel in action. Rachel immediately captivated me, and we set out on a partnership to build power skills with business impact and to elevate the connectedness of our leaders and team members. Rachel shines in a virtual setting and makes it look effortless, which allowed us to efficiently reach all of our team members across the country. She's a master of engagement in any experience she leads and keeps the audience intrigued and involved throughout. She's a true partner devoted to getting to know us so she could deliver a meaningful experience, and is a delight to work with. I'm continually inspired by her thoughtful posts and appreciate her focus on relationships and connection. To sum up, I'm grateful to have Rachel in my life - way beyond what started out as meeting a business need.

Kristin Tague Sr. Talent Development Partner at American Equity

“Rachel recently presented a two-hour workshop at the ACN Leadership Academy in February and received rave reviews by the attendees. She easily connected with the audience because she is engaging, energetic and brought a great perspective. You could see that she did her research and really tailored her workshop. An attendee commented, 'RACHEL WAS AMAZING! It did not know what to expect, but she wasn't the typical speaker that gave regular advice. She was captivating, engaging and really brought a lot to the table. She would make an amazing speaker for future events'. I have already booked Rachel for future events because she is so good.”

Julie Ferry Portfolio Director, Event Services at Smithbucklin

“I had the pleasure of securing Rachel as the keynote speaker for our women's empowerment conference, S.H.E. Week, and the impact she made was truly exceptional. Rachel possesses a rare ability to energize and connect with a diverse audience, fostering an atmosphere where every individual felt personally addressed. Her unique blend of humor, storytelling, and genuine passion captivated everyone present, leaving an indelible mark on the entire event. From planning to execution and post-event follow-up, Rachel exhibited the utmost professionalism. The overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from attendees highlighted the profound impact of her session. What stood out most was the interactive nature of Rachel's presentation; she skillfully posed thought-provoking questions, encouraging attendees to reflect on the applicability of the content to their specific situations. Rachel's commitment to tailoring her speech for our community was evident well in advance of the event. Her engagement with the Frederick County audience showcased her dedication to creating a customized and valuable experience. Through a combination of storytelling, humor, and her unique brilliance, Rachel delivered not just a presentation but a captivating 'show' that resonated deeply and is still talked about in our community months later. (Boy did she set the bar high for our next event!) I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel as a speaker for any event!”

Jennifer Gerlock Executive Director, Leadership Frederick County

“Rachel is a dynamic and inspiring speaker who has a rare ability to create connection and spark meaningful reflection. Rather than standing on the stage, she stood right in front of us—fully present, fully engaged—making the room feel like a conversation rather than a presentation. She didn’t just speak to us; she connected with us. What makes Rachel truly exceptional is that her impact isn’t limited to the front of the room. I had the chance to sit with her at my discussion table, and she was just as powerful in listening and encouraging as she was in leading the session. It’s rare to find a speaker who excels at both. Her warmth, authenticity, and ability to ask thought-provoking questions stayed with me long after the session ended, sparking deep and meaningful conversations with close friends and a renewed sense of purpose. Rachel has a gift for drawing out the best in people, challenging them to see themselves in a new light, and inspiring action long after the event is over. If you’re looking for a speaker who doesn’t just deliver a message but creates an experience—one that lingers, inspires, and empowers—Rachel is the one.”

Nicole Smith Communications Manager, Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning

“We were honored to have Rachel Druckenmiller as a speaker at our 2025 Women’s Summit, and she absolutely captivated the audience. She kicked off our event and set the tone for excellence. Her message was powerful, her delivery was engaging, and she created an atmosphere that was both inspiring and empowering. Her ability to connect with the audience on a deep, personal level made her session truly unforgettable. She brought wisdom, authenticity, and a sense of community that resonated with everyone in the room. The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive—they left feeling motivated and ready to take action. If you’re looking for a speaker who can inspire, uplift, and leave a lasting impact, I highly recommend Rachel.”

Hester Ndoja President & CEO, Florida Society of Association Executives

“The National Association for Health Care Recruitment's (NAHCR) annual meeting just wrapped up and we had the most engaging, insightful, impactful opening keynote speaker, Rachel Druckenmiller! Rachel's presentation was timely, relevant and meaningful for NAHCRs attendees, all of whom are talent acquisition professionals in the health care industry. The last two and a half years have brought many challenges. Rachel's message to "unmute" yourself and ask for help, listen to your inner wisdom, practice self-care, be the best version of yourself, and appreciate your accomplishments were just some of the valuable takeaways. Rachel included opportunities to share, be heard and be vulnerable. This was a perfect way to kick off the conference and empower attendees to get the most out of the other sessions. Rachel was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process - she was a true partner!”

Dawn McKnight Executive Director at Kautter Wenhold Management Group

“My company hired Rachel as the keynote speaker for our annual user conference and she brought so much value to our attendees' experience. Rachel did more pre-work than any keynote that we have hired in the past and really made sure she understood the topics and information we wanted to get across to our attendees. Rachel's presentation was so powerful that it had a positive impact on our attendees' lives! We actually had reviews from our attendees giving examples of how they've put Rachel's teachings into practice in their day-to-day lives and the positive improvements that have come from it. Our biggest goal from keynote presentations is not only that attendees feel inspired but that they can walk away with actionable items that they can implement in their work or personal lives and she absolutely nailed it. One of the most impressive parts of Rachel's presentation was her ability to handle a hybrid crowd. We had 300 people in-person and close to 1,000 virtual attendees. She managed to create just as good of an experience for the virtual attendees as the in-person attendees which is incredibly difficult to pull off. Rachel did such a fabulous job with this that the event center A/V crew commented on how impressed they were with her inclusion of the virtual attendees (and they see a lot of keynote presentations!). I cannot recommend Rachel enough to elevate your event experience. She really sets the bar for keynote speakers. 5-stars!”

Kelsey DeBruin Global Head of User Community & Events at Configura

“As a meeting planner, I have three criteria for what I consider an A+ keynote speaker: - Do they provide valuable insight and information that is new to my audience - Are they compelling on stage? Will they keep an audience's attention? - Will they work well with my planning team? Rachel hit all three of these out of the park! She engaged the audience with storytelling, humor, and her special brand of brilliance to put on a great 'show' from the stage. However, what really set Rachel's talk apart was how she invited the participants into their own moments of reflection. She guided several hundred people through her framework, all while maintaining a personal connection and sense of intimacy that brought out authenticity, and even moved some attendees to tears. Finally, Rachel and her assistant were an absolute dream to work with. They were thorough, thoughtful, and clear in all of the communications leading up to and through our event. I wish all speakers were this attentive! My staff was thrilled with their professionalism. I would hire Rachel one thousand times over, and highly recommend her to any organization!”

Katie Jones Conference Director at Strategic HR / MaineHR

“Rachel is relatable, personable and energetic. Our Trade Association hired Rachel to be our keynote speaker for our annual kickoff meeting in January 2023. This annual meeting was being totally reinvented by the Association and sought to find a speaker who could connect with the audience, all from various backgrounds within our industry. During the discovery meeting with Rachel, she made notes of our vision, purpose and goal and created a concept that not only included the very obstacles our industry faces but was able to incorporate members of our industry making the topic relatable to all attending. Her keynote eliminated the "rah! rah!" vibe often projected in kickoff meetings and she spoke with purpose and conviction. She paused for crowd participation and feedback throughout which kept the audience engaged for the entire presentation. To say that not a single person picked up their cell phones throughout is an understatement! Her command of the audience is world-class. Excellent work! Will definitely look to work with her again.”

Kandis Dwyer Director of Membership, Sales & Engagement at Property Management Association

“When it was time to look for a keynote speaker for our leadership summit, it was a no-brainer to reach out to Rachel. From the moment Rachel responded to my request, I knew we were in for something special. She is not a keynote speaker who phones in a canned presentation. She takes the time to get to know your audience, your goals, and your vibe. She worked within our team before the presentation, asking probing questions and taking the time to connect with each of us. That ‘special sauce’ continued at the event, when Rachel attended our welcome reception and all the ancillary events we held. She spoke with our attendees, connecting on a deep and personal level with them. When she was on stage, it was magic. She was able to take a group of confident business owners and get them to open up, to share their vulnerable thoughts and feelings in a safe way. She does not shy from her own emotions, and that made it okay for the audience to do the same. Rachel was a professional in every sense of the word - from her preparation to her execution to her follow up. Rachel is a beam of light, and I feel fortunate that she is now in my orbit.”

Mary Ellen Murrah Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer, Vista Consulting

"I can’t speak highly enough of Rachel and how amazing it’s been to work with her. She brings an abundance of energy and a fresh perspective to team building, team education about self care, resilience, managing change, etc. She is received extremely well by others because of her authentic and open nature and creates an environment that fosters meaningful connection in a way that isn’t cheesy or forced but comfortable and inviting."

VP of Marketing at Adventist Health

"Rachel is by far one of the most inspiring speakers I have ever heard. The entire audience was so engaged and listening to every word. It was amazing the energy that Rachel brought to the room. Not only energy, but the connection she brought was incredible. I have never seen a large group of individuals come together in such a way. Her presentation was the spark I needed to make a significant change in my life. If you are looking for motivation, inspiration, or a catalyst to bring in change, Rachel is your go to speaker. I pick a lot of speakers for my work, and Rachel is one of the absolute best."

Maryland SHRM State Council

"Rachel wrapped up our summit with an inspirational session focused on building resilience. Not only was she engaging to listen to through her dynamic narrative and storytelling, but the style of her session drove attendees to participate in the chat and through the Mentimeter tool. Her session was the top rated session in the event agenda and Rachel was a pleasure to work with. She was professional, energetic, responsive, flexible, and did a great job connecting her message back to the broader event message."

Global Head of User Community & Events at Configura

"Rachel provided our conference attendees with an exceptional keynote experience. She was engaging, thought-provoking, and personable. And not only was Rachel worth the investment for the keynote, but she added value every step of the way by offering a pre-conference session, capturing valuable data, and spending time with us afterwards to debrief and process the experience. I give Rachel my highest recommendation!"

Keynotes

Keynote by Rachel Druckenmiller:

UNMUTED: Unleash Clarity, Confidence & Contribution to Amplify Your Impact

Your most valuable contribution isn't what you've already given. It's what you've been too afraid to do.

Disengagement is at an all-time high. Burnout is widespread. And even your highest-potential people are showing up as a fraction of who they're capable of being — sitting on ideas they don't share, strengths they don't see, and opportunities they keep talking themselves out of. The culprits aren't laziness or apathy. They're fear, self-doubt, and perfectionism. And they're quietly costing your organization more than you realize.

Using her signature VOICE Method, Rachel helps people move from self-doubt to self-trust and from hesitation to contribution. Audiences leave with a clear picture of what's been holding them back, a grounded sense of their own strengths, and the conviction to stop waiting for permission and start owning their impact. Because research shows the regrets that haunt us most aren't the chances we took; they're the ones we didn't. And the most expensive silence in your workplace isn't conflict. It's the ideas, perspectives, and contributions that never make it into the room.

EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE WILL:

Pinpoint the specific fear, self-doubt, or perfectionism that's been quietly costing them
Discover why the most capable people are often the most blind to their own brilliance and what to do about it
Learn why borrowed belief might be the most underrated tool for building lasting confidence
Walk away with a strategy to flip their biggest hesitation into their next bold move
Leave with the clarity and conviction to stop waiting for permission and start owning their impact

Keynote by Rachel Druckenmiller:

FROM BLINDSIDE TO BREAKTHROUGH: Leading Through Life's "Didn't See It Coming" Moments

Even the strongest leaders get blindsided. What separates the ones who break down from the ones who break through is what they do next.

Change is relentless — and even your best leaders can find themselves stuck in reactive mode, disconnected from their people, and running on empty. The signs show up quietly at first: team members who feel invisible, conversations that stay surface-level, a culture where people are present but not really there. What leaders need in those moments isn't more information. It's a different way of showing up.

Research from Gallup shows that what people need most from leaders in times of change and uncertainty comes down to four qualities — and most leaders are only delivering two of them. The leaders who provide all four don't just survive disruption. They become the ones whose names people remember for the rest of their careers.

Born from her own experience of being blindsided by burnout and a pickup truck, Rachel equips leaders with the mindset shifts and practical tools to navigate change without losing themselves or their people in the process. Because how you lead others always begins with how you lead yourself.

EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE WILL:

Learn what Gallup research says people need most from leaders in times of change and uncertainty
Discover the leadership combination that predicts effectiveness more than any other factor and how to develop it
Walk away with a clear answer to the question that determines whether your people stay engaged or check out
Leave knowing exactly what it takes to become the leader whose name people remember long after they've moved on

Keynote by Rachel Druckenmiller:

THE SOMEBODY EFFECT: How Leaders Build Cultures Where People Come Alive at Work

The leaders people never forget aren't the most impressive ones. They're the ones who made everybody feel like a Somebody.

Your most disengaged employees aren't checked out because they stopped caring. They're checked out because they stopped feeling like anyone else does.

They're the people who show up every day doing work that goes unnoticed, sitting in meetings where no one asks their opinion, wondering if the person who manages them even knows their name. Research shows that only one in three employees feel like their work matters, which means two thirds of your people are quietly drifting, waiting for someone to see them.

In this energizing and deeply human keynote, Rachel helps people leaders move from managing roles to seeing the humans behind them. Because the difference between a team that performs and one that merely functions often comes down to one thing: whether the people on it feel like somebodies or nobodies. And that is entirely within a leader's control.

Because when leaders see the soul behind the role, they don't just drive results. They become the reason someone stays, grows, and brings their absolute best.

EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE WILL:

Discover the five things every person on their team needs to be engaged and feel like they matter at work
Walk away with a simple but not easy weekly practice for having the conversations that make people feel known, seen, included, and steady
Understand why believing in the people you lead isn't a "nice to have" — it's the foundational choice that makes everything else possible
Leave knowing how to become the reason someone on their team stays, grows, and brings their absolute best

Keynote by Rachel Druckenmiller:

THE POWER OF BORROWED BELIEF: How Great Leaders Grow Themselves and Others

You didn't get here alone. And neither will the people you lead.

Think about the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself. The one who told you a hard truth when you needed to hear it. Who held up a mirror and showed you what they saw. Who said “keep going” when you wanted to quit. Who pointed you toward the path when you couldn't see it yourself.

Every leader carries the fingerprints of people who showed up for them in exactly the right way at exactly the right moment, people whose belief became the bridge between who they were and who they were capable of becoming. But here's what most leaders don't realize: someone in their world right now is waiting for them to be that person.

In this thought-provoking and deeply personal keynote, Rachel introduces four evidence-based leadership archetypes and the specific ways each one shapes identity, unlocks potential, and leaves a lasting impact on the people they lead. Because the most powerful thing a leader can offer isn't a strategy or a framework. It's the belief that someone can do something before they're sure they can.

When leaders learn to borrow belief and to offer it, they don't just grow themselves. They change the trajectory of someone else's life.

EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE WILL:

Reflect on the people who believed in them before they believed in themselves and the specific ways that belief changed their trajectory
Discover four evidence-based leadership archetypes and honestly assess which ones they naturally embody and which ones their people need most from them right now
Identify someone in their life who needs them to show up as one of these four archetypes and leave with a clear intention for how to do it
Walk away understanding that the most powerful thing they can offer another person isn't advice or strategy; it's belief
