Hire Me To Speak At Your Event.

I’ve been invited to speak at events across North America, acting as a guest speaker, panelist, workshop facilitator, and motivational speaker in universities, conferences, community events, and corporate environments.

I have experience speaking with large audiences of 400+ individuals, as well as leading interactive sessions and workshops for groups of various sizes.

My audiences are aspiring, early stage, and established founders and entrepreneurs from a range of industries - including e-commerce, retail, and service-based professionals - who want to build socially impactful and values-aligned businesses.

My topics of specialty include:

  • How to build social impact into your business model and social entrepreneurship

  • How to market your story authentically on social media without feeling sleazy

  • How to make content that converts followers into fierce fans, loyal customers and build strong online communities

  • How to hire, lead, and cultivate a team culture rooted in your company’s values

  • How to apply principles of conscious leadership to build purpose-driven brands

  • How to scale your business without the burn out and toxic hustle
