Keynote  
Program  
When life knocks us down, our instinct is often to pull inward: to isolate, to suffer quietly, to protect everyone else from our pain. In this heartfelt session, Maile Alau speaks to the pilina that carried her through the most challenging parts of her life. As an organizational development practitioner, she’s seen pilina at work on teams as the foundation that real productivity is built on. By sharing her own story, Maile shows all of us how the same connection that holds people up also holds teams together. This program is designed for all levels of participants, and can be adapted to meet the needs of specific audiences. As a breakout session, this speech is highly interactive and designed for deep reflection. Key takeaways include: - Identifying your "pilina ecosystem" - Approaching conversations with pilina as a foundation -Utilizing a pilina framework that makes the learning applicable and practical

Deep Connection. Deeper Learning. Meaningful Growth.

Connection changes what’s possible. I help audiences discover how deeper connection—to themselves, to one another, and to purpose—creates the conditions for better learning, stronger leadership, and meaningful growth. Grounded in pilina and brought to life through storytelling, humor, and practical insight, my keynotes don’t just give people something to think about. They give them a different way to show up.
