Speakers are essential workers. 

As a Business and Motivational Keynote Speaker, I deliver hope and concrete strategies to leaders, CEOs, and their teams. 

If you’re like most leaders, the word uncertainty can leave you feeling uncomfortable, unsure, and maybe even a little fearful.

Through my workshops, coaching, and keynotes, I show leaders how to create a culture of employee innovation and intrapreneurship. 
 
In turn, by helping employees and teams take charge of their careers, they become the employees that companies strive to keep. 

🔹VIRTUAL PROGRAMS 

My virtual programs will keep you on the edge of your seat, involved at every level, and motivated to do the impossible – take action!

No matter what this economy does, you can find a myriad of ways to succeed in today’s climate of uncertainty. As a Gold Certified Strategist, I’ll equip your team with business growth strategies that will empower you and your team members to grow, personally and professionally. 

🔹KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS

I was voted one of the Top 15 Business Growth Experts to Watch by Currency Fair. My highly engaging presentations help team members learn the leadership development, sales, and business growth strategies required to turn uncertainty into a competitive advantage.
