Henna Pryor, PCC, is a dynamic Workplace Performance Expert, award-winning 2x TEDx and global keynote speaker, virtual presenter, author, and professional executive coach. Her playful style and high-impact talks blend two decades of work 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. Her clients call her their “secret weapon for impossible change,” an honor she wears proudly. She does not accept excuses and believes the very qualities that have led high achievers to their current success are precisely what hold them back from even greater levels of accomplishment and personal fulfillment. She is known for her science-backed approach to improving the performance, habits, and actions of ambitious high achievers – in her fun, no-nonsense, no-jargon way – to move them from their first level of success to their next one. An accomplished speaker and author, she has been invited to speak twice for TEDx and on the Workplace track at SXSW. She brings her expertise to a variety of global organizations, including Google, Workday, Johnson & Johnson, and JPMorgan Chase. She’s recognized as a SUCCESS Magazine Woman of Influence and has been featured in top TV, podcast, and print media outlets, including Forbes, NBC, The Washington Post, Fast Company, Inc., Business.com, and HuffPost. Henna founded Pryority Group to realize a vision that transformational speaking, coaching, and performance growth workshops should be available to everyone. She believes the key to most people’s success is leaning into awkwardness a little more and worrying about stinking a little less. (She might just have you do both.) Throughout a 14-year career in staffing, Henna broke multiple records and successfully matched thousands of finance and accounting professionals into new opportunities with companies ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 global organizations. She won Rookie of the Year, Performer of the Year, and was a perennial top 10% performer, earning attention from several top media outlets. She’s a lifelong learner who has been studying human behavior and performance for over two decades and loves to bring fresh energy to business practices and conversations. Her best-selling book, Good Awkward: How to Embrace the Embarrassing and Celebrate the Cringe to Become the Bravest You, was endorsed by NFL quarterback Russell Wilson and former Harvard Business Review editor Karen Dillon. It has won prestigious awards, including being named a Kirkus Reviews “Best Book of the Year.” Henna graduated with honors with a BS in Finance from the University of Delaware and an MS in Accounting from the University of Virginia. She also earned her Coaching Certification from American University and achieved her Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential through the International Coaching Federation. Finally, she loves traveling the world with her husband and two kids and spoiling the Cavapoo puppy she swore she never wanted (and now can’t get enough of).

Awkward and Upward!: Your surprising secret weapon for taking more professional risks

Advances in technology have made it easy to avoid real human interaction. While texting, online ordering, and “swiping right” is convenient, we’re losing the skills of relating to others, building trust and connection, and enduring the critical friction and messiness we get from being in proximity to each other. This weakening of our social muscles is slowly destroying our ability to take smart risks at work - like collaborating with colleagues, initiating tough conversations, speaking up, and sharing new ideas. Risk-taking sounds good in theory, but most of us have a hard time moving from wishful thinking to execution. Why? Because when we have a chance to take a risk in the moment, we feel awkward – and that awkwardness bumps up against our deep desire for others to approve of us and what we do. As it turns out, it’s what we improve in the face of taking risks – often despite others’ judgment – that leads to the greatest growth. After all, the fastest path to major improvement comes from strengthening what’s weak, rather than what’s strong. Join 2x TEDx Speaker, Executive Coach, and Workplace Performance Expert, Henna Pryor, to learn how embracing the Good Awkward is your secret weapon for skyrocketing teamwork, speaking up boldly, and strengthening your risk-taking muscle. After this keynote, you’ll be able to: •Pinpoint the exact reason it’s been difficult to take risks - and how to move past it •Use deliberate discomfort and strategic microstressors to rebuild our social and risk-taking muscles •Create a custom plan for speaking up, sharing ideas, and being courageous and risk-ready whenever the chance arises

The Changing Psychology of Influence in the Modern Era: How to overcome resistance to move your ideas forward

In the modern era, the new psychology for creating new actions, influence, inspiration, and navigating through uncertainty has changed. We need to take a new approach to create new actions in our teammates and in ourselves, to persuade prospects, to have difficult conversations, and to maximize opportunities for partnership. If you've ever found yourself facing resistance to your ideas - you're not alone. Even when we have a great idea that will affect enormous change, we don't always get the reaction – or action – we're hoping for. That’s because we spend the majority of our energy making our ideas and changes more compelling, more interesting, more attractive -- pouring on the fuel -- that we rarely discover the frictions that are working against us, and all humans have them. In this interactive session, join 2x TEDx and Global Keynote Speaker, Author, and Workplace Performance Expert, Henna Pryor, to uncover and explore the 4 specific reasons why people resist change, and more importantly, concrete strategies to overcome them so we can move our ideas, initiatives, team members, prospects, and mission forward. After this keynote, you’ll be able to: •Shift away from problem-solving to a more valuable strategy •Understand how being the "expert" is hurting your influence instead of helping •Position your idea from several new angles that increase trust and get the green light you need for people to say yes

Pushing Limits, Igniting Excellence: Unlocking the New Mindset of Success

With changing landscapes, tough competition, and information overload, winning market share is harder than ever. We may have high levels of excellence, but that excellence comes at a surprising cost – it keeps us stagnant and quietly discourages taking the risks we need to grow today. Why? The dark side of success is we often focus on what we already excel at instead of leaning into the discomfort of what excelling today requires: more innovation, creative collaboration, and thinking outside of the box. But fear not – we already know the fastest path to major improvement comes from strengthening what’s weak, rather than what’s strong. Today, that means we need to become excellent at being uncomfortable. In this keynote, author and 2x TEDx and Keynote Speaker, Henna Pryor will share the modern mental skills for skyrocketing your team’s performance, frontloading discomfort, and unlocking the innovation needed to tap into new sources of success. After this keynote, you’ll be able to: •Pinpoint the exact reason it’s been difficult to take risks - and how to move past it •Use the tools of neutral thinking and deliberate discomfort to expand mental muscle •Formulate a personalized game plan to be risk-ready whenever the chance arises Not only will you feel more empowered to stretch into new spaces, but you’ll walk away with specific mindset tactics and strategies to be more resilient, less stressed, and more inspired by change in your own life.

Good Awkward: How to Embrace the Embarrassing and Celebrate the Cringe to Become The Bravest You

"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
