Book IWD Speaker: Liz McMillan

Empowering women to turn alignment into their most powerful strategic advantage - leading with clarity, conviction & confidence

Liz McMillan is a two-time CEO,  Executive Advisor & Leadership Strategist and Keynote Speaker. She is a leading voice on alignment and reciprocity in modern leadership. After two decades transforming technology, publishing, and SaaS companies across Silicon Valley and Australia, Liz brings a rare blend of strategic precision and human depth to the stage.

Liz teaches that alignment is the architecture behind meaningful reciprocity - the kind of giving that multiplies value rather than depleting it. When women align purpose, values, and goals, they don’t just succeed personally; they create momentum, opportunity, and uplift for everyone around them. Alignment becomes the engine that turns giving into gaining - for individuals, teams, organisations, and communities.

In her talks, Liz reframes success through the lens of mutual rise. She shows women how to lead with clarity, conviction, and confidence while building the structures that make generosity sustainable and impactful. Her stories are honest and resonant, her insights instantly usable, and her message deeply aligned with this year’s IWD theme: giving is not subtraction - it’s intentional multiplication.

Audiences will learn how to:
- Recognise how misalignment erodes reciprocity, trust, and opportunity - and how to rebuild it.
- Use alignment as a structural advantage that amplifies impact, influence, and collective success.
- Give in ways that strengthen confidence, capacity, and connection rather than draining them.
- Lead with clarity and conviction so that what they give generates meaningful return - for themselves and others.
- Build cultures where women’s advancement fuels organisational performance, innovation, and resilience.
- Harness the compounding effect of aligned reciprocity to create lasting value across teams and communities.

Event organisers choose Liz because she leaves women inspired, grounded, and equipped - ready to lead in a way that elevates others and expands what’s possible. When women thrive, we all rise.
