Keynote: The Outrage Cure with Dr. Alika Lafontaine

Anger and outrage are everywhere in today’s workplaces, communities, and institutions. They disrupt collaboration, strain relationships, and erode trust — but they also reveal something deeper: unmet needs, unresolved loss, and the breakdown of shared understanding. When left unaddressed, these emotional states can calcify into indifference, disengagement, and organizational decline.

In this keynote, inspired by the insights behind Dr. Alika Lafontaine’s forthcoming book The Outrage Cure, audiences explore how emotional turbulence emerges, why it escalates, and what it signals about the health of relationships and systems. Lafontaine introduces accessible frameworks that help leaders and teams interpret emotional tension not as a threat, but as a pathway to alignment.

Through lived experience, practical guidance, and real-world examples, this keynote illustrates how to create environments where people feel seen, heard, and safe enough to engage authentically. Participants learn how to navigate conflict with clarity, foster emotionally intelligent cultures, and transform distress into trust, accountability, and collective well-being — within organizations, systems, and themselves.
