SPEAKING
Mindful learning experiences for today’s workplace and tomorrow’s leaders.
Creating lasting transformation on an individual and organizational level.
Today’s employees are more disconnected and distracted than ever. Constant interruptions from social media, endless Zoom calls, and hybrid work challenges are creating serious performance gaps, with productivity dropping by as much as 21% when employees feel disconnected (Source: Harvard Business Review).
My keynotes make belonging relatable, actionable, and transformative. Through powerful storytelling, I inspire attendees to OWN their sense of belonging using the research-backed Catch Convert Create mindfulness framework, improving collaboration, reducing stress, and boosting productivity.
This isn’t just a keynote—it’s an unforgettable experience! Each talk includes a guided mindfulness practice, giving attendees in-the-moment transformation that they will carry with them long after the session ends.
