A Talk that Stays With you

I don’t do canned, corporate-style speeches. My talks are alive in the moment—rooted in story, shaped by the room, and designed to spark real connection. Whether I’m speaking about voice, storytelling, leadership, or the courage to show up fully as ourselves, I bring a mix of depth, warmth, and high energy that invites audiences in and makes hearts bright.

guiding belief

I believe a great talk isn’t just heard—it’s felt. My goal is always the same: to leave people with new clarity, fresh perspective, and a sense of possibility.

Speaking Topics

I tailor every talk to the audience, but I often speak on:

  • The Power of Voice – Finding, refining, and using your voice with confidence.

  • Storytelling for Connection – How telling our stories helps us hold ourselves and each other more gently.

  • Brave Leadership – How clarity, truth, and storytelling shape better leadership.

  • Creativity & Self-Expression – Reconnecting with your authentic creative voice.

  • 2SLGBTQIA+ Identity & Visibility – Owning your story and stepping fully into yourself.

Curious About What I’m Working On?

This year, I’m hard at work writing a book—a deep dive into storytelling, voice, and the courage to speak from the heart. My blog is where I share snapshots of that journey.
