​I want to provide you with an incredible experience

1. On stage — My goal is to inspire and foster new ways of thinking in the audience. As a performer, I will use stories, humor and audience interaction to not only ELEVATE the experience but to keep the audience focused and engaged. Everyone will leave the presentation with actionable steps to help them ELEVATE! 

​2. Off stage —It's more than just a speech. I know as a decision maker, there are a lot of details and logistics you have to manage and figure out. Not only should the speaker be someone who is easy to work with, but the speaker should be someone you enjoy working with. I strive to make the process as smooth and as enjoyable as I can for you.
