Keynote Topics

True to her bestselling book, Cleo Wade brings her accessible brand of wisdom to life. Audiences will discover and unlock what is blocking them from thriving, and reflect on life lessons with simple, yet enduring takeaways.

A talk woven from stories throughout her journey, Cleo encourages us all to become advocates for love and acceptance – in a time when both seem in short supply.

Making change comes in all sizes and doesn’t always have to be one big gesture or nothing. Ready to be a part of building a society rooted in love, acceptance, justice, and equality but are stuck on where to start?

In this talk, Cleo shares her ideas and mantras that will inspire you to show up and do something rather than walking away from the problems of the world.

Pulling from the work in her second best-selling book, she encourages you to keep connected to hope during difficult moments.
