Amber Cabral is a leadership strategist, TED speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host who transforms how organizations approach leadership, communication, and culture.

Her distinctive blend of corporate experience and human-centered methodologies has made her a trusted partner to companies like Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Amazon, Medtronic, and American Airlines, where she addresses fundamental challenges in psychological safety, high-stakes decision-making, and sustainable leadership practices.

Her leadership philosophy emerged from over a decade in corporate environments, including her tenure at Walmart, where she led initiatives in organizational development and culture transformation. This firsthand experience revealed the gap between traditional leadership approaches and innovative approaches to organizational success, inspiring her transition to consulting.

She now guides organizations—from agile startups to Fortune 500 enterprises—in building cultures where accountability, connection, and growth flourish naturally.

Amber's bestselling books, *Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Culture* (Wiley, 2020) and *Say More About That: And Other Ways to Speak Up, Push Back, and Advocate for Yourself and Others* (Wiley, 2022), offer concrete frameworks for navigating crucial conversations and creating environments where people thrive.

Her TED Talk, *3 Steps to Better Connect with Your Fellow Humans*, has catalyzed global discussions about authentic connection and collective growth. Her insights regularly appear in *Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, MSNBC*, and *The Washington Post*.

The impact of her TED Talk led to the development of Human(ing) Well, a comprehensive approach that integrates personal well-being with professional excellence. This framework addresses the full spectrum of leadership challenges, from strategic decision-making to building genuine connections.

In 2025, she expanded this work through the *Human(ing) Well* podcast, where she explores how to break free from limiting patterns and live with intention.

With a master's degree in Organizational Leadership, Amber brings academic rigor to practical application, helping leaders navigate complex challenges while building sustainable, dynamic cultures. Beyond her corporate work, she serves as Chair of Brown Girls Do Ballet, expanding access to classical ballet training.

At the heart of Amber's work lies a clear mission: teaching people how to be good humans. Through keynotes, workshops, writing, and her podcast, she challenges conventional thinking about leadership while equipping organizations with tools to build resilient, high-performing teams. Her approach combines strategic insight with genuine humanity, fostering workplaces where both people and businesses flourish.

Why Invite Amber Cabral as a Guest?

Hi, I’m Amber Cabral. I help people lead, communicate, and human better, especially when the stakes are high. I’ve worked with global brands like Apple, Amazon, and Salesforce, bringing over two decades of experience in helping leaders build resilience, speak with clarity, and create cultures where people and performance thrive. What makes me a great guest is my ability to turn complex, uncomfortable topics into conversations that feel honest, useful, and even a little fun. I use real-world stories, actionable frameworks, and a touch of humor to help audiences reflect and grow without feeling judged. I’ve spoken on TED stages, trained over 200,000 leaders, and written two bestselling books that are helping teams navigate burnout, conflict, and connection. My work is all about giving people the language and courage to speak up, set boundaries, and lead with empathy. Whether your audience is navigating change, struggling to communicate, or just trying to stay human at work, I’ll leave them with insights they can actually use—and maybe a few moments they’ll laugh or cry about later. Either way, we’re going to keep it real.
