Speaking and workshops.

I speak to professional groups, business communities, and teams about the unspoken parts of work: how to tell your story, make your case, and be understood by the people who matter.

People leave with language they can use and a next step they can take that week.

Recently spoke at the High Vibe networking event.

Topics

What I speak about.

The unspoken seven-eighths

Most of what decides how work is seen sits below the surface. What it is, and how to work with it on purpose.

Excellent work only gets you so far

The skills that come after the work itself: relationships, perception, and making your case.

Find your through-line

Connect what you’ve done, what you’re good at, and where you want to go into a story people remember.

How to ask for more

What to say, what proof to bring, and how to handle the conversation, whether it’s a raise, a title, a rate, or an opportunity.

These are starting points. I can shape a topic around your group.

Formats

Keynote or featured talk
Hands-on workshop
Panel or fireside conversation
Group coaching series for a team or community

Who it’s for

Professional associations and member organizations, business and entrepreneur communities, leadership and employee groups, and conferences.

For organizations

Working with your team.

I also work with teams, leadership groups and member communities. That can be a workshop, a talk, or a group coaching series, shaped around your people and what they are working toward.

Tell me about your group

Takeaways

What your group leaves with.

A clearer way to describe their work and its value.

A simple method for keeping evidence of what they’ve done.

Practice with the conversations that move work forward: asking, proposing, negotiating, and setting boundaries.
