Straight talk for audiences who want more than inspiration

This work usually starts when organizations want honesty — not hype — from the stage.

Desiree Goldey speaks to leaders, founders, and talent teams about careers, hiring, leadership, and the realities of today’s talent landscape — without corporate theater.

Her talks are grounded in real experience and pattern recognition, not recycled frameworks. Expect challenge, humor, and practical takeaways audiences can actually use.

Common topics include:

• The realities of today’s job market

• Hiring decisions that quietly derail growth

• Recruiting as a strategic business function

• Non-linear careers and career credibility

• Leadership accountability under pressure

Formats include keynotes, panels, offsites, and internal sessions. Virtual and in-person available.
