Most keynotes are like fireworks.
They create a spectacular moment, but moments fade.

The brain isn’t naturally wired for change. It’s wired for survival—seeking safety, comfort, and predictability. So when we’re presented with something new, the brain often resists it, no matter how inspiring it sounds.

This is why so many events fall short of creating lasting impact. They focus on entertainment instead of behavior change.

Flourishing isn’t a solo sport. The healthiest, happiest people have one thing in common: they nurture relationships on purpose.

So if you’ve lost touch with someone, reach out. If your village feels too small, grow it. If you’ve been isolating, open the door.

It’s not too late. And it’s so, so worth it.

Unity and division are not just abstract concepts—they shape the way we think, feel, and interact. While division often feels like an instinctive reaction, unity is something we can intentionally cultivate through trust, collaboration, and shared purpose. Whether in the workplace or society, we all have a role to play in choosing connection over separation.

How will you create unity in your team or community today?

In a world shaped by hybrid work, division, and burnout, your people aren’t just tired—they’re disconnected. They don’t need another productivity workshop. They need a reason to care about each other again.

Most keynotes follow the same script: a speaker talks, the audience listens. But what if that model is outdated—and actually working against how people learn best? In this post, Melissa Majors explores the neuroscience behind why traditional lectures fall flat, how social learning creates real transformation, and why facilitating dialogue at scale is a skill that sets great speakers apart. Discover why the future of impactful keynotes belongs to a new kind of leader: the Keynote Facilitator™.

There’s a unique kind of joy that comes from realizing your story made a difference in someone else’s life.

In this post, I explore the emotional impact of sharing our stories, the science behind why it feels so good, and how In Your Shoes was designed to turn audiences into both learners and givers of wisdom. Because in the right space, a single story can change everything.
