$84B Global Organization with an enterprise workforce across regions and functions and a broad audience spanning individual contributors, people leaders, and senior stakeholders
To mark International Women’s Day, a global organization invited Tania DeSa to deliver a keynote designed to resonate well beyond a single moment. The objective was to create an experience that inspired employees while equipping them with practical tools to lead with confidence, trust, and intention in their day-to-day work.
International Women’s Day events can sometimes feel symbolic rather than impactful. This organization wanted a keynote that:
- Spoke meaningfully to women and peers across the organization
- Addressed bias, visibility, and leadership without alienating or polarizing the audience
- Reframe responsibility as shared ownership, not a one-group issue
- Left participants with clear, immediately applicable actions
The keynote needed to strike a careful balance: energizing and inspiring, while still grounded in real workplace realities.
Tania delivered a high-energy, research-backed keynote designed to balance inspiration with substance. The session integrated:
- Data and insights that contextualized women’s leadership and workplace dynamics
- Practical frameworks for owning value, building trust, and advocating with clarity
- Storytelling grounded in real-world corporate experience
- Interactive moments that encouraged reflection and shared responsibility
The keynote was intentionally designed to feel human, inclusive, and actionable, creating momentum rather than a one-day conversation.
Following the session:
- Participants reported feeling energized and more confident in taking ownership of their voice and impact
- Many highlighted the practical takeaways they could immediately apply in their roles
- Internal partners noted strong engagement and positive sentiment throughout the event
Across International Women’s Day and leadership keynotes delivered by Tania for global and North American organizations:
- 90%+ of participants rated the keynote as highly relevant to their day-to-day work
- Strong real-time engagement during interactive moments and reflection prompts
- Consistent sponsor feedback citing clarity of message, energy, and practical application as key differentiators
