Rupal Patel’s high-octane career has taken her from military briefing rooms in jungles and war zones to corporate boardrooms and international stages. During her thrilling career as an analyst and field agent at the CIA, she advised Four-Star Generals, earned War Zone Service Medals, and was recognized by the CIA Director for “superior support to the President of the United States.”
After leaving the CIA, she earned her MBA from London Business School and started her first award-winning business over ten years ago. Called a ‘Power Woman’ by Harper’s Bazaar Magazine and a ‘super-strategist’ by her clients, Rupal is a sought-after international speaker and corporate consultant who has spoken in front of thousands and worked with top-tier organizations around the globe.
Her trailblazing work has been incorporated into the MBA and Executive MBA programs at London Business School, Henley Business School, and the University of Edinburgh Business School, and her commitment to developing the next generation of leaders extends into her pro bono work as an Advisor for Virgin Startup and as Entrepreneur in Residence at London Business School.
She is the author of the international best-seller From CIA to CEO: Unconventional Life Lessons For Thinking Bigger, Leading Better, and Being Bolder (to be translated into Chinese in February 2023 and launching in North America in May 2023). The book offers a powerful new toolkit for living and leading that reveals how the techniques of the CIA can help anyone remake the rules of success and become unstoppable.

Much is made of the gender pay gap, and gender authority gap, but both are exacerbated by
the confidence gap and visibility gap women confront. Learn tangible and transferable skills for building deep confidence and being seen and heard on your terms.
Leaders and organizations must prepare and train for when the mission goes wrong. This session is your “basic training” for battling whatever comes your way.
Eschewing stale “SOPs” and dated “best practices”, this session will show you how to challenge assumptions and question the fundamentals as you make the seemingly impossible possible for yourself and your organization.
Develop an “enlightened swagger” as you learn how to follow the leads, experiment intentionally, and unlock the excellence within yourself, your teams, and your organization.
Communication is an art and a science: the art comes from honing your style and the science comes from leveraging psychology and human nature. Learn how to uncover your personal “art”, learn the universal science, and communicate powerfully with anyone, anywhere, about anything.
To be taken seriously, you need to show up powerfully and master the mental chatter that keeps you scared and small. Learn how to use Situational Awareness to your advantage and “go grey” intentionally so that no one can dismiss you or your message.
Too often leaders wait for an elusive “then” in the future when they will finally let themselves focus on what they care about but there doesn’t need to be a tradeoff between career success and personal fulfillment. In this highly-sought after workshop, you will learn how to build a legacy you are proud of daily in every aspect of life. Forget stale notions of “work life balance” and learn how to create harmony between all of the tangible and intangible elements of life that you care about.
