Why I Speak

I love the energy in a room when everyone is engaged in learning.  Not just learning something nice to know, but something critical for meeting their personal goals.  People are like sponges, when they are motivated to be better–at their jobs, in their careers, at home, with friends and family.

And best of all, when I’m immersed in that energy, I’m learning just as much as everyone else in the room.  I get a deeper understanding of why something so obvious to me has eluded so many others. I become humbled at what others have gone through, to be where they are today.  I am delighted by the question that no else has ever asked me before, uncovering a nuance on a topic that I’ve taught for years.

Whether I’m speaking to an audience of 50 or 500, I relish the opportunity to create an experience that inspires, educates, and moves people into action.

What I Speak About

Over the last decade,  I’ve spoken on everything from The Three Traits of Extraordinary Leaders to  Boundary Crossers and Second Curves to SHIFT! Impact of Social Media on Your Career.   These days, my favorite topics are tied to the Story and Tribe elements of my work:

  • Networking Naturally.  Part of working on your Tribe, this interactive workshop is designed to help attendees take the stress out of networking and get better results, in a way that feels natural. Attendees learn how to have a meaningful conversation with someone they just met and how to stay in touch afterward. Download Fact Sheet for Networking Naturally Workshop
  • Brand Story: The Perfect Answer to “What Do You Do?“.  Designed to help attendees get a start on working on their Story, this workshop teaches attendees how to shape unique work and life experiences into an authentic story of who they are and the value they deliver.  Participants will reflect on key moments in their life and identify points of differentiation.  Download fact sheet for Brand Story workshop

Of course, if you wanted to pay me a zillion dollars, I’ll speak on just about anything.  But if you want to get the biggest bang for your buck, pick a topic that I already know and love speaking about.   And yes, I will customize for the audience.
