Miki Feldman Simon is an international speaker, executive coach, and author of CORE Leadership, a practical four-step framework that helps leaders lead themselves with intention, grow their influence, and amplify their impact. She speaks to senior leaders and high-potential professionals who want to move from autopilot to intentional action and create meaningful, lasting change.
Miki brings more than 25 years of global corporate experience across marketing, business development, and human resources. She has held senior leadership roles in multiple organizations and played a key role in guiding companies through growth and successful exits. This experience gives her deep credibility with audiences navigating complexity, pressure, and constant change.
Miki’s energy and passion are contagious. Her talks are inspiring and insightful, grounded in real-life leadership experiences, and designed to help audiences step out of autopilot, embrace challenge, and intentionally shape the future they want to create. She combines powerful stories, clear frameworks, and practical tools that participants can immediately apply. Audiences leave with clear insights that resonate long after the event and actionable steps they can take right away.
A global citizen, Miki has lived and worked in Australia, Israel, and the United States. She is deeply attuned to cultural differences and their impact on communication, leadership, and decision-making, and she works with organizations to strengthen clarity and effectiveness across cultures.
Miki is a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), holds an M.Sc. in Organizational Behavior and a B.A. in Psychology and Educational Counseling, and is SPHR certified. She is a member of the inaugural Forefront cohort, powered by Marshall Goldsmith and 100 Coaches.
Miki is passionate about helping leaders accelerate their personal and professional growth by increasing self-awareness and intentionality. She believes that lasting leadership impact starts with how leaders manage themselves. When leaders gain clarity about who they want to be and how they show up, they make better decisions, build stronger relationships, and create healthier, more effective organizations.
This belief led Miki to create CORE Leadership, a simple and practical framework that helps leaders understand themselves more clearly, recognize what gets in their way, and intentionally align their actions with their values. Through CORE, she guides leaders to move from reacting on autopilot to leading with integrity, intention, and impact.
Through her speaking, Miki inspires audiences to see what is possible when they take ownership of their growth and choices. She brings a deep understanding of leadership dynamics, real-world organizational challenges, and human behavior, and translates them into clear insights and practical tools leaders can apply immediately. Her goal is not just inspiration in the moment, but meaningful change that continues well after the event.
Miki draws from a rich set of personal and professional stories spanning senior leadership roles, global work across three continents, and moments of challenge, transition, and growth. She selects stories intentionally to match the audience and the goals of each talk, using them to bring leadership concepts to life in a relatable and human way.
Her stories are not shared for inspiration alone. Each one is tied to a clear insight, a CORE Leadership principle, or a practical shift leaders can apply immediately. Audiences often recognize themselves in these moments and leave with a deeper understanding of how small, intentional choices shape long-term impact.
Miki saw a common leadership challenge play out again and again. Capable, well-intentioned leaders were operating on autopilot, driven by old habits, constantly reacting to pressure, and often unaware of how they were getting in their own way.
Through her experience in senior leadership roles and later in her executive coaching work with leaders across industries, Miki realized that the issue was not a lack of capability or commitment. It was the absence of a clear, repeatable way to slow down, step back, and lead with intention, grounded in a clear vision of the leader they wanted to be rather than the one shaped by circumstance and habit.
This insight led her to create CORE Leadership, a practical four-step framework providing a roadmap for anyone ready to lead from the inside out. By helping leaders clarify what matters, operationalize intentional choices, reflect on internal patterns, and evaluate their impact, CORE provides a simple structure for moving out of autopilot and into intentional leadership.
Miki speaks about CORE because today’s leaders are under constant pressure to move faster and do more, often at the expense of awareness and alignment. Her work helps leaders pause just enough to lead themselves well, so they can lead others with greater clarity, consistency, and impact—and become the kind of leaders people trust and want to follow.
Miki speaks on leadership, self-leadership, and intentional growth through the lens of CORE Leadership, her practical four-step framework for sustainable change. Sample talks include:
• Become the Leader Others Want to Follow
How leading yourself with clarity, integrity, and intention builds trust, credibility, and lasting influence.
• From Autopilot to Intention: Who Do You Want to Be as a Leader?
A CORE-based exploration of identity, choice, and how leaders align daily decisions with the leader they aspire to become.
• Managing Yourself to Better Lead Others
Why self-leadership is the foundation of effective leadership, and how awareness and intentional action shape how others experience you as a leader.
• Lead from the Inside Out: Living and Leading with Integrity
How clarity of values and intentional choices strengthen consistency, trust, and followership.
• Embracing Challenge: A Practical Approach to a Growth Mindset
Moving beyond slogans to practical tools leaders can use to respond to challenge, uncertainty, and feedback in ways that build confidence and credibility.
• Leveraging Your Strengths to Create Possibility and Impact
How leaders intentionally apply their strengths to show up more fully and lead in ways others want to engage with and follow.
• Women and Leadership: Leading with Clarity, Confidence, and Intention
Practical strategies for navigating visibility and self-belief while becoming the kind of leader others trust and choose to follow.
