Cheryl Cran Speaking Fee: $20,000 to $30,000

We are living in a time of flux — ongoing disruption, uncertainty, and accelerated change. Leaders and teams today are navigating economic volatility, technological transformation, identity shifts, and rising pressure to deliver results while supporting human wellbeing. These times call for more than strategy alone. They call for discernment, adaptability, and the capacity to lead through change with clarity, energy and empowered action. Cheryl Cran has spent over twenty years working at the intersection of leadership, change, and the future of life and work. Long before founding her consulting practice in 2000, Cheryl built her leadership foundation inside complex, highly regulated environments. She spent a decade in senior leadership roles in the financial sector, including insurance and credit unions, where she led multi-million-dollar operations and navigated high-stakes decision-making, performance pressure, and continuous change. These experiences gave her a deep, firsthand understanding of leadership from the inside — balancing results with the human realities of work. For more than two decades, Cheryl has worked with leaders, teams, and organizations globally, helping them anticipate change, build resilience, and adapt with confidence. Known for her future-oriented perspective, Cheryl has a unique ability to identify emerging patterns early and translate them into practical, human-centered strategies that prepare people and organizations for what’s next. She is the author of eleven books, including Super.Crucial.Human, The Art of Change Leadership, and her most recent work, What the Flux? 44 Questions To Help You Flex to Flow. This latest book reflects an evolution in her work — moving beyond frameworks to address the deeper questions individuals and leaders are grappling with today: uncertainty, meaning, identity, and what it truly takes to humanly lead in an era of constant change. Cheryl has spoken on stages across North America and internationally to audiences sizes ranging from small and intimate to thousands. Her strength lies not only in insight, but in her ability to meet audiences where they are — addressing the real challenges leaders and teams are experiencing beneath the surface. Her work has been recognized globally. Named #1 in Future of Work by Onalytica, ranked Top 10 in Future of Work by GoCatalant, and featured in media including CIO Magazine,Forbes, CNBC, and Fast Company. Her clients include organizations such as Beacon Health, Fairstone, Amazon, Upwork, Bell, Gartner, BMO, and RE/MAX. Today, Cheryl’s work is anchored in three integrated leadership capacities: Flux — understanding and navigating uncertainty, disruption, grief, identity shifts, AI, and the growing challenge of discernment in a rapidly changing world. Flex — building human adaptability, resilience, and the leadership capability to respond wisely under pressure. Flow — integrating the whole human system — clarity, energy, insight, and action — to lead with agility, creativity and an integrated approach that leads to stellar outcomes. Cheryl’s work helps leaders and organizations move beyond reaction into intentional leadership — transforming disruptions into clarity, challenges into learnings, and changes into opportunity.
