Across industries, organizations are facing what Dr. Samantha Harte calls soul sickness — a widespread emotional burnout that drains creativity, erodes trust, and weakens performance. The modern workplace is running on empty, and the cost is measurable. Research shows that cultures with high emotional safety outperform peers by 30% in innovation and 27% in retention.

In this story-driven and evidence-based keynote, Dr. Harte redefines Emotional ROI as the truest measure of organizational success — one rooted not in capital, but in connection. She introduces The CURE, a four-part framework designed to restore emotional wellbeing to the center of corporate culture: Compassionate Curiosity, Understanding, Radical Responsibility, and Empathy.

A doctor of physical therapy turned corporate wellbeing strategist, Dr. Harte draws from science, storytelling, and her own journey of emotional sobriety to teach leaders how to diagnose the emotional health of their teams — and implement practical, lasting change. She bridges the gap between human behavior and business performance, proving that empathy is not a soft skill, but a strategic asset.
