The Emmy & Grammy Award-winning powerhouse transforming workplaces with joy, performance, and proven results.
ALISHA GADDIS
Your people don’t need another lecture.
They need an experience, something that makes them laugh, think, and shift. That’s where I come in.
I’m Alisha Gaddis: Emmy and multi-Grammy Award-winning performer, bestselling author, NYU alum with certifications from Harvard and Yale, Creative Business Leader in the Arts & Media, and Global Keynote Speaker.
I’ve starred on Broadway and at the Sydney Opera House, co-created an Emmy-winning PBS show, sold shows to Netflix and HGTV, and toured globally with my Grammy and Latin Grammy-winning band.
Unlike traditional speakers, I don’t deliver a lecture. I deliver an experience.
My sessions fuse Emmy-winning performance, Grammy-level artistry, and research-backed strategy into unforgettable events that entertain, inspire, and deliver measurable ROI.
But here’s what matters for you: every stage I step on, including yours, becomes a catalyst for change.
My sessions leave teams laughing, energized, and equipped with actionable tools that cut burnout, boost creativity, and drive measurable growth.
That’s why organizations from The Smithsonian to The Grammy Museum, Center Theatre Group to The Getty, universities to Fortune 500 companies, have trusted me with their audiences.
Why Joy & Wellbeing Drive Business Results
Joy isn’t a perk: it’s profit. The research is clear:
Profitability & engagement: Companies with highly engaged and happy employees see 17% higher productivity and 22% higher profitability compared to peers (Gallup).
Reduced attrition: Employees who enjoy their work are 49% less likely to consider leaving (Boston Consulting Group).
Productivity boosts: A one-point increase in employee happiness is tied to a 12% increase in productivity (Wellbeing Research Centre, Oxford).
Lower costs: Poor wellbeing leads to higher healthcare costs and more sick days, costing companies billions annually (Gallup, McKinsey).
Global ROI: Investing in wellbeing could add $11–12 trillion in value worldwide (McKinsey).
When you book me, your employees don’t just feel better. They perform better. That means stronger culture, higher retention, and real bottom-line growth.
