Henna Pryor Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Henna Pryor, CSP is a dynamic Workplace Performance Expert who speaks and writes about performance mindset, interpersonal dynamics, high-impact communication, and embracing bumps in a world that keeps optimizing for smoothness. She is a regular Expert Columnist for Inc. Magazine, 18x award-winning author of Good Awkward, and an in-demand global keynote speaker. Her playful personality and insightful talks blend two decades of working with corporate leaders and teams with a fresh, science-based approach to taking more strategic risks and boosting social and mental fitness for success at work.

Henna Pryor is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) and 2x TEDx and SXSW speaker who helps teams close the gap between being competent and being believed - the hidden tax of a skeptical, AI-saturated workplace. A workplace performance expert, Inc. columnist, and LinkedIn Learning instructor, she works with conferences and corporate teams in financial services, pharma, technology, and professional associations to turn doubt into trust that travels. The idea behind her second book, The Signal Gap, came out of nearly two decades of corporate experience - working closely with leaders, sales teams, and high-performing professionals, reading people, earning buy-in, and watching careers rise or stall on believability rather than raw competence. That field research became her work: helping high performers be as trusted and influential as they are talented. Her keynotes tackle performance mindset, high-impact communication, navigating change, and what she calls Social Muscle Atrophy: the quiet erosion of the human skills that make teams believable. Audiences leave with specific, research-backed, immediately usable tools, delivered with the warmth and candor of a sharp friend who happens to have the receipts. She's been invited to speak twice for TEDx, in NYC and Wilmington, DE, and brings her expertise to Google, Workday, Johnson & Johnson, and JPMorganChase. She's a SUCCESS Magazine Woman of Influence, a LinkedIn Learning and CNBC instructor, and a two-time SXSW Workplace track speaker, and she's frequently sought out by TIME, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, INSIDER, NBC, The Washington Post, Fast Company, Business.com, and HuffPost. Henna is the author of Good Awkward and The Signal Gap: How to Boost Believability and Influence in the Age of Doubt (Ideapress). She is the founder of Pryority Group. Whether on a mainstage or a leadership offsite, her message is the same: in an age of doubt, being believed is the real competitive edge.

"From the moment Henna took the stage, our audience was hooked! She was not only entertaining and energetic, but she also shared timely and relevant insights to help us navigate the discomfort we're all experiencing in these uncertain times. We're still getting feedback from attendees about the impact of her talk weeks later. We loved working with Henna and would strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a captivating keynote!" – Elli Reges, PhD, Director of Learning and Development, Security Industry Association "Her energy was contagious and her competence shined through from the very first call! Not only was she spot on with her content and messaging, but we couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the process." – Robyn Ginese, Global Head for Executive Leadership and Development, FIS Global "If you want an engaging speaker who is authentic, motivational and understanding of what it takes to have a bias for action, then HENNA IS IT." – John Dougan, Senior Director, Global Sales Delivery, Workday "It's been nearly 3 months since we had the pleasure of Henna speaking to our group at an organizational launch event and many of the nuggets she shared still stick with me! What I appreciate most, however, is learning that I'm not the only one who remembers those pearls of wisdom... barely a week goes by where someone doesn't mention something Henna shared with us. This broad, large scale impact she had with our team impresses me even more than the way her messages resonated with me. That, is true organizational impact and I couldn't recommend Henna more. She hit an absolute home run for our team and organization!" -- Parker Richardson, VP Omnichannel Strategy & Operations, Astellas "If you are looking for a speaker to light a fire in your growth team —Henna is who you should book. Her session gave our team so much energy (as in, I had to cut my team off and move on to dinner at the end of the day)." – Rebecca Black, VP of Marketing, RevUnit
