Keren Eldad is an acclaimed motivational speaker, leadership psychology expert, and founder of With Enthusiasm, where she provides world-class personal and professional coaching. 

Before becoming an internationally-recognized coach, Keren had an illustrious business career. After spending years in the world of publishing, she then founded her own marketing company, Digiluxe. Despite all of this, Keren never felt fulfilled and aligned with her purpose.  It wasn’t until she hit rock bottom after a divorce, running out of money, and losing her job that she learned how to cultivate self-worth and step into her true essence and power. She believes that we should all be welcoming adversity because of the rich lessons it brings if we are simply willing to look.  

Keren has worked with notable clients like LVMH, Richemont, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan Chase, and Global Fashion Group, as well as several high-profile private clients.

We’ll talk to Keren about why it’s in all of our destinies to achieve greatness, the power of self-love and compassion, and what we can do to get over our blindspots. As Keren highlights, if we keep limiting ourselves, we do not get to participate in the beauty of life and it’s up to us to view life through a lens of scarcity and fear or abundance and openness.
