Speaking That Shifts Culture
Hacia delivers keynote talks for leadership teams where the cost of misalignment has stopped being theoretical. Her speaking challenges assumptions, sparks honest conversations, and gives audiences the shared language to lead culture, not just describe it.
What Leaders Say
Jim Keyes
Former CEO of 7-Eleven & Blockbuster
Hacia Atherton has provided a guide to navigating a corporate world that is increasingly dysfunctional due to our fear of change. She points out practical steps we can take to put the “human” back into “humanity”… an essential skill in a world rapidly changing with artificial intelligence.
Cr Rochelle Halstead
Councillor for Western Port Ward at Bass Coast Shire Council
It was wonderful to see our women in trade feel inspired and recognised by your insights and personal journey. Construction and trades are such an essential part of our community, wellbeing and economy. We just need more women to see trades as rewarding and fulfilling career paths. Your can-do attitude and commitment to making this change are impressive.
AJ Kulatunga
CEO OF AJK GLOBAL
Hacia is one of those rare leaders capable of inspiring a movement. She has an innate ability to create a psychologically safe environment to challenge thinking that leads to faster breakthroughs. As business evolves to be more human-centric, I highly recommend booking her for your next corporate event or engaging her as a coach to improve team performance.

Hacia is a gifted speaker, connecting with people immediately (and via a screen!) at such an authentic, human level, you both laugh and cry! Importantly she left our group today inspired to take action, to be themselves, to redefine what success means for them, to share their vulnerable wonderful selves and become extra awesome!
