Here’s a modern paradox: We’ve never had more ways to communicate, yet we’ve never been more disconnected. We’re drowning in information but starving for meaning.

Companies of just 100 people spend about 17 hours a week clarifying unclear communication, while unnecessary notifications, messages, and meetings waste a total of 25 billion hours of work each year according to Atlassian research. And the financial impact? a $1.2 trillion productivity drain in the US alone.

We’re burning time and energy on communication that isn’t moving the needle. It’s the embodiment of Groucho Marx’s brilliant observation: “The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it happened.”

In this meaningful keynote, renowned leadership expert Holly Ransom shares how to break through the noise and communicate in ways that drive connection, clarity, and action. Drawing on cutting-edge research, real-world case studies, and her exclusive Mattering Matrix, Holly helps leaders navigate the attention economy, authenticity overload, and purpose fatigue—replacing noise with signal.
