In this keynote, Hazel shows audiences how to lead with clarity, conviction, and courage in fast-changing environments—by anchoring in their identity. When leaders know what drives them, they don’t just adapt—they spark lasting change.
The Innovation Habit
Rewiring the way you think, lead, and live for everyday innovation
Theme: Innovation + Mindset + Micro-habits
Innovation isn’t a lightning strike—it’s a learned way of thinking, built through daily risks, intentional habits, and the courage to question the box entirely.

Be the Spark
Because playing it safe is the riskiest move of all
