“What does selling ½ a million dollars worth of lipstick have to do with YOUR problem?”
I understand human behaviour.
In my previous career, as a Senior Sales Director in the cosmetics industry, I sold ½ million dollars worth of lipstick, personally. That’s a LOT of kisses!! In that time, I learned a lot about
self esteem
self image
imposter syndrome, and
other challenges that hold humans back from being all they can be.
In addition, I led many of my sales professionals to become leaders in my organization; I led that organization to consistently be recognized in the top 10% of the company. This is where I gleaned the wisdom I use today. Our track record supports the techniques, tools, and strategies I teach, today.
So what’s my sweet spot? I grow leaders.
First off, THANKS for stopping on my site. In a noisy world, I’m glad you found me. If you’re an organization that is looking for a professional speaker, an emcee, and a solutionist… you’re in the right place!
I’m a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP); this is a designation assigned by the National Speakers Association to fewer than 900 speaking professionals across the globe. I am one of only 56 in Canada. This designation lets you know that I’ve done enough of what I do to know what I’m doing – and do it well!
I’d love the chance to discuss if we’re a fit for one another. I prefer phone or zoom – what about you?
I’ve served on the national and local boards of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS) for more than a decade and I attend leadership conferences, annually, for my own professional and personal development.
I get a kick out of matchmaking (for business)! So, after speaking together, if we decide that I’m not the ideal fit for your event/challenge, I’d be honoured to match you up with other potential solution providers who I know and love. I have a HUGE network; I can ‘hook you up’.
I LOVE watching what people can do when they’re sold on themselves! I believe the path to sustainably high-performing leaders is leading authentically.
Authenticity happens when leaders are aligned with their power. MY job is to help them uncover their superpowers and co-create a plan to leverage those powers into high performance.
Participants in my programs develop increased self-awareness and targeted, implementable strategies. The organizations who hire me develop high-performing leaders who are healthy and engaged.
I’ve listed my three most requested topics here so if you don’t immediately see what you’re looking for, please ask me. I have a jam-packed toolbox of solutions.
My clients say that what they appreciate most about me is my energy. They say, I’m approachable, easy to work with, flexible, and that I offer a safe space for my participants to have real conversations. That makes me happy, because that’s exactly what I try to create!
Throughout my career, I’ve been fascinated by what DRIVES peak performers. Having led an organization of top performers, and having been in the top ten of 30,000 sales professionals, I was always curious WHY people perform well.
