Audiences walk away with:
Leaders walk away with courage, clarity, and a reminder that true influence comes from how you show up and engage with others, not simply the role you hold.
In this keynote, your leaders explore the real journey of leadership. They’ll hear the wins, the setbacks, and the lessons learned along the way. The room fills with energy, humor, and truth that people connect with because it’s lived, not lectured.
From intern to CEO, I learned that titles don’t define leadership. Trust does. I show how energy, encouragement, and authenticity can transform teams and organizations, no matter the title on your nameplate.
Leading Without a Leash: From Intern to CEO
My Signature Keynote
For over 30 years, I was a healthcare leader, guiding thousands of employees, managing over a billion dollars in revenue, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. Along the way, I spoke on national stages about healthcare transformation, served on advisory councils, and built a reputation for leading with energy, trust, and encouragement.
Now I bring that same experience to the stage as a certified Life & Health Coach and lifelong mentor. My style is real and engaging. It’s a thoughtful mix of story, humor, vulnerability, and truth that connects with people. Leaders leave encouraged, challenged, and carrying one clear step they can use right away.
