Unni Turrettini is known for guiding leaders out of chronic stress and into a more connected, grounded, and effective way of leading. As a speaker and bestselling author, she brings a rare combination of sharp analytical thinking and deep human insight to every stage she steps onto. Her work centers on one essential truth: in a world shaped by accelerating technology and rising demands, connection is the ultimate competitive edge.
With experience as a New York attorney specializing in corporate law and finance, Unni understands high-performance environments from the inside. She has navigated complex decisions, high stakes, and constant pressure. That lived experience gives her credibility with executives and leadership teams who are used to operating at full speed.
Today, Unni translates neuroscience and emotional mastery into practical strategies leaders can use immediately. She shows how chronic stress narrows perception, drains energy, and weakens relationships and how intentional self-connection restores clarity, creativity, and confident decision-making.
Many leaders operate in survival mode without realizing it. Deadlines, digital overload, and constant demands create a state of hyper-vigilance that feels productive but slowly erodes performance. Unni’s keynotes and workshops reveal how this pattern impacts the brain, the nervous system, and team dynamics.
Through compelling stories, research-based insights, and direct tools, she helps audiences:
Recognize the hidden cost of chronic stress on leadership and culture
Strengthen emotional regulation and intuitive decision-making
Build trust and cohesion within teams
Elevate energy to sustain high-impact performance
Her approach is both science-based and deeply human. Leaders leave with practical methods to shift from reactive to responsive, from fragmented to focused, and from isolated to connected.
In her upcoming book, SOULWARE: The High Achiever’s Guide to Divine Connection in the Age of AI (publishing spring 2026), Unni explores the intersection of leadership, self-connection, and emerging technology. As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into business and daily life, many leaders face a silent question: How do we evolve with technology without disconnecting from ourselves?
Unni addresses this head-on. She reframes AI as a powerful tool that can enhance human potential, if leaders stay rooted in emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and values. SOULWARE challenges high achievers to redefine success in a way that integrates performance and purpose.
Her message resonates strongly with forward-thinking organizations across Europe and the US that want to embrace innovation while strengthening human connection.
Unni Turrettini has spoken on international stages, including the EACD Summit in Brussels, where she shared her perspective on leadership, stress, and transformation in a rapidly evolving world. She advises executives and teams across Europe and the United States, helping them move from fragmentation to cohesion.
Her presentations are known for their clarity, depth, and ability to shift perspective in real time. Audiences experience both intellectual stimulation and personal reflection. Executives gain tools they can implement immediately. Teams gain a shared language around stress, connection, and performance.
When you book Unni Turrettini for your event, you invite your audience to rethink how they lead, perform, and relate in the age of AI. Her keynotes are ideal for leadership conferences, executive retreats, innovation summits, and organizations navigating transformation.
Unni speaks to high achievers who want more than external success. She challenges them to align ambition with awareness and technology with humanity. The result is stronger leadership, clearer decision-making, and cultures built on trust and cohesion.
