The

CARA Code

Turn small talk into real influence

Bring the CARA Code™ to your next event and help your audience connect, communicate, and lead with curiosity.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER MOLLY KETCHAM

Every result in business starts with a conversation.

Yet too often, those conversations stay at the surface level of updates, transactions, and polite small talk.

The CARA Code™ helps you listen beyond the words, lead with curiosity, and respond in ways that spark collaboration, motivation, and change.

When leaders master the rhythm of connection, they:

Build trust faster

Engage teams without micromanaging

Strengthen relationships with clients and colleagues

Turn everyday moments into opportunities for influence

So how do you turn everyday moments into influence that lasts? It starts with a different kind of conversation:
one built on curiosity.

Hello! I'm 

Molly

I’m a communication strategist and keynote speaker who helps leaders and teams turn everyday interactions into influence that lasts.​

I created the CARA Code™ as a simple, human-centered framework for building trust, collaboration, and connection through curiosity. Over the past 15 years, I’ve seen how one genuine question or thoughtful response can shift an entire conversation, and sometimes, an entire culture.

My mission is simple: to help people move from polite conversation to powerful connection, because that’s where real influence begins.
