Audacity in Leadership: Design Is Not What You Do. It’s How You Live.

Design education teaches you how to solve problems—but what happens when you realize you can redesign entire systems, organizations, and even your own life?

In this powerful keynote, Stevi Gable Carr reveals how design thinking became the foundation for solving one of today’s most urgent challenges: human burnout and misalignment in high-performing environments. Through personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and practical insight, she explores the power of audacity in leadership—what it means to trust your perspective, pursue alignment over external validation, and use your design training to create meaningful impact whether as an intrapreneur, entrepreneur, or catalyst for change within existing systems.

This keynote will challenge you to think beyond traditional career paths, reconnect with your creative instincts, and recognize the extraordinary range of possibilities made possible by a design education. Because design isn’t just what you do. It’s how you see. It’s how you lead. It’s how you live.
