Speaking
Bringing the science of identity-level change to your stage, conference, or organization.
Research-grounded talks for leadership audiences, conferences, executive gatherings, and organizations navigating transition.
Dr. Amy Chiang speaks to the identity layer most leadership frameworks leave untouched.
Dr. Amy Chiang is a researcher, organizational change strategist, executive coach, founder, and the author of Survival Identity: The Hidden Patterns Running Your Work, Leadership, and Life. Drawing on 20 years of research and practice inside Fortune 100 organizations and with senior leaders across technology, education, financial services, and professional services, she speaks to what most leadership development frameworks don't address: the identity layer underneath behavior. Her talks combine academic rigor, somatic intelligence, and two decades of field experience to give audiences not just insight - but a framework for what comes next. She holds a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems, dual master's degrees, and is the recipient of the Jack Mezirow Living Theory Award.
