Keynotes
et’s have a candid conversation about the paradox of endings: the joys and sorrows, the loss and liberation. I’ve been speaking in front of live audiences since I was nine years old and first took to the stage at my church. I was only up there for five minutes, but I loved sharing ideas that way. (I’m sure the applause didn’t hurt either.)
The topics I address have changed (and I have since left that church), but I still thrive in communities where we can discuss the beauty and challenges of being human and explore time-honored practices to cope with the crazy swirl of being alive.
Over the years I’ve keynoted and moderated at conferences and summits all over the world, ranging from the Federal Reserve Bank to Fitbit, L’Oreal and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. I’ve spoken at university forums, wellness events and mindfulness summits. I’m frequently booked for corporate off-sites for teams in transition. This work is well suited to the interests of HR and wellness professionals, recruiters, therapists, grief counselors, coaches, attorneys, financial advisors, and outplacement firms.
We are currently booking 2019 dates for my feature keynote:
Shift Happens:
Finding Clarity Amid the Chaos of Change.
Finding Clarity Amid the Chaos of Change.
In this keynote, we talk about Honorable Closure and why it matters. Drawing from contemporary neuroscience, wisdom traditions, social sciences and my own life experience, I review my 4-Step Process for Honorable Closure and dispel the top three misconceptions about it. Using stories and interactive exercises, the audience explores the steps of the process and comes away with:
- Awareness about what is possible now
- Acceptance and new way to talk about what is coming to fruition
- Appreciation for what was gained through change
- Clarity about what actions are needed
