Selling as a Survival Skill
The Most Human Skill in an AI-Driven World
Makeda Boehm didn’t learn sales in theory — she used it to build her family’s freedom. From commission checks to mortgage-free land, in only 4 years she earned over $1M in tech while raising two kids.
In this powerful talk, Makeda reframes sales as something sacred — not a performance, but a transfer of clarity, truth, and value. Whether you’re pitching investors, advocating for yourself at work, or turning your lived knowledge into income, sales is the skill that unlocks sovereignty.
She also shows how AI can accelerate this process — not by replacing real connection, but by supporting it. With the right tools and strategy, anyone can sell with alignment.
This talk equips creators, teams, and leaders to:
See sales as a form of service, not pressure
Communicate their worth with confidence
Use AI to rehearse, refine, and scale their message
Transform fear of rejection into clarity and conviction
Ideal For:
Sales kickoffs · Tech conferences · Creator economy events · Entrepreneur summits · Career reinvention programs · Women & working parent forums

Caregiving as Strategy
Redesigning Work Through the Lens of Lived Experience
43% of highly qualified women leave the workforce after becoming mothers. At the same time, eldercare is escalating into the next global economic crisis—impacting employees across generations.
Caregiving isn’t a gap — it’s a masterclass in systems thinking.
From newborns to aging parents, millions navigate care responsibilities while managing households, careers, and businesses. In this talk, Makeda reframes caregiving as a strategic advantage, not a setback — one that teaches time management, adaptability, problem-solving, and decision-making under pressure.
Drawing from her experience as a mother, breadwinner, and business builder, she makes the case that caregiving is a real-world leadership incubator — and that recognizing these skills is essential for building teams, companies, and cultures that actually work.
Ideal For:
Women’s leadership programs · Executive roundtables · Future of work summits · Culture-forward companies and conferences
Sovereignty is not a Luxury
When Rest Isn’t Promised
In a world where women — especially Black women — are expected to work through recovery, caregiving, and even grief, the promise of rest at retirement is no longer enough. In this powerful talk, Makeda Boehm shares her personal story of going from homelessness to earning $1M in tech sales, only to realize that high income doesn’t equal freedom.
She makes the urgent case for sovereignty as infrastructure — and shows how we must design economic systems that adapt to life’s interruptions, not punish us for them. This talk is a wake-up call for organizations and individuals seeking resilience in the age of caregiving, AI, and economic inequality.
Ideal For:
Corporate wellness events · Women’s leadership conferences · Future of work forums · Maternal health summits
