Inspiring Resilience, Reinvention & the Courage to Bend

Hadley McClellan Schafer is a speaker, author, and global event strategist who helps audiences rediscover their strength and purpose when life doesn’t go according to plan. Through her signature keynote, Hadley shares honest, humorous, and heartfelt stories from her own pivots—from international moves and career transitions to personal loss and reinvention—to remind others that the moment you think you might break is often where your breakthrough begins.

Drawing on over two decades in the events industry and her background as a yoga teacher, Hadley blends practical wisdom with personal storytelling to help people embrace change, engage their support systems, and develop resilience through discomfort. Her talks leave audiences feeling grounded, motivated, and ready to bend toward growth rather than break under pressure.

Whether she’s on stage, leading a workshop, or joining a podcast conversation, Hadley’s authenticity and relatability invite listeners to laugh, reflect, and take action toward their own transformation.
