Fees, videos & availability inside." canonical: https://www.kmprod.com/speakers/mandy-gill updated: 2026-08-20 16:13:55 --- # Mandy Gill *Resilience Keynote Speaker & CEO, Entrepreneur* ## Biography Mandy Gill built and scaled *Hooked on Healthy Habits*, one of the world's most effective behavior-change apps — and in doing so, amassed one of the largest datasets anywhere on goal-setting, resilience, and what actually drives people to hit extraordinary results. Over 10,000 clients later, she's turned that research, plus her own extreme-endurance career, into keynotes that help leaders and teams stop just surviving disruption and start using it as a competitive edge. Her credibility isn't borrowed — it's earned in the field. Mandy has trained for and raced 100+ kilometer ultra-marathons with over 20,000 feet of elevation gain, and climbed some of the tallest peaks in Nepal and beyond. She uses those experiences to draw sharp, specific parallels between life-or-death judgment calls in the mountains and the high-stakes calls leaders make every day — parallels that have resonated with organizations as different as the *US Navy, adidas, TD Bank*, and *Manulife*. Before resilience became her business, broadcasting was. Mandy built a career as a media personality, landing interviews with **Lady Gaga** and **Rihanna** along the way — experience that still shows up in how naturally she reads and holds a room, regardless of industry or seniority level. She backs the stage presence with academic rigor: Mandy is a Harvard Leadership Program graduate and a two-time Women of Distinction Award nominee. She's also an active mentor and advocate for women's advancement, work she carries well beyond her keynotes. Her last book, *Reset with Resilience: A Guide to Greatness When Your Goals Go Sideways* (2025), hit bestseller status by packaging the same data-driven frameworks she delivers to Fortune 500 audiences into a practical playbook — turning her behavioral research and mountain-tested lessons into tools any team can use. From **C-suite executives** steering digital transformation to **frontline managers** holding teams together through change, Mandy's audiences trust her because her message is backed by both hard data and harder-won experience. ## Presentation Topics Mandy Gill travels from Vancouver, BC Canada. She offers a wide variety of different presentation formats including keynote presentations, workshops, fireside chats, moderated Q&A, on a wide variety of topics. Each presentation is unique, customized and tailored for audiences, industries, conferences and event formats. All of Mandy's programs can be delivered as a keynote (45 - 90 minutes) or as workshop (1.5 - 3 hours) ### Reset with Resilience: How to Reset Quickly and Turn Setbacks Into Forward Momentum In a world where priorities shift overnight and uncertainty shows up without warning, setbacks are no longer the exception - they’re part of everyday leadership. What separates high-performing teams from struggling ones isn’t the absence of adversity; it’s the ability to reset quickly and regain forward momentum. **This keynote gives audiences that reset method. ** Mandy built this framework the hard way — on Nepalese peaks where a bad decision has real consequences, and in the data. As founder of the behavior-change app *Hooked on Healthy Habits*, she's tracked over 10,000 client journeys, giving her a rare, evidence-backed answer to a question most leadership content only guesses at: why do capable people stall out under pressure, and what specifically gets them moving again? Those findings became the backbone of her bestselling book, *Reset with Resilience*. Blending science with lived experience from extreme environments, Mandy teaches a practical reset framework that helps individuals and teams move from discouraged to back-in-motion - no matter what comes their way. **Audiences don’t just leave inspired - they’ll leave equipped, knowing how to reset fast and convert setbacks into forward momentum.** This keynote leaves attendees with: - a repeatable reset method grounded in research and real-world performance - tools to transform setbacks into for deeper clarity and better decisions - behavior-science strategies that reveal how to break old patterns and rebuild consistency - strategies to maintain focus even when motivation dips or plans fall apart - psychological flexibility enabling quicker, more confident adaptation - a renewed sense of agency shifting from “why is this happening?” To “here’s how i move forward.”   ### The Resilience Advantage: How to Lead with Confidence & Clarity Through Constant Change Today’s organizations are navigating nonstop change - shifting priorities, evolving expectations, and pressure that never seems to let up. Most people are expected to adapt quickly, stay focused, and perform through uncertainty…without the proper tools of how to. **This keynote turns resilience from concept into capability**  This keynote is built on Mandy's core thesis, proven out across a decade of coaching and 20,000+ feet of elevation gain: resilience isn't a personality trait some people are simply born with — it's a trainable skill, and she can show you the mechanics of how it's built. She pairs the split-second judgment calls required in extreme mountain environments with the Harvard Leadership Program frameworks and behavioral research she's applied to more than 10,000 clients, giving audiences a rare combination — lived-in credibility and a method that actually replicates. With her signature blend of grounded wisdom, lived experience, and research as a best selling author on resilience, Mandy provides audiences with tools that are both credible and immediately actionable. Mandy teaches people how to stay clear, calm, and effective when everything around them shifts. **Audiences learn exactly how to lead themselves and others with confidence and clarity through constant change** This keynote leaves attendees with: - a practical resilience system rooted in behavior science and real-world application. - Tools to stay grounded under pressure even when conditions shift without warning. - Decision-making strategies drawn from extreme-environment leadership. - A reset method to interrupt overwhelm and regain clarity quickly. - The ability to maintain momentum rather than lose progress during challenges. - A leadership mindset shift from reaction to intentional, confident action.  ### Hosting & MC-ing  Mandy has many years of experience **emceeing** and **hosting** large events thanks to her previous career as a top 40 Radio Morning Show Co-Host. She's introduced numerous artists to sold-out audiences, including **Rihanna** at her **Last Girl On Earth Tour**.  ## About Mandy Gill has completed 100+ kilometer ultra-marathons with 20,000 feet of elevation gain and summited some of Nepal's highest peaks — and she's spent over a decade turning that grit into a science-backed system for workplace resilience. As founder of the behavior-change app Hooked on Healthy Habits, she's coached 10,000+ clients and built one of the world's largest datasets on goal-setting and resilience under pressure. That combination — extreme endurance plus hard data — is what makes her keynotes land differently. Mandy Gill is also known for her trademark **RACE PACE™** — a data-backed performance and resilience framework rather than a piece of physical software or hardware technology. It is designed to help leaders and teams accelerate clarity, eliminate distractions, and manage stress. Mandy doesn't talk about resilience in the abstract. She shows leaders and teams exactly how the decision-making that keeps you alive on a mountain ridge translates to the boardroom, the factory floor, and the Zoom call — and gives them a repeatable method to reset fast when things go sideways. ## Expertise - [Resilience & Adversity](https://www.kmprod.com/topic/resiliency-speakers) - [Leadership Under Pressure](https://www.kmprod.com/topic/leadership-speakers) - [Change Management](https://www.kmprod.com/topic/change-management-speakers) - [Mental Health in the Workplace](https://www.kmprod.com/topic/mental-health-speakers) - [Mindset & Goal Accomplishment](https://www.kmprod.com/topic/peak-performance-speakers) - [Teamwork & Collaboration](https://www.kmprod.com/topic/teamwork-speakers) - [Women's Leadership](https://www.kmprod.com/topic/influential-women-speakers) - Ultra-Endurance Athlete - Bestselling Author, *Reset with Resilience* - Behavior-Change Data & Research (10,000+ clients) - Extreme-Environment Decision-Making - High-Performance Psychology - Harvard Leadership Program Graduate ## What Clients Say > What a great way to kick off the final conference day and boost motivation and inspiration for our own goal setting as we head back to the office and help clients reach their goals!
