Ginny Priem
With over two decades of leadership experience in the corporate world, Ginny Priem is not only a dynamic and captivating motivational speaker and a #1 bestselling author, but also hosts the popular Drinking With Gin podcast, and holds a master certification in life coaching. In her #1 best selling book, You’re My Favorite, she shares the true story of her own personal traumatic end of a romantic relationship with a shocking twist — the man she thought was living in her house turned out to not be the man she thought he was at all. This harrowing experience sent her on her own path of healing and growing.
In discovering her own path forward, she created GINpath, which is the path that she developed, tested and implemented to help others in growing through adversity. We all face tough times and have that one story, one that we may not think is big enough to share or manage through, but it’s what we do with these stories that really matters. Ginny’s keynotes leave audiences inspired to take the next step on their own path and overcome obstacles that come their way.
Tina VanSteenbergen
I learned too late in my life that women need women. To be successful in the workplace. To feel understood. To help us believe in ourselves. To feel less alone in the world. Women need women. Women deserve strong communities full of empathy, kindness, and empowerment at work, at home, and literally everywhere in their lives. That’s where I come in.
I help women tear down the walls built between us. My speaking style gives women permission to open up, have honest conversations, and connect. With a combination of authenticity, storytelling, and humor, I’ve been able to help hundreds of thousands of women build relationships with one another, believe in themselves, and take up space at companies, campuses, and organizations around North America.
My work sets my soul on fire. So does a good nap. An excellent pour of bourbon. A beautiful snow. A peaceful and reflective sunset flight. An episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race. A perfectly green avocado. The skyline of New York City. A warm and cheesy mac n’ cheese. A well-written West Wing quote. My husband, my son, and a Minnesotan accent, of course.

George Campbell
George Campbell is a Hall of Fame Speaker, published author, and in his rebellious youth, an award-winning stand-up comic, appearing on stages with the likes of Jerry Seinfeld and others way more famous that himself.
His work on countless corporate stages brought him to the attention of 60 Minutes, the LA Times, and (more embarrassingly), the game show, To Tell the Truth.
And then, he stumbled across a question so compelling that it changed the direction of his career and his life: How is possible for smart, capable people to be completely aware of a few simple actions, that done consistently, would result in tremendous positive changes, and yet be unable to generate that ongoing behavior?
George spent the next four years researching the neuroscience surrounding this behavior. That work culminated in his bold new project, The Consistency Chain.
