Experience across
The biggest turning points rarely announce themselves. Sometimes they arrive as a conversation. A challenge. A new technology. A room full of strangers. A single idea.
The Right Distraction exists to create those moments — and turn them into lasting momentum.
The Right Distraction creates rooms people want to be in.
This fall, we're testing a new kind of gathering — part retreat, part celebration, part meaningful escape. These experiences are designed for people who want to connect more honestly, celebrate more intentionally, and leave with memories that feel deeper than a typical trip.

Maasha Kah
Founder & advisor
Founder & CEO of The Right Distraction, with more than a decade across strategy, leadership, inclusion, and organizational transformation — at companies like Google, Uber, Eventbrite, DocuSign, Postmates, and Dropbox.
Her work sits at the intersection of people, performance, and possibility — leading large-scale programs, advising leaders through complex moments, and designing experiences that reach anywhere from an intimate leadership session to a room of 25,000. Along the way she's influenced $100M+ in diverse supplier spend and supported 50,000+ customers and partners.
On a stage, across a boardroom table, or in a candlelit circle, the throughline is constant: better environments create better outcomes.
“Maasha is one of the most personable and engaging speakers! Very real and down to earth.”
Real words from real rooms — workshops, keynotes, and listening sessions.
Engaging, informative, real. I walked away feeling like I had a plan for what to do next.

I think this was enlightening and a great opportunity for our employees to hear from different people of different backgrounds — both personally and professionally. I always value the opportunity to have discussions with people who have walked different paths than I have.

Really funny, which made it easy to engage. I also liked that you started on time, had think-pair-share interactions built in and told a story with your slides.
