Build Resilience and Connection Through Meaningful Conversations
Interactive keynotes, workshops, and trainings that help leaders and teams strengthen well-being, belonging, and purpose in a changing world.
Every organization is facing change (and often multiple layers at the same time), economic uncertainty, burnout, turnover, and a collective sense of fatigue.
Yet these moments hold the possibility for renewal and reconnection. My speaking and facilitation experiences help leaders and teams pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most: their values, their people, and their purpose.
Whether you’re planning a leadership retreat, conference keynote, or department workshop, each session is designed to foster reflection, dialogue, and practical resilience skills that last well beyond the event.
How I Work
Each experience—whether a keynote, workshop, or training—combines storytelling, research, and embodied reflection. Participants leave with language, frameworks, and tools to support both individual and collective resilience, immediately and long-term.
Formats include:
Keynotes: Inspiring, research-based talks that challenge how we think about resilience and invite doable action.
Workshops: Interactive sessions tailored to your group’s needs, designed for immediate application.
Trainings: Deeper learning experiences that integrate resilience and belonging into everyday leadership practice.
Focus Areas and Topics
These offerings help organizations cultivate cultures of care, strengthen communication, and lead with clarity and compassion, especially in times of uncertainty, disruption, and change.
Core topics include:
Awaken Resilience: Leading with care in times of change
Boundaries as the Gatekeepers of Resilience
Redesigning Work for Purpose-Driven Growth
Interrupting Patterns of Overing

A Call to Build Emotional Resilience in an Era of Climate Crisis
Climate Resilience Workshops
For sustainability-focused organizations and leaders, I offer specialized sessions addressing the individual, collective, and organizational dimensions of what your work means now and how to prepare for a climate-forward world.
We explore the mind, body, and belief systems that shape how people respond to change, and often the ways they subconsciously resist. By working through cognitive barriers, unspoken mindsets, and emotional and somatic resilience, teams learn to stay engaged and grounded even amidst uncertainty in order to build a different future. Together, we turn collective grief into regenerative leadership and courageous, values-aligned innovation so your people can continue creating solutions without burning out or disconnecting.
