the beginning

IN THE BEGINNING,

My 1st keynote speaking event was in 2010. It’s when I began working with small and large groups across hundreds of cities. Audiences ranging from students to educators, to corporate professionals, parents, impact entrepreneurs, inmates, people in recovery and mental health professionals.

experience-based learning

MY APPROACH

In my work, I forego a traditional storytelling approach and instead, facilitate audiences processing their own stories in real time. I do this through a wide range of engaging activities because I discovered early on how experience-based learning is the most affective approach to transformation.

professional healing

THE PROBLEM

One of the ways I do this is through a writing exercise. I lead audiences through evidence-based frameworks. What I learned is how collectively, and across every demographic, people are feeling disconnected and having an absence of hope. This negatively impacts relationships and professional pursuits.

more than an event-

SPEAKER & SOCIAL SCIENTIST

This is why I am not just speaking at events, as a social scientist, I am giving an experience. In it I provide frameworks and tools to process feelings that are holding us back. Audiences won’t just listen to science and my story; they have the opportunity to actively navigate their own. As a result, people have practical tools, feel less alone and more hopeful that things will get better in their life.

passion ignited

PERMISSION FOR PASSION

My work, offers a framework for navigating struggles as we move towards personal and professional healing. I draw upon 12 years of experience and research in working across hundreds of cities, helping millions of people navigate difficult times, face fears and passionately pursue the lives they dream of.

pursue the impossible

STORIES, INNOVATION & SCIENCE

Throughout the years, my work improving health and culture, has reached millions of people across 50 countries. My research, field experience and passion has led to a series of programming and award-winning innovations.

a critical space

CREATING A PROCESS,

I didn’t used to appreciate the connection between our mental health and hope. Now I know, the anecdote to hopelessness isn’t just a feeling of hope, but a process to sustain it.

This is why every community needs a critical space for personal and professional healing. In building tools to navigating our emotional world we have practical strategies to pursue our goals and aspirations. Together, we build habits of hope!
