Kerry Barrett is a TEDx and keynote speaker and Emmy Award–winning broadcaster whose work challenges the widely held belief that confidence must come before action.
After decades of live television and high-stakes public performance, Kerry observed that confidence is unreliable even for capable, experienced people — yet performance is still required. Her work reframes fear as information rather than instruction and focuses on how people function under real conditions, without waiting to “feel ready.”
Her signature keynote, The Confidence Lie, offers a grounded, experience-based perspective on performance, visibility, and hesitation that resonates across industries. This is not motivation or mindset training; it is a clear, practical reframing that removes blame from the individual and corrects the faulty sequencing behind most confidence advice.
Kerry speaks at corporate events, conferences, and professional gatherings, delivering thoughtful, intellectually rigorous keynotes that audiences remember long after the room clears.
