Mindy Vail is a leadership strategist and keynote speaker who helps organizations navigate change without losing their people or their minds.

With 25 years of experience across education, corporate leadership, and consulting, Mindy brings a rare blend of real-world operational insight and human-centered strategy. She’s worked inside organizations carrying the weight of change and alongside leadership teams tasked with executing it, when calendars are full, pressure is high, and AI is already embedded in the workflow.

Her work zeroes in on what actually moves change forward: clearer decisions, stronger alignment, psychological safety, and leadership behaviors that hold up when people are tired and under pressure. Grounded in change management and behavioral science, Mindy connects data, human behavior, and lived experience to help leaders understand not just what needs to change but why it’s hard and how to move through it.

Mindy’s sessions are practical, interactive, and refreshingly honest. She brings levity to work that doesn’t need to be so heavy, while still tackling the hard realities of resistance, accountability, trust, and the gap between strategy and execution. Audiences leave with language, clarity, and tools they can use immediately without the usual “great idea, now what?” hangover.

Outside the keynote stage, Mindy consults with organizations across the private sector, higher education, and municipal government, helping leadership teams build cultures that perform, adapt, and endure, long after the slide deck is closed.
