They walk out
impossible to rattle.
Clarette C. Farmer is an attorney and negotiation strategist who keynotes on how leaders — women especially — lead, negotiate, and decide under pressure. Not a motivational high: your audience leaves more composed, more commanding, and with one concrete tool they keep.
It sends it back to work changed.
Six talks. One identity-first throughline.
Each keynote is customized to your audience on a pre-event call. Available as a keynote, fireside chat, breakout workshop, or virtual session.
Lead Without Shrinking
Command any room as yourself — stop managing perception and lead from a grounded, unshakeable identity. Best for: women's networks, ERGs, women's leadership summits.
Composure Is a Competitive Advantage
The nervous-system science of staying clear and commanding under pressure — a trainable executive skill. Best for: finance, law, healthcare, leadership summits.
Most Leverage Isn't Taken — It's Surrendered
An attorney's negotiation masterclass: protect your value and win without burning the relationship. Best for: sales kickoffs, deal teams, finance & real estate.
From the Identity Up
A new model for developing leaders — why identity, not tactics, is the real ceiling. Best for: L&D, talent, and leadership-development audiences.
The Broken Rung Is a Leverage Problem
Reframes women's advancement as performance and succession — and gives women the leverage skills the data says they're penalized for. Best for: mixed leadership audiences, succession-focused execs.
Decide Like the Stakes Are High
How leaders make sound, fast calls under pressure instead of freezing, deferring, or spiraling. Best for: executive teams, founders, operations leaders.
Rooms where composure and leverage decide the outcome.
Corporate leadership summits & all-hands
Develop your leaders from the identity up — communication, composure, and decision-making that shows up in performance.
Women's networks & ERGs
Energize and equip your women leaders with real skills — framed as performance and succession, not a checkbox.
Sales kickoffs & revenue teams
Composure and leverage under pressure that protect margin and win the room — at the table and on the floor.
Association & industry conferences
A distinctive, credible keynote — attorney and negotiator — that isn't the same leadership talk they've heard ten times.
Executive offsites & boards
High-stakes decision-making and negotiation for the people whose calls carry the most risk.
Founder & entrepreneur events
Scale the company without burning out the founder — regulation, leverage, and the hard calls of building.
Presence you can feel.
A few minutes on stage — watch the reel.
