Alicia Kae Miller is a humanitarian, empathy activist, and founder of Empathy Uprise®, a social movement galvanizing humanity toward greater compassion and less hate.

After spending over two decades working in corporate America and traveling to 20+ countries, Miller recognized that "empathy is inclusion, inclusion is belonging; we all want to belong."

A national speaker, Miller is known for bringing energy that rises to the spaces she inhabits. Speaking from the heart, she engages listeners through a multi-sensory experience focused on interactive discussion, imagery, and personal truth. Her enthusiasm has propelled her to keynote and grace the stages of Western Industrial Nevada (WIN), SCORE National, and SCORE Austin.

She is a member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council and has been featured in Inc. Magazine and Vistage Research & Insights. She has also workshopped the power of empathy with 100+ Vistage International business executives at AAUW's National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL), an Austin-based CapMetro.

Creator and host of Solidarists, a monthly videocast featuring conversations that shine a light on the dark parts of our lives, work, and communities, Miller holds an MSc in Leadership and Change from St. Edward's University and a BA in Humanities and Cultural Studies from the Dominican University of California.

Empathy Uprise® is a WBENC and WEConnect International-Certified Woman Owned business.

Speech Topics

The Art of Empathy

When we shine a light on the dark places of our lives and directly engage one another with the intent to listen to learn rather than to respond, we put color to an otherwise blank canvas by developing relationships enriched with dignity and respect.

The focus of this discussion is how to become a master in the art of empathy. Through active listening, participants receive a practicable skill set accessible in any setting, including at the workplace and home.

Empathy in Action

When we step out of our comfort zone and bridge the empathy gap with spirit-aligned action, ambivalence is released in favor of a more profound emotional connection; a crack in our belief system reveals previously unseen light.

This discussion focuses on vital behavioral habits necessary to put empathy into action. Participants learn a working strategy and supporting tactics to become advocates for empathy in their own lives.

"Me" to "We" Paradigm

Consider a defining moment when you were either the giver or recipient of empathy when you felt truly seen, heard, and understood. We call this the empathy sweet spot — the moment we replace the perceived distance between what we think and how we feel with love.

This discussion focuses on honest assessment and teardown of indivisible walls that segregate society. To move humanity toward a "we" mindset, participants are challenged to confront biases and "me" minded ethos.
