The idea
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.
Unsealed Spaces · Soft launch
Unsealed Spaces is soft launching with two intimate destination experiences.
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.

For leaders & organizations
Advisory & Speaking
Stronger teams. Clearer leaders. Better rooms.
Strategic counsel, keynotes, and leadership experiences that help organizations build the trust, clarity, and culture great work depends on.

The founder
Led by Maasha Kah.
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.”
What people say
The kind of impact people remember
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.

Start with yourself
How free are you, really?
Short, honest assessments. A mirror held up to how you lead, connect, and grow — and one clear next step. Free, and a little revealing.
Find your door
Tell us who you are. We'll show you the way in.
There's more than one way to step inside. Pick what fits, and we'll point you to what matters most for you.
Come as you are. Leave lighter.
Hold up the mirror, sharpen how you connect, and find a room where you can finally be yourself.
