Business & Leadership Keynote Speaker

I had tried it all–every book, every software, and every calendar/planner—to help me be more “productive.” I’ll admit it, I was addicted to productivity and self-help. After years of living life with my hair on fire, I had to make a change.

Keynote Topics for Your Upcoming Business, Leadership, or Team Building Event

These are just a few of the Keynote Topics. I can customize an in-person or virtual keynote or workshop to meet the needs of your core leaders or your entire organization.

Live from Rest, Not Rush

This keynote delivers a powerful message for audiences seeking to break free from the cycle of constant busyness and embrace a life of purpose and intentionality. Through a compelling personal journey of overcoming workaholism, it reveals the hard lessons learned and the pivotal shift that led to greater joy and freedom. Drawing from the REALIFE Process® Life Management Framework, attendees will gain practical insights on how to live from rest, not rush—prioritizing what truly matters and creating a sustainable, intentional rhythm for both work and life. Ideal for organizations and teams looking to inspire meaningful priorities and a healthier approach to success.

Rest is Not a 4 Letter Word

Redefining REST as a strategic leadership practice is essential for sustainable success. This session introduces a transformative approach to leadership, showing how integrating behaviors, routines, and rhythms of rest leads to greater sustainability, clarity, and intentional impact. Drawing from the REALIFE Process® and the philosophy of living from rest, not rush, leaders will discover practical strategies to harness rest as a powerful tool—not a weakness—for driving meaningful growth and aligning their work with a higher purpose. Ideal for organizations and teams looking to cultivate a culture of well-being, focus, and long-term success.

The KINDNESS ADVANTAGE

True leadership isn’t about authority—it’s about influence, impact, and care. Let's explore what it means to be a KIND leader—one who Knows, Includes, Nurtures, and Develops those they lead. Using real-life eadership scenarios, and practical strategies, we’ll uncover how kindness is a strength, not a weakness, and how leading with compassion, wisdom, and intentionality transforms teams, businesses, and communities.

It's not often you come across a book that leaves you this informed AND inspired. The next time I'm asked for advice on how to live a meaningful life, 'Read Teresa McCloy's book, Do What Matters' will be the next words out of my mouth.

Teresa was great to work with. She was good at incorporating challenges or current events happening in our company into her topics. We loved that she made every session engaging and tried to create a conversation rather than talking at us the whole time. She has fun activities, too! We enjoyed working with her. She is a wonderful person.

I really enjoyed how Teresa engaged with the team. She asked questions and provided time for individuals to apply what they learned to their individual situations. We had previously done this workshop with Teresa, but since we have doubled in size since then, we felt it would be a worthwhile exercise to do it again and it really paid off. All of our employees raved about it, and I can see some of the lessons learned in their conversations!

As part of our year-long Leadership Class, CREW Atlanta engaged Teresa to address, initially, our Time Management Class.  We wanted to try something different from “managing your in-box, meetings and schedules.”  We were thrilled with Teresa’s fresh, authentic and vulnerable approach to managing your life and what truly matters.  Teresa worked with us to customize an all-day session broken into manageable segments.  Our leadership class was energized and ready to take on new challenges with new perspectives on managing life.
