Lead with all of you.
The future demands nothing less.
Signature Keynote
STRATEGIC UNRULINESS™
Break the Rules. Build What’s Next.
Lead with all of you.
Most people don’t struggle because they lack talent, drive, or direction.
They struggle because they’ve been following rules they never chose.
Rules about how to lead.
Rules about what’s “appropriate.”
Rules about how much truth is acceptable.
Rules about wanting more without being “too much.”
Rules that once helped them succeed — and now quietly shape who they are allowed to be.
Strategic Unruliness™ is where those inherited rules lose their authority.
In this keynote, bestselling author Kim Bolourtchi takes audiences beneath the expectations and identities they’ve carried for years and back to the part of themselves that has been clear all along — the part that knows exactly what they want, what matters, and what they are capable of next.
This is not a keynote you sit through.
It’s a keynote you feel.
People move.
They stand and walk differently — with more of themselves available.
They access the truth they’ve been leading around instead of leading from.
They stop negotiating with beliefs that were never theirs to begin with.
And they step into the kind of clarity and courage that changes how they show up everywhere.
This is where people stop performing the leader they were taught to be —
and start leading as who they actually are.
Audiences leave with:
A truth they’ve been carrying — finally claimed
A rule they’re ready to outgrow
A clearer sense of the leader they’re becoming
A decision they’ve been postponing — now in motion
A deeper sense of presence they can feel in their bodies
A simple way to lead from truth instead of expectation
Strategic Unruliness™ becomes the moment in your conference when people stop shrinking themselves to fit the room — and start bringing their full selves into it.
Break the rules that never belonged to you — and everything expands.
Organizations don’t get stuck because they lack talent, strategy, or ambition.
They get stuck because the people inside them are leading from inherited rules — unspoken expectations about how to behave, how much to want, how to communicate, and who they’re allowed to be.
Those rules shape culture.
They shape innovation.
They shape possibility.
They shape leadership potential long before a strategy ever does.
When people break the rules that were never theirs in the first place, something powerful happens:
clarity snaps into place
courage becomes accessible
creativity opens
presence deepens
capacity expands
leadership becomes real again
This is the work Kim does.
She doesn’t offer motivation.
She offers liberation — and the language, clarity, and courage to use it.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BOOK KIM
The room wakes up.
There’s a shift the moment Kim begins — a drop into truth, presence, and a level of honesty most people haven’t accessed in years.
People sit up. They open. They remember themselves.
The culture breathes.
Teams show up less guarded and more real.
Communication sharpens.
Presence deepens.
People bring more of themselves to the work — and the work transforms.
People stop performing and start leading.
The pressure to fit the role, please the room, and follow the rules breaks.
What emerges is clarity — and the courage to act on it.
Momentum accelerates.
Once people stop negotiating with outdated rules, change moves fast.
Decisions that sat still for months finally get made.
Action becomes aligned, not forced.
Hidden potential becomes visible.
When people stop shrinking to meet expectations, you see what they’ve been capable of all along.
Innovation rises. Engagement comes back online. Possibility expands.
The impact lasts.
This isn’t hype.
It isn’t motivation.
It’s a reclamation — and audiences carry it into every room afterward.
