Leadership Trainer, Speaker Coach & One of Amazon's First Accredited EI Trainers
Stephanie Tranquille is a leadership trainer, speaker coach and emotional intelligence expert with more than 25 years of experience. During her tenure at Amazon she was one of the company's first accredited emotional intelligence trainers, managed 10 flagship AWS events that engaged over 20,000 attendees, spearheaded the Sales Kickoff attendee experience for an audience of 50,000, and created the Amazon Ads Speaker Program. That combination gives her rare credibility in the conversation about what it means to lead well in the age of artificial intelligence.
Stephanie's work is grounded in a simple but powerful conviction: that as AI takes on more of the technical work, the distinctly human skills — empathy, self-awareness, communication, resilience — become more valuable, not less. She helps leaders and organisations understand this shift and build the emotional intelligence capability they need in a world where technology is omnipresent and human connection is at a premium.
She now runs SpeakerStephSpeak, a platform dedicated to coaching, mentoring and delivering keynotes globally, and has delivered emotional intelligence keynotes and workshops to more than 25,000 participants worldwide. Her presentations are energetic, evidence-based and deeply practical — leaving audiences with tools they can apply from the first day back at work. She suits leadership summits, conferences and professional development programs where the brief is human capability rather than technical training.
Stephanie Tranquille is a keynote speaker based in Victoria who speaks on artificial intelligence, innovation and leadership. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
High-pressure situations are where your emotional intelligence matters most. This talk gives you the tools to regulate emotions, stay calm, and communicate with confidence, even in the toughest moments. Whether it’s stepping onto a stage, having a crucial conversation, or navigating a personal challenge, you’ll leave with practical strategies to shine when it counts.
As AI takes over more tasks, what sets us apart isn’t how smart we are—it’s how emotionally connected we are. This session explores the essential role of emotional intelligence in an AI-driven world and how skills like empathy, self-awareness, and authentic communication can help you build trust, navigate change, and stand out in your career. Drawing from my experience, including a feature on NAB’s podcast discussing emotional intelligence in the workforce, I’ll share insights and strategies to lead with heart in a tech-dominated era.
"The Communicator's Mindset" combines insights from a world-class speaker and master storyteller to reveal the mental frameworks, emotional intelligence, and techniques behind impactful communication. This talk explores how clarity, empathy, and adaptability drive authentic connection, while also highlighting the importance of communication styles, body language, and visual cues. Drawing on years of global speaking experience, it offers actionable strategies to craft compelling narratives, build trust, and engage audiences, making every interaction meaningful and memorable.
Stories don’t just share information - they create connection, inspire action, and make people care. This session dives into how you can pair emotional intelligence with storytelling to deliver messages that truly resonate. Whether you’re presenting on stage or influencing a team, this talk will equip you with the tools to create impactful narratives that stick.
Steph is one of the most well-spoken and knowledgeable persons when it comes to management with an EQ and DEIB lense. She’s relatable, engaging, energizing and vulnerable.

I strongly believe that Emotional Intelligence is the number one skill for the current and coming times, and it is not just a soft but infact an important commercial skill. Stephanie does absolute justice to this topic and can connect with ease with large groups. Stephanie brings energy and genuine authenticity to the subject matter rich with lots of personal anecdotes and learnings blended with academic insights. When considering team development through stand-alone sessions or keynote at conferences Stephanie is a really good person to reach out to.Head of Zurich Assure
