Years of building my motivational speeches, one stage at a time, have shown me how inspiring it is to see my efforts pay off. It’s reflexive to focus on what’s next, but before you do, take the time to list all of your accomplishments. You might be surprised to realize you’re further along than you give yourself credit for. Whatever heavy load you’re carrying right now, stick with it—your time is coming!

🚀 Double-header speaking engagements this week on Adaptive Leadership!

I had the opportunity to break down what it takes to lead effectively in today’s world. Here are some key takeaways:

🔹 Turning hardship into leadership – Overcoming personal challenges gives us unique perspectives. When we shift how we view adversity, we spotlight the soft skills that define the most effective leaders of the 21st century.
🔹 Modern leadership demands depth – Intuition, empathy, emotional intelligence, and resilience are now non-negotiable skills. These traits aren’t learned overnight; they are built over a lifetime.
🔹 Resilience is a formula, not a mystery – The key is transforming life’s toughest moments into principles, teaching moments, and actionable takeaways.
🔹 Your losses hold as much power as your achievements – If we embrace adversity rather than fear it, we unlock an unmatched level of leadership and insight.

2025 is coming into focus! I'm honored to be a speaker at the GatherVerse SHE Summit 2025 - The Obstacles and Triumphs of a Startup Founder in an AI Era. Book your spot soon!

I had my own words I wanted to share today, but I'm honored to be upstaged by this fierce woman.
"Ask yourself about the kind of life you want: What would you do day to day, and with whom, and where? Consider the life you have. Do one thing today, however small, to close the gap between the two." - Maggie Smith 1934-2024

Looking forward to being a guest on The Gloria Show tomorrow at 2pm EST. I'm going to share tips on loss, leadership and how to harness power. Hope to see you there!

I want to help start your week with one of the most popular takeaways from my keynote speech. Courage comes from the strangest places!

It's that time of year again! I am hoping to speak at one of my favorite venues, SXSW EDU in Austin. Grief and adversity are unavoidable aspects of our lives. It's amazing that everyone experiences these challenges, yet many are reluctant to discuss them, and the workplace often overlooks them. My mission is to help people turn pain into power and enable companies to thrive with healthier, more resilient individuals. I speak nationally on the topic and would love your vote to support this important cause that affects all of us.
