PUBLIC SPEAKING, KEYNOTES & TRAINING
IncuBrighter's founder Leah Buzek brings a rare combination to every stage and training room: deep practitioner experience, original research, and a commitment to keeping lived experience at the center of every conversation. Whether you're looking for a conference keynote, a custom staff training, or a full professional development series, Leah delivers sessions that are engaging, evidence-informed, and immediately applicable.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Leah's speaking and training work is grounded in her own lived experience as a former caregiver for a multi-systems-involved youth, her practitioner background in family peer support, and the original frameworks she developed — TRACEs (Trauma and Relational Adversity in Caregiving Environments) and EPIC (the Lived Experience Integration Method).
Every session is designed to do more than inform — it's designed to shift perspective, open dialogue, and give participants concrete frameworks they can carry into their work the next day. Leah is available for keynotes, panel presentations, half-day and full-day workshops, multi-session training series, and customized staff or leadership development.
