Book Tracy

Conversations that create connection.

Talks that move people.

Tracy Dando is a sought-after speaker on mental health, emotional intelligence, and workplace culture. Her talks blend lived experience, research-backed insight, and a gift for making complex topics deeply human.

I’ve spent the past decade speaking to audiences ranging from high school students to corporate leadership teams. My goal is always the same: to create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow.

Whether I’m keynoting a conference, leading a wellness retreat, or guiding a leadership team through emotional intelligence training, I approach every talk with heart, honesty, and the belief that mental health is everyone’s business.

Book Tracy to Speak

Signature Talks

The Canary in the Coalmine: Mental Health in the Workplace

Originally delivered as a TEDx talk, this keynote explores how burnout, silence, and emotional culture shape our work environments—often before anyone realizes it. Tracy shares personal insights and practical tools for recognizing warning signs and cultivating cultures of care, clarity, and connection.

Ideal for: Corporate leadership, HR professionals, wellness conferences

Creating Emotionally Safe Workspaces

What does true emotional safety look like—and how do we create it beyond surface-level wellness programs? This session challenges attendees to examine power, trust, and communication patterns, offering trauma-informed strategies to transform workplace dynamics and deepen team engagement.

Ideal for: Managers, DEI teams, mental health advocates

Body Image, Recovery & Resilience

This vulnerable and empowering talk blends lived experience with evidence-based practices to unpack body image, recovery, and identity. Tracy shares what it means to heal in a world that constantly disconnects us from ourselves—and how we can support others through that process with empathy and respect.

Ideal for: Healthcare teams, educators, recovery specialists, youth organizations

Women, Empowerment, and Growth: Reclaiming Space & Voice

This session is a rallying call for women navigating burnout, self-doubt, and the pressures of “having it all.” Through story, strategy, and soulful reflection, Tracy invites women to step into their truth, power, and emotional intelligence as leaders in every arena of life.

Ideal for: Women’s leadership events, empowerment summits, mentorship programs

Creating Safety in Uncertain Spaces

From schools to boardrooms, creating true safety—emotional, psychological, and interpersonal—is a radical act of leadership. Tracy guides audiences through how to show up in spaces that don’t always feel safe, and how to be the safety for others when it matters most.

Ideal for: Educators, nonprofit teams, peer support leaders, faith-based and community orgs
