Gillian Alta Nycum of Gillian Alta Coaching and Consulting

Speaking

I am a creative learning designer and always take an interactive approach, even with large audiences.

I speak about Connected Leadership and Understanding Neurotypes as routes to creating and maintaining connection, engagement, accountability, empowerment, and belonging.

with Connected Leadership,

everybody wins

When leaders pause to connect; to themselves, their teams, and their purpose, the whole system shifts.

Goals stop feeling heavy.

Collaboration starts to flow.

Energy builds instead of drains.

Connected Leadership is about creating conditions where people want to give their best, because the work feels meaningful, aligned, and human.

They feel a sense of belonging, empowerment, and invested in the outcome.

Align human energy to strategic goals

and make work feel good

Talks tailored to your audience

Each talk is designed with the audience in mind to spark insight, shift perspective, and offer practical tools that can be applied right away.

Even in larger rooms, I take an experiential approach and use connection and creativity to land learnings.

Some themes include:

  • Connected Leadership in Action → The benefits of moving from control to co-creation

  • Leading in a Neuroplural World → Understanding neurotypes and how to harvest everyone’s gifts

  • The Energy of Alignment → Turning values and purpose into performance

  • Beyond Burnout → Leading with nervous system awareness and resilience

  • Conversations that Connect → Communication skills that build trust and momentum

  • Shift from from Drama to Empowerment → Shifting the stories that hold teams back

  • Stop and Look Within → Leadership development for early career women

  • Leadership Learning Circles → Practical methodology for connection and collaboration in complex environments

  • Systems Awareness → Understanding your environment and what it needs from those operating within it.

Connect

Audiences experience…

A fresh, bold perspective on leadership that balances human connection and strategic outcomes.

Practical, active-learning exercises that make the ideas stick.

A sense of possibility and a renewed belief in what’s achievable together.

Why it’s important…

Leadership isn’t about managing tasks, its about tending the garden of human potential. When you set the stage for connection and alignment, results take care of themselves. And…

everyone feels good about it.
