Lena Thompson transforms high-achieving professionals from burnout to breakthrough by teaching emotional resilience as the foundation for authentic leadership and decision-making, especially during times of pressure and change.

As an international keynote speaker and emotional intelligence expert, Lena draws from 15+ years in corporate tech consulting for Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, and global financial institutions. Her unique perspective combines professional success with personal achievement as a marathon runner and two-time Commonwealth Games competitor representing South Africa in fencing.

Organisations facing leadership challenges amid uncertainty benefit from Lena's distinctive blend of corporate strategy and emotional intelligence methodologies. Her approach integrates NLP communication techniques, trauma-informed coaching, and Human Design principles to help executives recognise burnout signals, develop sustainable leadership practices, and create cultures where authentic decision-making thrives even under pressure.

Audiences leave Lena's presentations with practical tools for emotional regulation during high-stakes situations, frameworks for making values-aligned decisions when facing competing priorities, and strategies to build teams where psychological safety and performance coexist. Her workshops create immediate shifts in how leaders approach both personal resilience and organisational challenges.
