in-person events are essential
to their company’s success?

to build real relationships.
In this engaging and entertaining keynote,
I lead attendees on a journey
to not only uncover,
but to master their 5th Question TM.
Let's move beyond mundane networking conversations
and create the connections that build relationships.

About Me.
In addition to speaking and coaching, I'm also working on my first book about making a career change and on a running quest to complete a race in every state
(26 states completed as of Sept. 2023).
Why hire me for your next event?
I love lists (who doesn't?) here's a list of seven reasons to bring me in as your next speaker:
#1 - My focus isn't to talk to your attendees – it's to give them something to talk about.
#2 - You want engaged attendees who will share positive feedback, AND leave your event with a desire to attend next year. I get this!
#3 - I interact with attendees the moment I arrive and can be available to continue the conversation during breaks, lunch or dinner.
#4 - My content is sticky! I provide added value with post-event follow-ups reminding attendees of key take-aways and action items.
#5 - Do you want a guided handout to capture notes? I do that!
#6 - ENERGETIC is most often the first word used to describe me.
#7 - Following your event, I'm happy to refer you to another speaker to continue your track record of successful outcomes.

(Yes, that's my direct number.)
Keynote Speaker
I fall into the category of "Surprise and Delight" speaker. I'm not famous, I've never climbed Mt. Everest carrying a goat while using paperclips as carabiners. I don't run a 4-minute mile in stilettos. I'm a storyteller, who adds some humor through real-life stories that real-life people can relate to and appreciate. I provide a happy balance of useful content and entertainment. I'm kinda funny.
And I always deliver value.
Session Speaker
The conference break-out session is where I spend a good deal of my time in my professional speaking career - and I'm good with that. I relate best to this conference attendee - happy to be attending, hardworking, excited to learn and bring back ideas to share with the team, always making time to network during coffee and lunch breaks and focused on becoming the best version of myself.
These are my peeps.
Workshop Leader
Are you interested in bringing one of my topics directly into your organization? From content development to delivery and assessment, I work with you and your team to identify learning objectives, content deliverables, and I build out the program to meet your needs, including small group exercises, handouts, pre-event surveys, and post-event evaluations.
Let's create success together.

What Audiences Say
While I am not everyone's cup of tea (who is?)
I know how to get people engaged in the content,
connected to their fellow attendees,
and they will definitely talk about what they learned at your conference!
