HI, I’M DR. YANICK HICKS

“Everything Rises and Falls on Leadership”

As an Executive Director and keynote speaker with the Maxwell Leadership Team, I am certified to speak in the areas of Leadership, Team Communication, and Resilience.

I inspire and entertain audiences by motivating them to reach their full potential, often drawing from my own professional journey and sharing impactful stories from my time as a pharmacist with Walgreens.

My goal is to energize organizations through values-based, people-centric servant leadership principles that empower and uplift every attendee—and I consistently strive to overdeliver at every engagement.

With over eight years of professional speaking experience, I’ve spoken at more than 40+ events yearly and am consistently rated as a top speaker by participants. I’ve had the privilege of captivating audiences as large as 2,400, proving myself to be a dynamic and reliable choice for events of any size.

I hold a Doctorate in Pharmacy (PharmD) from Marshall University and am a licensed pharmacist in the state of Arizona. In my pharmacy career, I led, inspired, and engaged both my team and patients to improve overall health outcomes.

At each event, I equip leaders with practical, values-driven tools that create both immediate and lasting impact on their leadership approach.

Outside of speaking, I stay active by coaching youth sports, playing soccer, hiking, watching movies, and spending quality time with my family and friends.

Each year, I book over 40+ engagements and have had the privilege of delivering impactful talks to a wide range of audiences, including some of the world’s leading brands such as Medtronic, McDonald’s, Wells Fargo, and healthcare associations, primarily for their leadership development functions.
