Book me to speak at your conference
Inspiri-Practical? Motiva-Writerly? Empa-Authentic? In my conference sessions, I show people how to write better, motivate them to do the work, inspire them to be as good as their communication heroes (or their competition), and equip them to change and grow.
When you book me to speak at your event, we share a goal: a great experience for participants. My sessions are hands-on, practical, and illustrated with real-world examples. I don’t do “Philosophy 101” or “Life Lessons I Learned From My Dog.”
I customize my keynote and breakout sessions for your organization and industry, so attendees will say, “She knows a lot about what matters to us.”
