Edward Sullivan is on a mission to make work feel good again, because when we love our work, we are better leaders, employees, parents, and partners. Building upon a 15-year career coaching and advising top CEOs and political figures around the world, he encourages his audiences to let go of the idea that they have to have all the answers and inspires them instead to have real, honest conversations that unlock creativity, purpose, and results.
His recent best-selling book Leading with Heart has been called the antidote to the Great Resignation and was hailed as one of the best leadership books of 2022. Edward and his coauthor John Baird provide a timely and fresh perspective that helps leaders get more results out of their teams by having more emotionally connected conversations with them, in contrast with antiquated “fear-based” or “executive presence” leadership styles of the past.
More than giving keynote speeches, Edward calls his talks “keynote workshops.” Through a combination of disarming humor, touching personal stories, and powerful questions for the audience, Edward opens people up and gets them sharing their own stories with each other. His audiences leave his talks feeling inspired, energized, and more deeply connected to each other.

Heart, Fear, and PeeWee League Football
In this talk, Edward drills down into the differences in business outcomes between heart-led and fear-led organizations, and frames the contrast with a endearing and universally relatable story about his own experience as a child playing football for two very different coaches. Edward asks the audience to explore with each other their own stories of working in fear-led and heart-led organizations to help ground the material in their own lived experience.
