Listening Unlocked: Elevating Your Leadership as a C-Suite Team
Ideal For: Senior teams experiencing communication breakdowns, disconnects with staff, or culture stagnation

Speaker:
Brent Hafele, M.A., PCC
Trusted CEO Coach | Dynamic Keynote Speaker | Culture Catalyst
Brent has served in the number one or number two leadership role across multiple businesses and nonprofit organizations at the local, national, and international levels. As a consultant and coach, he has partnered with hundreds of CEOs and senior leaders throughout North America. Through this work, he understands both the privilege and the pressure of leadership, the energy and the isolation, and the profound impact it can have on both organizations and families. He has seen it firsthand, and he has lived it.
Brent believes the modern workplace can too easily strip leaders of their humanity through unrealistic expectations and constant demands. Left unchecked, it can challenge core values, strain relationships, and leave leaders depleted. What drives him is walking alongside leaders and their teams as they navigate change and step into their next season with clarity and strength.
Brent’s work is grounded in presence and partnership. He listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions, helps leaders think strategically, and creates space for encouragement and celebration. He welcomes the real and the raw, and finds joy in helping leaders move toward lasting vibrancy.
