Willing to travel for an event.
Willing to talk for nonprofit.
I am an experienced keynote speaker, facilitator, and panel moderator working at the intersection of systemic oppression, organizational development, and social change. My work focuses on understanding power without alienation or dogma.
I make challenging topics accessible by grounding them in lived experience, concrete examples, and storytelling. Rather than prescribing ideology, I invite audiences into reflection—connecting personal insight to structural realities so deeper truths can emerge.
My speaking style is direct, engaging, and collaborative, creating space for curiosity, discomfort, and practical movement forward.
Molly Stenzel brings an interdisciplinary perspective shaped by studies in fine arts to athletics to public administration. Her career spans successful self-employment (elsewhere known as entrepreneurship), executive leadership, and consulting, working across private and technology sectors, as well as with grass-roots nonprofits and UN Organizations. Having collaborated with organizations in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and the United States, she translates complex ideas across disciplines, cultures, and systems to support meaningful and practical change.
