EX Leaders: Elevate your communications impact
We’re thrilled to announce that Vanessa Van Edwards, renowned behavioral researcher and bestselling author of Captivate and Cues, will be a keynote speaker at Unite 25 – the premier hybrid gathering for employee experience leaders.
Taking place this October at The Conrad, Nashville, Unite 25 brings together EX, HR, IT, and Communications leaders from the world’s most iconic organizations to explore how to exceed the pace of change by moving faster, connecting deeper, and leading smarter. Vanessa’s work sits right at the heart of that mission.
"The Hidden Language of People: Communicate with Impact, Influence with Intention"
In a world where transformation happens overnight and hybrid work is the norm, the ways we build trust, spark collaboration, and foster culture have fundamentally shifted. Yet one thing remains clear: leaders who can connect and influence win.
In her Unite 25 keynote, Vanessa Van Edwards will share actionable, science-backed strategies that EX leaders can use to:
- Build instant trust across teams, locations, and functions
- Communicate with clarity, warmth, and executive presence
- Decode hidden behavioral cues to foster deeper alignment
- Influence organizational change through authentic human connection
This session goes beyond theory, giving leaders a practical blueprint to lead cultural transformation from the inside out, through every meeting, message, and micro-moment.
Why this session is important
As enterprises move faster, the human signals we send - consciously and unconsciously - become even more powerful. Whether you're launching a new initiative, navigating large-scale change, or building global alignment, how you communicate can make or break success.
Vanessa's keynote will equip EX leaders with:
- A deeper understanding of behavioral science principles that drive high-trust, high-performance cultures
- Practical techniques to strengthen communication and influence at every level of the organization
- Personal development tools to show up with greater confidence, clarity, and impact
In a world of dashboards and disruption, human connection is still the ultimate advantage - and this session will show you how to unlock it.
