Meet Peggy Sullivan

Peggy is a keynote speaker, author, consultant, and trusted researcher.

Through her work, she has discovered why busyness is so detrimental to our health, happiness, and success.

Now she’s bringing her proven solution for escaping the busyness trap to keynote stages around the world with her signature blend of humor, heart, and honesty.

As one of the most authentic and energizing new voices in the speaking world, Peggy Sullivan is on a mission to change the way we value our time and ourselves.

In a world that sees busyness as a badge of honor, Peggy has conducted in-depth research that exposes the truth: our packed-to-the-rafters schedules can actually make us less productive, less happy, and less capable of fulfilling our dreams.

Peggy has made it her life’s work to lead audiences to the sweet spot beyond busyness, through speaking engagements, consulting, authoring the book Happiness is Your Responsibility, and founding the nonprofit organization SheCAN! Peggy and her message have been featured on Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Forbes, and she’s been awarded the Marketing 2.0 Outstanding Leadership Award and New York’s 2019 Woman in Leadership Award.
