Presentations

His two hallmark keynotes, "Instant Credibility" and "The Weight We Carry", blend powerful storytelling with actionable leadership insight. Each presentation delivers a memorable experience that leaves audiences inspired to lead, communicate, and show up with greater purpose.

"Instant Credibility"

Before you ever speak, people decide whether to lean in, or tune out. Instant Credibility is about mastering that moment. It’s where confidence meets authenticity, and science meets storytelling. You’ll learn how to earn trust before you speak and keep it through the way you speak. Because credibility isn’t something you claim; it’s something people feel the moment you walk in the room and remember long after you’ve left it.

Step into that moment and own it.

Audience Take Aways

Earn trust before you speak - project confidence, warmth, and authenticity the moment you enter the room.

Turn clarity into influence - translate complex ideas into messages that inspire action and belief.
Engage the brain, not just the ears - use the science of dopamine, oxytocin, and cortisol to capture attention and build connection.
Lead with quiet power - use presence, pacing, and silence to command attention without demanding it.
Leave a lasting impression - transform every interaction into one that builds trust, respect, and lasting credibility.

Credibility isn’t claimed - it’s felt.

It’s in the calm before you speak, the story that sticks, and the moment people decide they’d follow your lead.

"When you master that moment, you don’t just communicate - you connect, inspire, and elevate everyone in the room".

"The Weight We Carry"

Every leader carries something unseen - the pressure, responsibility, and quiet hope that others depend on. Dr. Jeff Wisotzkey knows this from two worlds: the high-stakes environment of clinical genomics and the unexpected clarity that comes from standing on a stage with a bass guitar strapped on. When you’re the bassist, you’re the foundation, everyone is listening for you even if they don’t notice you. Leadership under pressure works the same way: calm presence creates stability, and stability creates trust.

In this heartfelt and science-grounded keynote, Jeff reveals what leading through crisis taught him about the invisible load leaders carry, and how true resilience isn’t about “getting back to normal,” but about reconstructing forward into something stronger, wiser, and more human.

Through powerful storytelling, humor, and neuroscience-based insight, Jeff shows how gratitude, empathy, and calm don’t just help teams recover, they help them evolve. Because great leaders don’t restore the old; they rebuild the new. And like any great bassist, they set a steady rhythm that helps everyone else rise.

Audience Takeaways

Recognize and manage the invisible weight leaders carry, and how to share it with others.
Understand the difference between recovery and reconstruction, and why “back to normal” isn’t the goal.
Use gratitude and connection to rebuild trust, safety, and engagement under pressure.
Lead with clarity, calm, and credibility so your influence endures beyond the crisis, no matter the stage you’re standing on.

“Resilience isn’t about bouncing back - it’s about rebuilding forward. We don’t go back to who we were; we grow into who we’re meant to be.”
