Cynthia Stadd

CYNTHIA STADD | The Self-Leadership Catalyst Keynote Entertainer + Leadership Performance Speaker | Corporate Educator | Executive Growth Coach | Pro Dancer + Theatre Performer

Cyn is performance multiplied. She doesn't just speak; she commands the stage, blending theatrical performance with educational depth to produce change that's actionable and unexpectedly fun.
With the fire of a performer and the expertise of a seasoned coach and holistic health practitioner, she offers the rare blend most stages have never seen: corporate credibility with Broadway-style presence. For over two decades, Cynthia Stadd has developed business leaders, creatives, and purpose-driven service providers from the inside out, building self-connected performance that drives real impact. Her culture-shifting leadership programs, including women-only initiatives, have served Amway, KPMG, Sunrun Solar, and Wings Credit Union. Each is a deep-dive built on science-backed tools that strengthen emotional intelligence, mental fitness, and relational agency, turning disconnection into clarity and contribution. She also created three digital courses serving 26,000+ learners. She inspires high performers done with surface-level success to rewire how they develop their people, and themselves, with results that stick. Her path to the keynote stage was forged through her own recovery from disordered eating, early-onset menopause, and Type-A burnout. That passage from breakdown to resilient reconnection with her mind, body, and purpose became the evidence-based framework she now teaches: The Embodiment Advantage™. At 50, after two decades away from the stage, she created, choreographed, and starred in an original twelve-member dance theatre production, proof that reimagining what's possible has no expiration date. Cyn lives in the Boulder, CO area with her family, skis because Colorado would expel her if she didn't, and fully intends to be cutting a rug at 90, with or without the tap shoes.
