Speaking
Engagements
Meetings, webinars and retreats don't always deliver great ROI.
I do.
We've all been there: horrible meetings that are nothing but a mind-numbing waste of time.
What if we designed staff and board retreats, stakeholder discussions and other meetings we'd like to participate in? That's my goal!
My facilitation skills and presentation style get and keep participants engaged and shepherd the group toward stated goals. And if your team needs writing and process training and coaching I can take care of that, too.
Retreat Facilitator & Activity Leader
Board, staff, volunteer and planning retreats
Multi-day events can be a drag. I've been an energetic facilitator and session leader for nonprofit, startup and established company gatherings, including the Liberty Hill Foundation, Adkins Arboretum and CommunityWorx. Whether it's guiding a group forward, delivering strategic skills support or providing an entertaining break from the action. I've got options for you.
Main Stage Presenter
Local and regional marketing and industry conferences
I've been a main stage speaker at several events, including the Insurance & Financial Communicators Association annual meeting, The Balanced Scorecard Users Conference and the Triangle American Marketing Association's Funnel Fuel event.

Session Leader
Local, regional, national & international events
One mark of an effective speaker is repeat invitations. I've been asked back multiple times by the North American Association of Environmental Educators, the National High School Journalism Convention, the Cullowhee Native Plant Conference and the Mid-Atlantic Marine Educators Association. Apparently, I'm twice as worthwhile as an open bar!

Co-Presenter / Panelist
Various events
I'm a frequent panelist on topics related to content marketing, climate change communications, nature connection, journalism, women in tech and mentoring. I even leveraged my experience as a Match.com love advice columnist for a lively discussion at SxSW in 2009 on Love in the Cloud: Online-Only Marriages.
