Trust in Turbulence: Leading When Everything Is Changing
Based on SparkEffect's landmark research, this keynote reveals what happens to organizational trust during disruption — and why the first 48 hours determine whether trust rises or collapses. Leaders learn the Trust Elasticity™ framework and actionable strategies to create a "Trust Dividend" during change.
The Manager Trust Gap: The Hidden Leadership Vulnerability
71% of employees experienced major disruption in the last 24 months, yet most managers don't realize the trust gap that's growing beneath them. This talk reveals where trust actually "lives" in organizations and gives leaders a practical toolkit to close the gap.
Disruption Is a Culture Strategy (If You Do It Right)
Most leaders treat disruption as something to survive. Kim makes the case that disruption — handled well — is the single greatest opportunity to transform culture, engage talent, and build resilience that lasts beyond the crisis.
What the Remaining Team Is Watching: Leading Through Layoffs with Integrity
When you let someone go, the remaining team is watching every move. This talk addresses the hardest leadership moment — workforce reductions — with a framework for preserving trust, engagement, and employer brand through transparent, human-centered action.
AI, Trust, and the Future of Work
AI transformation isn't a technology challenge — it's a trust challenge. Kim explores how leaders can integrate AI while maintaining the human connections that drive performance, using SparkEffect's trust research as the foundation for responsible AI adoption.
The Five C's of Trust: A Framework for Tomorrow
A highly interactive workshop format where leaders assess their organization's trust health using SparkEffect's Five C's model and leave with a personalized action plan. This session works as both a standalone workshop and an extended keynote with breakout activities.
