Daphne Palmer Geanacopoulos Speaking Topics

  • Resilience, Resourcefulness and Survival: Inspiring Lessons from an 18th Century Pirate’s Wife, Sarah Kidd.

    Captain Kidd was one of the most notorious pirates to ever prowl the seas. But few know that Kidd had an accomplice, a behind-the-scenes player who enabled his plundering and helped him outpace his enemies. That accomplice was his wife, Sarah Kidd, a well-to-do woman whose extraordinary life is a lesson in reinvention and resourcefulness. Twice widowed by twenty-one and operating within the strictures of polite society in seventeenth• and eighteenth-century New York, Sarah secretly aided and abetted her husband, fighting alongside him against his accusers. More remarkable still was that Sarah not only survived the tragedy wrought by her infamous husband’s deeds but went on to live a successful and productive life as one of New York’s most prominent citizens.

    Attendee Results:

    • Learn the research process of how the extraordinary life of Sarah Kidd was reconstructed to give a rare example of the kind of life that pirate wives lived during the Golden Age of Piracy.
    • Understand how one woman with resilience, strength and determination transformed from a New York socialite to international outlaw and then regained her agency against all odds to flourish in New York society.
    • Experience a compelling true story of love, treasure, motherhood and survival.
    • Be inspired to do your own historical research and find your own personal or historical treasures.

  • Mental Health, Resilience & Happiness

    What's Beyond Happiness?

    Since the world hit reset in 2020, people have been asking:

    • What are the things most important to me?
    • Am I living an authentic life that’s true to myself and not what others expect of me?

    How do I know if I’m spending the minutes of my day meaningfully? Whether you lead a company, teams, or your own work & life, it is time to get to the core of who you are, live the purposeful life you want, and ripple your impact to people in your business and beyond.

    This session shares why it’s time to redefine happiness, the role that life’s highs and lows play, and how we are more resilient when we live with happiness and humanity. Define what it means to take care of your greenhouse as you grow others, and embrace the new concept of the double ROI — return on investment and ripple of impact.

    When we apply the learnings from Beyond Happiness, we wake up knowing, regardless of what bad news might be in the headlines that day, that we’re grounded in our internal worlds. That we’re putting our time and talents to the best use, in service of ourselves and everyone we touch in our ecosystems.

  • How Leaders Innovate: Capture the Potential of Your Human Experience

    Leadership Development, Technology Adoption & Motivation

    We live in a world of exponential growth and accelerating change. Changing ourselves and our businesses is more necessary than ever. In this provocative talk, you can see your leadership potential and how it's directly tied to putting yourself on the line for the benefit of those you lead.

Leaders of companies of any size can embrace the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as robots, IoT and AI, and create something completely new without losing who they are in the process.

    Attendee Results:

    • Learn how using discomfort can lead to innovative thinking and breakthrough ideas.
    • Understand the critical role our own discomfort plays in our business success (or lack thereof).
    • Experience what the human experience is by means of a moving and powerful example.
    • Learn the methodology behind using constraints, hardships, and problems as circumstances to be embraced as our access to innovation.
    • Develop an ecology of people who create big goals, allowing for and even forcing actions that were previously unthinkable.
