The host who makes the room finally talk.
Tricia Benn is a former Fortune 1000 Global CMO and the CEO of C-Suite Network. Book her for the rare combination event audiences actually want — a keynote built around real frameworks, and a moderator who knows how to get a room of executives to stop performing.
Keynote · Selling Power Sales 2.0
A keynote speaker who can moderate. A moderator who can keynote.
Most speaker rosters force you to choose. Hire a keynote and you get a stage performer. Hire a moderator and you get a conversation manager. Tricia is one of the few who does both — and the reason event organizers tend to rebook her is that audiences experience what's possible when those skills live in the same person.
Two decades inside Fortune 1000 leadership. A decade running the Hero Club's most candid C-suite rooms. She's been on both sides of the table — making decisions that move billion-dollar holding companies, and asking the questions that get other CEOs to admit what they're actually grappling with. Your audience benefits from the synthesis.
Every engagement is tailored to the room. None of them are templated.
The Hero Factor.
Tricia's keynote framework, distilled from twenty years inside the C-suite. A way of measuring leadership success not just by the numbers — but by the integrity, transparency, and collaboration of how those numbers got made. It's the through-line of every talk, panel, and workshop she takes on.
Integrity
Doing the right thing when no one's watching, even when it costs the quarter. The leadership decisions you'd be willing to read on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.
Transparency
Sharing the hard truths inside the org so the team can actually solve them — instead of stage-managing communications until the problem becomes everyone's problem.
Collaboration
Treating leadership as something earned in conversation, not announced from above. The willingness to be wrong in front of your team so the team can be right with you.
In sharing my own humanity, I created a more trusting work environment where my team could share, build, and innovate. Tricia Benn · Authority Magazine
Four ways to book her.
Keynote · The Hero Factor
Tricia's flagship talk — customized to your audience and theme — built around the Hero Factor framework. She uses real cases from inside the C-Suite Network membership, weaves in audience-driven moments, and leaves the room with takeaways executives can apply on Monday.
Moderation · Panels & fireside chats
Tricia leads conversations between two-to-six panelists or one-on-one fireside formats. She pre-calls every speaker to find the conversation they actually want to have, then leads with the questions other moderators won't ask. The room gets the unfiltered exchange it came for.
Hosting · Conferences & summits
Tricia hosts the entire event: opens the day, threads transitions between speakers, MCs the schedule, leads on-camera or live interviews, closes with a real synthesis. Audience energy stays high. Organizer stress goes down. She's done this at hundreds of events.
Workshop · Closed-door C-suite
Highly facilitated small-group format (8–30 executives). Tricia leads peer dialogue around trust and community as a competitive advantage, with applied frameworks each participant takes back to their leadership team. It looks less like a workshop and more like the Hero Club retreats she runs.
