About Betsy
Leadership Keynote Speaker | Creator of the Bar Raisers™ Movement
Featured on FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, and TEDx, Betsy Allen-Manning is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. As the thought leader behind the Bar Raisers™ Movement, Betsy’s proprietary system redefines how organizations approach performance, leadership, and culture. Her research reveals how every company has Bar Raisers™ and Tolerators. Bar Raisers™ bring ‘Contagious Excellence’ into every room they enter. Tolerators settle for the status quo. One helps you become a Destination Workplace®. The other makes you a Resignation Workplace. Betsy’s question to every individual is this: “Which one are you choosing to be?”
That question has made Betsy one of the most in-demand motivational leadership speakers and experts worldwide, and she has the receipts to prove it…
She’s the lead researcher behind the National Workplace Trends Study, a bestselling author, and the founder of Destination Workplace®: a leadership development firm in Dallas, Texas, that earned the 2024 Global Recognition Award for Culture and Leadership Excellence. She has trained over 15,000 leaders and teams across Fortune 500 companies, global franchises, associations, and government agencies, with clients including Toshiba, Aflac, Baylor Health, Fidelity, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
Before speaking, she was headlining shows around the world as a professional singer, and after that, she led teams at five-star hotels, where she learned firsthand that culture doesn’t come from posters on a wall. It comes from leaders who set, model, reinforce, and reward high standards.
When she’s not on stage, you’ll find Betsy at her home in Dallas, Texas, with her fun-loving husband and their fur-baby, Bella. She is a self-professed coffee addict and adventure junkie, having skydived twice, bungee jumped, and is now pursuing storm chasing. She firmly believes that with God and the Bar Raisers™ DNA, nothing can stop you from unlocking your next level in business and in life.
