The Connector Method™: How to Turn Lived Experience Into Leverage in the Age of AI
Makeda Boehm didn’t just beat the odds — she built a methodology from them.
In six years, she went from housing insecurity to closing nearly $10M in enterprise sales, earning nearly $1M in commissions, and building a 10-acre mortgage-free homestead — all while navigating corporate pressure, motherhood, and grief. She didn’t do it by chasing shortcuts or over-identifying with struggle. She did it by connecting what she knew to what she needed, over and over again.
This keynote introduces The Connector Method™ — a transformative framework for turning lived experience into strategy. Makeda shows how the very skills people tend to overlook — resourcefulness, adaptability, discernment — are the foundation of modern leadership. And how AI — when used with discernment — becomes an equalizer, democratizing access to insight, opportunity, and infrastructure.
Makeda challenges audiences to stop chasing more information, and instead learn how to connect the right insight to the right action at the right time — personally, professionally, and organizationally.
