Speaking and Podcast

I realized I was a speaker by accident. I was attending a sales conference for work, and the scheduled speaker for one of our sessions suddenly fell ill. In what I can only imagine was a moment of delirious panic, somebody asked me to step in. I think they’d heard me tell a joke once and figured I could hold people’s attention (admittedly, I do deliver jokes quite well).

So, I stepped in and winged it. I couldn’t tell you what I said, though I remember it was honest and passionate. And I’m pretty sure it was funny because, well, I think I’m kind of funny. That’s how I realized those components — honesty, passion, and humor—make for the most engaging, meaningful, memorable talks.

Since then, I have spoken to audiences ranging from 20 to 10,000 people.

MOTIVATING WOMEN

Women are capable of such extraordinary lives, and yet too many settle for mediocrity because they don’t tap into their potential. My message of empowerment has been honed by working with hundreds of women, helping them to identify their own ideas of success and to make the life changes needed to achieve it.

JOY AND FAITH

I love to share my personal story behind Unstoppable Joy. My journey has been anything but easy; I have endured the loss of a child, rape, cancer, an alcoholic husband, but through it all, I have discovered the life-changing power of leaning on God and purposefully embracing joy.

THRIVING THROUGH CANCER

DIRECT SALES

I not only survived Stage 3 breast cancer, I learned to find joy in it. My message recognizes the dark depths that treatment takes us into, but focuses on the importance of faith, humor, and joy in getting through it.

Former top ten leader in a direct sales company, I have extensive experience in high-impact leadership to increase sales and overall business growth by creating a thriving culture
