Megan Reitz
Expert on Institutional Integrity, Voice & Psychological Safety
Megan Reitz is a pre-eminent leadership scholar and the definitive authority on the mechanics of organisational silence. As a professor at Hult International Business School and an Associate Fellow at Oxford Saïd, she operates at the high-stakes intersection of neuroscience, mindfulness, and power dynamics. Megan deconstructs the "optimism bubble," proving that a leader's own authority often inadvertently silences the vital risk signals they need to hear. She assists global firms in navigating employee activism and ESG accountability, utilising her "Speak Up" and "Spaciousness" frameworks to help boards synchronise psychological safety with strategic agility.
By reframing courageous dialogue as a commercial imperative, she transforms cultural habits into a measurable driver of risk mitigation and innovative performance.
As a speaker, Megan is intellectually sharp and energising, translating complex action inquiry research into a rigorous blueprint for humane leadership. She provides the strategic clarity required to ensure the right voices are heard when it matters most.
