energize your team

challenge your audience

create a lasting impact with your next event

Bring in a speaker who doesn’t just share a story and lessons — one who moves people to inspired action. Whitney Siders brings the boldness that leaders are craving.

With over a decade of on the ground experience working with leaders and teams from varying industries, Whitney delivers keynotes, workshops, and tailored sessions that leave attendees inspired and rethinking what’s possible.

"You built trust fast to help people 'go there.' You were able to spot things I couldn't see and guide people along faster than I could."

You Don’t Have a People Problem. You Have a Clarity Problem. Here's How We Help:

Miscommunication. Slow hires. Teams spinning their wheels. Whitney helps executive teams move faster, work better, and actually trust each other. This is where The Modern comes in.

DNA Assessments for Hiring & Team Mapping

Stop hiring based on resumes and gut feel. Get behavior-backed clarity on who you’re bringing in — and how your team is wired to work (or clash).

Team Development via Behavioral Assessments

Real team development starts with data.

Build trust, improve communication, and remove friction using tools that go deeper than another “fun offsite.”

Experiences from Leadership Offsites

One day. Big reset. Fast alignment.

Facilitated sessions that get the real issues on the table — and your leadership rowing in the same direction.

Why Leaders Book Whitney

You don’t need another polished presentation.

You need someone who has seen the inside of hundreds of teams across the country. Someone who has starred death in the face and rebounded to share her lessons learned. Someone who can read the room, challenge assumptions, and hold space for creation, even in the toughest of moments.

Whitney’s speaking style blends fearless honesty with grounded empathy. She brings behavioral insight, leadership expertise, and real-life experience to every engagement, so your audience walks away with fresh perspective and practical tools they can apply immediately.
