SPEAKER STUDIO

Conversations That Spark Change

I've spent twenty years in the room where transformation happens, coaching leaders through career pivots, guiding teams through organizational upheaval, supporting individuals as they reimagine their lives. As a speaker, I share what I've learned from thousands of hours at those crossroads: the patterns, the pitfalls, and the stories that reveal what's possible when we navigate change with intention.

My Speaking Approach

Every talk is custom-built. I dig into your organization's specific challenges, your audience's real struggles, and design sessions that meet people where they are then move them forward.

I draw on decades in Fortune 50 HR leadership and certifications in coaching and Transitional Intelligence™, but I don't lead with theory. I lead with truth: the messy reality of transitions, the patterns I've seen across hundreds of clients, and the strategies that actually work when everything feels uncertain.

Expect candor. Expect stories that land. Expect your people to leave with clarity about their next step, not just motivation, but direction

Signature Topics

Here are a few areas where I’m most often invited to speak:

  • Navigating Transitions with Confidence
     How to move through career shifts, life changes, and organizational disruption with clarity and intention, whether you're leading a team or reimagining your own path.

  • The Future of Leadership
     The leadership style that retains talent, drives innovation, and creates cultures people don't want to leave.

  • Leading Through Uncertainty
     Building resilience, making decisions with incomplete information, and finding clarity when the path forward isn't clear.

  • Who Am I Now? Identity, Purpose, and Reinvention
     For individuals navigating major life transitions; menopause, empty nest, divorce, retirement, career pivots, this session explores how to reclaim your identity and design what comes next with intention.

Talks can be delivered as keynotes, fireside chats, interactive workshops, or multi-session series — tailored to your audience and goals.

Speaking Formats

I offer a range of formats tailored to different goals and contexts. My keynotes deliver 30–60 minutes of high-impact insights and compelling stories designed to inspire audiences and shift perspectives. For deeper learning and hands-on application, my workshops and breakout sessions provide interactive, practical experiences focused on skill-building and actionable takeaways. Additionally, I design and facilitate leadership offsites and retreats that guide teams through pivotal transitions and strategic inflection points, creating space for alignment and reflection.
