Speaking…
Conversations for accomplished leaders navigating what’s next.
Signature Conversations…
After decades of building a successful career, the next chapter isn’t always another step up the same ladder.
Sometimes the more important question is:
What do I want everything I’ve built to make possible now?
Beth Kenney brings more than 35 years of global business development, professional-services, and private trusted advisory and growth experience to candid, intelligent conversations about leadership, career capital, commercial influence and what comes next.
Her speaking is relevant to senior executives and professional audiences, with a particular focus on the evolving careers, ambitions and opportunities of accomplished women.
Your Career Capital
You’ve spent decades building it. Do you know what it’s worth?
Your value is bigger than your title or résumé.
It lives in your judgment, reputation, relationships, expertise, commercial understanding and ability to make things happen.
Beth helps experienced leaders recognize the value they carry with them—and think more expansively about where that value could take them next.
What Happens When the Career Ladder Ends Before Your Career Does?
Rethinking ambition, identity, income and career capital in the second half of a successful career.
You may not be ready to retire. But you may no longer want another version of the role you’ve already mastered.
Beth explores the often-overlooked space between “What’s my next job?” and “I’m finished working.”
Another senior leadership role. Board work. Advisory. Consulting. Fractional leadership. Entrepreneurship. A portfolio career.
The possibilities are broader than most executives realize.
The challenge is learning to recognize the career capital you’ve spent decades building—and deciding how you want to use it now.
The Second Half of Ambition
What does success look like when the next promotion is no longer the point?
We spend years thinking about how to become successful.
Far less attention is given to what happens once we are.
Beth opens a different conversation about ambition, money, identity, relevance, freedom, purpose and contribution and how our definition of success can evolve as our careers do.
For women in particular, it is an opportunity to question inherited expectations about achievement and consider what they genuinely want from the next chapter.
Not less ambitious. More intentional.
For Professional Services & Commercial Leaders
Rainmakers Aren’t Born
Turning professional expertise into commercial influence.
Technical excellence can build an exceptional career. But at senior levels, expertise alone is rarely enough.
Drawing on more than 35 years in global business development, Beth explores how successful professionals become trusted advisers and commercial leaders without adopting an uncomfortable or transactional approach to selling.
It is about learning to turn:
Expertise into relevance.
Relationships into opportunity.
Trust into influence.
Influence into sustainable growth.
