Former Director, Executive Recruiting at Google, Conscious Leadership Expert - LAI VIdeo : Job Details

Former Director, Executive Recruiting at Google, Conscious Leadership Expert. Ginny Clarke stands as a transformative force in leadership and career management. With decades of executive experience and an unwavering commitment to redefining workplace culture, Ginny empowers leaders and organizations to embrace empathy, agility, and human-centered transformation.

• Led Google's executive recruiting team, built the company's first Internal Mobility Program, and served as Partner at Spencer Stuart.
• Guides organizations through complexity and disruption, helping leaders cultivate resilient, purpose-driven workplaces.
• Author of 'Career Mapping: Charting Your Course in the New World of Work,' a powerful framework for navigating career growth.
• Engages large audiences on her YouTube channel and social media platforms with empowering content so professionals can thrive.

• Leading vs. Managing: The Future of Both in an AI World. With AI transforming the workplace, understanding the critical distinction between leading and managing has become essential for organizational success. Gallup research reveals that only 18% of people in leadership positions are considered good at leading, and only 10% of people have natural talent to manage effectively. As AI handles routine oversight, both managers and leaders must evolve, integrating coaching behaviors to develop human potential. This keynote explores the fundamental differences between managing and leading, why both roles are essential and evolving, their future applications in an AI-augmented workplace, and practical strategies for leaders and team members to create more effective, human-centered work environments.
• Re-Humanizing Leadership: Restore, Reset, Reclaim. In this transformative keynote, Ginny Clarke challenges organizations to move beyond industrial-age leadership models toward a more conscious, human-centered approach. Drawing from ecological principles, personal transformation, and organizational psychology, Clarke reveals how today's workplaces stand at a critical inflection point where meaning matters more than metrics. Through powerful storytelling and research-backed insights, she guides audiences through a three-part journey: restoring human dignity and agency at the individual level, resetting organizational systems that no longer serve us, and reclaiming our collective humanity in the workplace. Participants will discover practical strategies to create workplaces that function as thriving ecosystems rather than machines, where authentic connection, purpose, and natural human rhythms drive sustainable success. Perfect for executives, managers, and emerging leaders seeking to unleash their organization's full potential in a rapidly changing world.
• Conscious Leadership in Uncertain Times: Building Resilient Workforces. Uncertainty has become the new normal, affecting workplaces and individuals alike. A 2016 Gallup poll found that only 18% of managers demonstrate a high level of talent for managing others, meaning that a staggering 82% lack the necessary leadership skills. Conscious leadership—leading with self-awareness, empathy, and integrity—is the key to navigating this turbulence while fostering resilience and growth. In this talk, Ginny Clarke outlines three essential pillars for thriving in today's evolving workplace:

• Building a foundation for talent by aligning systems and processes with organizational needs.
• Optimizing talent through competency-based assessments and sound hiring practices.
• Conscious Leadership to create inclusive, human-centered cultures.

By embracing these principles, leaders can transform uncertainty into an opportunity for innovation and collaboration.

It was refreshing to have a presenter who spoke without slides and slowly enough that her ideas sank in. Her ideas and analysis thoughtful. Often presentations move so swiftly, any questions I might have don\'t percolate up until the speaker has moved to a different topic. Her presentation was so soundly structured I could still outline it for you almost 2 weeks later.

I was beyond impressed with Ginny and the client was very pleased. Ginny spoke for 60 straight minutes (without a single note) and then took Q&A for 30 minutes. She not only discussed the challenges that employers are facing around hiring and retaining talent, but also offered solutions for identifying the best candidates and keeping teams together. Ginny then incorporated aspects of DEI into the presentation. She presented data that shows how diverse teams outperform teams that lack diversity. In a nutshell, a diverse team is better for a business's bottom line.

ACHE

Ginny is a rockstar! Our members really resonated with her, and I saw lots of notetaking. I hope we can have her back soon.

Her presentation was so soundly structured I could still outline it for you almost 2 weeks later. Her tone was serious. Her ideas and analysis thoughtful. Her guidance immediately actionable. This is exactly what we asked for. She delivered the truth. She took competing ideas about what is happening in the workforce, and she contextualized them. She went a step further and clearly explained how they aren\'t competing ideas, but deeply related/connected. That was very timely and helpful. For what it is worth, our photographer said she was the most photogenic speaker he has shot! Apparently, shooting speakers is hard, and her measured presence made his work easy.

A big thanks to Ginny for speaking at our virtual event on such short notice. It was a big success, and she was really a brilliant panelist. We've had some great feedback. People are saying she was thought provoking and appreciated that her messages came with real-world, best-in-class experience. They loved the insight and the honesty too.

Ginny was the biggest hit for our entire event. We can't thank her enough for sharing her insight, knowledge, and wisdom at Cisco's Marketing Velocity Digital. Our audience was blown away! I hope we can have her back soon.

Wow! Ginny was such a powerhouse and so inspirational on so many levels. I felt she showed me clear pathways how to develop my skills and a glimpse into the potential leader I hope to be. The use of language and how during a performance review, you can close ‘gaps' when you view situations differently was especially beneficial to me.
