She breaks down how organizations can operationalize well-being through leadership modeling, culture design, and strategy alignment. From boardrooms to remote teams, Adrienne reveals how health and high performance go hand in hand.
This keynote is ideal for leadership retreats, HR summits, and company offsites where people and performance must align.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Dr. Adrienne Leussa, widely known as The Embodiment Speaker, is a biochemist, leadership strategist, and human performance expert working at the intersection of biology and high-performance leadership. Originally from Cameroon, her journey began with a deep curiosity about human potential and the science behind resilience and transformation. She earned a PhD in Biochemistry, conducted advanced research in infectious diseases and nanotechnology, and later transitioned into commercial leadership, biotech innovation, and executive development.
As Founder of Supercharged Humans®, Dr. Leussa helps high-achieving leaders strengthen decision-making, presence, and sustainable performance by addressing a critical but overlooked factor: embodiment. She teaches that leadership performance is physiological before it is behavioral. Chronic stress elevates cortisol, impairs executive function, fragments attention, and drives reactive leadership patterns. Without biological alignment, clarity and sustained performance decline.
Dr. Adrienne Leussa, known as “The Embodiment Speaker,” is a biochemist, leadership strategist, and human performance expert working at the intersection of science, biology, and high-performance leadership. Her journey began in Cameroon, shaped by an early fascination with human potential and a determination to rise beyond limitation.
That pursuit led her to earn a PhD in Biochemistry, conduct advanced research in infectious diseases and nanotechnology, and later transition into commercial leadership, consulting, and executive development. As Founder of Supercharged Humans®, Dr. Leussa helps high-achieving leaders think clearer, lead stronger, and perform at their peak by addressing what most leadership development overlooks: embodiment, the alignment between internal state and external leadership demands.
When that alignment is compromised, decision quality declines, presence weakens, and sustained performance becomes difficult. By integrating neuroscience, stress physiology, energy optimisation, and embodied leadership frameworks, she equips leaders to operate from clarity rather than overload.
Adrienne Leussa work includes leading scientific initiatives across Africa, partnering with global biotech companies, consulting within innovation ecosystems, building NifuBio, advising diagnostics partners, publishing research, and delivering transformational leadership and performance programs across industries.

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
Virtual speaking appearances can indeed offer cost savings compared to in-person events. Virtual speaking rates are often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates due to factors such as reduced travel expenses and logistics. This makes virtual events a cost-effective alternative for organizations looking to book speakers within a budget.
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties.
