Speaking & Workshops

Bring A.M. to your event.

A.M. Klein brings the message of Growing Tomorrow's Leaders to corporate teams, women's leadership conferences, and educator training — challenging audiences to rethink where leadership development actually begins.

Her talks cut across boardrooms and living rooms because the fundamentals are the same. She doesn't lecture from a distance — she meets audiences where they are and leaves them with something they can use before they walk out the door.

Signature talks

Three talks. One core conviction.

The leadership skills that matter most aren't in any MBA program. They show up in how we raise children, run Scout troops, and show up for our communities — and we've been dismissing them as "soft" when they're actually the hardest and most powerful ones.

Talk One

"The Leadership Nobody Taught You"

For corporate teams, managers & educators

The most effective leadership skills aren't in any MBA program or management training. They show up in how we raise children, run Scout troops, and show up for our communities — and we've been dismissing them as "soft" when they're actually the hardest and most powerful ones.

This is the bridge talk. It walks into a corporate room and reframes everything the audience thought leadership was — without explaining the work away. Anchored by a true story about a school principal who modeled what no title could teach.

Talk Two

"Leading from the HEART"

For women in leadership & corporate teams

Most leadership development asks you to be more — more assertive, more strategic, more polished. This talk asks you to lead from who you already are.

A.M. introduces the HEART framework (Humility, Empathy, Authenticity, Relationships, Trust) not as a checklist but as a return to something people already know and stopped trusting in themselves. The emotional moment: when someone in the room realizes the thing they've been apologizing for at work is actually their greatest leadership asset.

Talk Three

"Permission to Pause"

For women in leadership & educators

What happens when a high-achieving woman stops — not because she burned out, but because she listened to something louder than her resume?

This is A.M.'s personal story talk: the sabbatical, the book, the pivot, the moment she bet on herself. It's about the courage it takes to create space in a culture that rewards constant motion. This talk gives audiences permission to want something different — and a framework for what to do when they get it.

Speaker bio

A.M. Klein

A.M. Klein has spent thirty years watching leaders at their best and their worst. As a senior professional across multiple industries, she had a front-row seat to the management styles that built people up and the ones that quietly dismantled them.

What she noticed: the qualities that defined the best leaders she worked with were the same qualities she was trying to build in her own children. That observation became a conviction, and that conviction became a body of work.

A.M. is the author of Growing Tomorrow's Leaders and the founder of Raising Leaders HQ, where she works with both parents and managers on the skills that connect these two worlds: the Gardener's Mindset, coaching over commanding, staying grounded when the pressure is on, setting balanced boundaries, and modeling the leadership you want to see.

Her message cuts across boardrooms and living rooms because the fundamentals are the same. You can't lead a team well if you've never examined how you lead at home. And you can't raise a strong, confident child if you haven't done the work to become a leader yourself.
