The Truth Is in the Trigger™: Disrupt the Leadership Capacity Crisis
-
Today’s leaders are in an active capacity crisis —stretched too thin by the pressures of aligning hybrid workforces, reconciling conflict, integrating AI, modeling inclusivity, and managing their own physical and mental health. World-class organizations and the rate of change aren’t slowing down. The leadership capacity crisis isn’t just a challenge for leaders—it’s the defining risk of our time.
Our triggers and how we respond to them are what shape leaders’ decision-making and success. Triggers are the hidden side of change, growth, and resilience.
In this transformative keynote, Global Speaker and Leadership Strategist Princess Castleberry delivers a bold, practical blueprint for leaders who want to thrive in the face of relentless change. Drawing from two decades in enterprise risk and research on behavioral volatility, she introduces her signature framework—Live, Lead, and Build Leverage™ — and the Cue to Chaos Curve™ concept to reveal how triggers shape performance, decision-making, and well-being.
Through real-world insights and interactive storytelling, Princess challenges leaders to stop chasing symptoms and start decoding the triggers driving stress, burnout, conflict, and disengagement. When leaders master their triggers, they don’t just react under pressure.

Global Speaker and Leadership Strategist Princess Castleberry delivers The Truth Is in the Trigger™ with a rare blend of strategic foresight, behavioral science, and executive-level experience. She doesn’t just motivate leaders—she equips them with actionable systems that transform how they perform under pressure.
In today’s environment, pressure doesn’t just test leadership—it exposes leadership capacity. When volatility rises, reactive leadership creates hidden costs: lost trust, stalled momentum, and weakened teams. Executives need more than inspiration; they need frameworks, language, and behaviors that scale when it matters most.
Princess teaches leaders to spot volatility before it escalates, adapt their communication and decision-making in real time, and build resilience that accelerates performance instead of eroding it.
Audiences leave her keynotes not only inspired but fully equipped to decode disruption earlier, shift faster, and lead stronger—faster and for good.

"I was moved by Princess' vulnerability, but also walked away with a practical framework for identifying the triggers that can lead to burnout. She illustrated how individuals in positions of power can often fall into the trap of trying to excel in every aspect of their lives...leading to unsustainable lifestyles. It was such a good reminder to assess my various roles and relationships, and make conscious decisions about where I want to be the top performer."
