Across all of my speaking engagements and workshops, I encourage people to use their voice, tell their story, and cultivate kindness.

I bring elements of psychology, design, and physicality to a deep understanding how people work and why we do what we do. My deep love of movement and wellness (including 20 years of NCAA collegiate swimming to 200-hour yoga teacher certification) — means that I bring a holistic health focus into the conversation, with an emphasis on well being, honing your intuition, and integrating the mind, body and spirit.

  • The upside of loneliness: how feelings are wayfinders to our authentic self.
  • How to craft great stories, pitches, and narrative arcs.
  • Content strategy: how to create a simple yet powerful thought leadership platform. (Hint: you don’t need to start a blog.)
  • The power of starting — why starting is a difficult aspect of behavior change.
  • Why pursuing outside (and outsize) goals can make for better worker productivity, happiness and engagement.
