LET'S CONNECT
If you’re looking for a speaker who does more than inspire for an hour—someone who sparks lasting transformation in how people lead, work, and live—you’re in the right place.
I’m Mandy Balak—author of Chasing Enough (Spring 2026), leadership coach to high-achievers, and President of The Gathering Festival, an Award-winning brand event with 20% YoY growth. For over 15 years, I’ve been at the intersection of entrepreneurship, leadership, and well-being—helping people build businesses and lives that don’t burn them out.
I bring a unique blend of real-world business expertise (3 exits, scaling companies to millions, leading global teams) and transformational coaching (trauma-informed, somatic, and strategic). My talks don’t just motivate—they give leaders and teams the frameworks and tools to thrive under pressure without sacrificing themselves in the process.
