Looking for an inspirational, authentic consultant/speaker to connect with your audience as humans and help your event leave a lasting imprint on their hearts.
A Perfect Blend of Soul + Strategy
Hiring the right speaker for your event is a huge task. I know. I’ve been in your shoes and it often feels like everything is riding on this choice. Sure, you could go with a nationally known speaker guaranteed to fill your room. (No judgment! Getting butts in seats is the kind of the point, right?)
But, if you’re looking for someone who will show up as a messy human who’s willing to be vulnerable, raw, and real that your audience can connect with and relate to, then I might be your girl.
Let’s talk about working together for your next event if you want:
To laugh! I don’t take myself too seriously and laughing feels good. I’m not a stand-up comic or anything, but life is funny. We’ll focus on life.
To feel supported from start to finish! I’m not the kind of speaker that slides in five minutes before taking the stage, collects a paycheck, and bails. I come early, stay late, and endeavor to hug every person in the room. (I have no sense of personal space but I’ll only touch the ones that desire it. Promise.) Plus, I’m a hard worker; fifth-generation farm kid here.
• To look and feel smart. I’m just saying it. I know how big this decision
is. If your event is for accountants or engineers, I’ll save you time. I’m probably not your person. But, if you want people to feel seen, valued, and equipped to go back to their lives and do better, than I might be. (Engineers and accountants are people, too. If you’re planning an event for them and this is your goal, we should talk.) Ultimately, we’re all just humans trying to do the best we can. I’m a human who sees this and honors it. I can hold an absurd amount of space for it, actually.
I also offer breakout sessions and facilitated discussions in addition to traditional keynote services. Basically, if you like my vibe, let’s talk. It’s way too hard to figure out if I’m the right choice for your event based on what you read here.
