CSP GSF
NY, USOwen Fitzpatrick CSP GSF is a social psychologist, keynote speaker, best-selling author, and creator of Belief Leadership™. He helps companies build trust, win buy-in, and turn uncertainty into action.
At the core of Owen’s work is a truth most organizations overlook: ideas don’t drive change — belief in those ideas does. Companies invest millions in strategy, communication, and culture, but real change only happens when people believe, trust, and buy-in.
Owen Fitzpatrick CSP GSF is a social psychologist, keynote speaker, best-selling author, and creator of Belief Leadership™. He shows leaders how beliefs are formed, challenged, and changed — and how to use that understanding to influence decisions, build trust, and drive action.
Owen has spoken in 33 countries, including Japan, Colombia, Brazil, South Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico, Lebanon, Australia, Pakistan, Indonesia, among many others, and worked with organizations including Coca-Cola, Google, LinkedIn, JP Morgan, Merck, Pfizer, Salesforce, Barclays, and AstraZeneca.
His book Inner Propaganda, endorsed by Tony Robbins, Daniel Pink, and Robert Cialdini, explores how beliefs shape behavior, identity, and influence.
With a background spanning psychology, behavioral science, neuroscience, and communication, Owen delivers keynotes that are intellectually sharp, practical, and engaging. Audiences leave with a deeper understanding of how belief works — and how to communicate, lead, and influence more effectively in times of change.

Inner Propaganda: The story war inside your mind
Format 45-60 minute Keynote
Your brain is running a propaganda campaign against you. Right now. The internal narratives shaping your decisions feel like clear thinking. They are not. They behave like propaganda: selective, emotionally loaded, built to resist challenge. The cost shows up everywhere. In the confidence that disappears before a critical conversation. In the conflict that keeps coming back. In leadership that feels harder than it needs to be....
Belief Leadership: How leaders make change stick
Format: 45-60 minute Keynote
Most change efforts don't die at launch. They die in week three, when belief starts leaking. The gap between a good plan and real execution is not strategy. It is belief. In a world being reshaped by AI, the resistance your team feels is not to the technology. It is to what they believe about their relevance, their roles, their futures. The result is predictable: aligned rooms and empty follow-through. Another all-hands....
Brain Prompting: Master thinking in an AI-driven world
Format: 45-60 minute Keynote
Everyone is learning how to prompt AI. Nobody is learning to prompt their own brain. The quality of every output, from ChatGPT to your own team, depends entirely on the quality of the input. Most leaders run on default thinking: anxious questions produce anxious answers, reactive framing narrows a decision before it gets made. The same unexamined thinking you bring to your leadership is what you are bringing to...
Stories That Change Minds: Communication that moves people
Format: 45-60 minute Keynote
This keynote is about one thing: mastering persuasion. Not manipulation. Not charm. The science of making ideas believed. Leaders share information. Their people make decisions based on meaning, identity, and emotion. That gap is where trust erodes, strategies stall, and the best ideas in the room die without anyone saying so. The instinct is to explain more, add another slide, go deeper on the data. But the problem was...

Just after the pandemic, a lot of our employees were really struggling with what was going on at the time. We brought Owen in to do a session for our whole company, and he absolutely nailed the content. We had about 250 people in the room, and I still hear reviews from the team about what a great meeting that was and; in fact, people are asking me when Owen is coming back. The feedback I got that I heard was mostly Authentic. Humorous. Practical. Connected with the audience. Well-spoken. Educated on the topics that he spoke about, and he delivered it practically so that people could relate to it and apply it to their lives

Verified @gritmind.comWe have 500 employees scattered around five offices all around the world, and so it becomes incredibly important to tell cohesive, memorable stories when we do organizational events or training seminars. Each year, we bring our teams together for the annual kickoff — which is the event that allows us to build alignment and a singular cohesive narrative for the whole organization of what our goals are, why we grow, and what we want to accomplish. We've had the pleasure of having Owen at multiple organizational events in the past, and the reason Owen is so great in these events is not just because of his content or his great Irish accent, it is actually because he is able to weave the narrative of our organizational mission into the content that he presents. So he has taken the most important tidbits of our organizational narrative and weaved it into the presentation that he was making on building trust and confidence in an individual. Owen has also performed lots of training for individual teams from sales to product management. Owen is able to relate and translate management, communication, and confidence theory into something that is applicable into a variety of roles inside the organization. Really happy with what Owen has brought to us and the organization. We've used him multiple times and I'm sure we're going to use him many times in the future

Verified @growdisrupt.comI was staggered and blown away by how he adjusted his presentation on the spot to meet the audience's energy. Owen was the speaker everyone was talking about the next day and weeks after the event as well! He did a phenomenal job keeping everyone engaged, laughing, and learning right up until the very end. He captivated the entire room. If you are considering hiring Owen, I would say go for it. Your event will be better for it. He was professional in every sense of the word, leading up to the event, at the event after the event

I am the Pilot of the first ever Irish Women's bobsleigh team to qualify for an Olympic Games. Earlier in my season I spoke with Owen to help me get over a traumatic crash I had experienced the previous season. I was worried that my Olympic qualification would be in jeopardy unless I could get past this mental block. Only a few minutes into our chat I was making progress and had learned skills to enable me overcome my fear and anxiety on a particular track. I knew I had to practice what he advised or I would not be able to race and gain the vital points necessary to qualify for the Vancouver Olympic games. Looking back now I'm so thankful for his help
