About Braden Eads
I have been on a stage in some form since I was 14.
I sang with the Tabernacle Choir on Temple Square and performed lead roles in stage productions. I studied industrial and organizational psychology, then earned my MBA at the University of Utah. For the last decade I have led customer success teams at fast-growing companies, where I learned the same lesson over and over, in boardrooms and in front of audiences: the work of any organization is human work, and human work runs on connection.
That is the through-line in everything I bring to a stage. Whether I am opening a conference for a Fortune 500 leadership team or closing a youth summit with a song and a story, I am after the same thing. I want the room to leave with their walls a little lower, their courage a little louder, and a clear next step they can actually use on Monday.
I live in Colorado with my wife and our young kids. When I am not speaking or working, I am usually lifting heavy things, walking the dog, or losing to my children at a game they invented thirty seconds ago.
If you are looking for a speaker who will treat your audience like real people and leave them better than he found them, I would love to hear from you.

How is Braden Eads Different?
· He Has Actually Done the Work ·
Most speakers talk about connection from the outside. Braden spent a decade leading customer success teams, where keeping people engaged was his actual job, not his keynote topic. He brings what worked in the room, not just theory from a book.
· Psychology, Not Platitudes ·
Braden studied industrial and organizational psychology before he ever stepped on a keynote stage. When he explains why a team is disconnected or why trust breaks down, it is grounded in how people actually work, not feel-good generalities.
· A Performer, Not a Presenter ·
Braden sang with the Tabernacle Choir and performed lead roles on stage long before he spoke at conferences. That training shows. He commands a room and uses music, story, and timing in a way most business speakers simply cannot.
· Built for Your Audience ·
Braden does not run the same canned talk everywhere. He learns your audience and your goals first, so a sales team, an HR conference, and a youth summit each get a version built for them.
