KeyNote

We live in a world that prizes logic—but runs on emotion.
While we’re trained to optimize productivity, what truly drives performance isn’t efficiency—it’s emotional connection. In today’s workplaces and relationships, the difference between buy-in and burnout, between collaboration and conflict, lies in our ability to connect, communicate, and co-regulate.
In her keynote talks, Qi Zhai-McCartney—former investment researcher turned psychotherapist—challenges audiences to rethink the underpinnings of modern success. Drawing from Wall Street and the therapy room, she explores how relational skills are no longer soft skills—they’re survival skills. Audiences walk away not just with insight, but with the clarity and courage to lead and live more humanly.
