📅 Thursday, October 15, 10:30 AM – 11:45 AM

Transformation Expert | Unapologetic Truth-Teller | Creator of the Rise Through Itâ„¢ Framework

Rashmi Airan is a transformation expert, keynote speaker, and unapologetic truth-teller who helps leaders break free from the mental prisons that limit growth. These invisible cages-assumptions, cultural norms, ego, and fear-shape decisions and keep individuals and organizations stuck. Through her RISE THROUGH ITâ„¢ FRAMEWORK, Rashmi equips audiences to dismantle those barriers and turn struggle into clarity, resilience, and authentic leadership.

Her own journey, from Ivy League lawyer and Wall Street deal maker to federal prison and back, revealed the cost of blind spots and unexamined rules. That reckoning became her blueprint for helping others. With over 30 years of experience in law, business, and finance, Rashmi speaks with raw honesty about resilience, ethical decision making, and the courage to evolve. She has inspired leaders at Coca-Cola, Merck, Cardinal Health, Comcast, Sotheby's, and Hershey's, and her story has been featured by ABC, PBS, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal.

Beyond the stage, Rashmi is a proud mother of two, a community leader, and an adventurer at heart who believes the greatest possibilities appear when we rise through both external struggles and the prisons within our own minds.
