Frequently Asked Speaker Questions

How will you enhance engagement with the audience?

  • Depending on the event size, format, and organizer's request, speaker experiences can be one-way lecture style or interactive. 
  • For virtual events, the camera will be on for maximized engagement with the audience.
  • When appropriate or requested, planned interactions may include an icebreaker, group discussion, audience poll, handouts,  interactive activities, chat or live Q&A, and in the moment opportunities to practice skills are provided.
  • Relevant slides for visual impact.
  • Reading the room is my specialty. If I notice that audience attention is dipping, I have alternative means to recapture their interest. This often includes a pause for clarification, an impactful story, an experiential activity, or break if appropriate.

What is your speaking background?

  • 2007-My love of speaking was sparked by teaching at a community college for three years.
  • 2010-I then continued to speak for over a decade while working with military populations, where I presented hundreds of presentations on a variety of mental and relational health topics.
  • 2020-I've spent the last two years speaking on topics that address the mental, physical, spiritual, and relational health of women.

How long will you speak?

The answer to this question depends on the event and the needs of the organizer. 

My standard protocol is to meet with the organizer to determine the allotted time to speak, topic of choice, method of delivery, and desired outcomes. By doing this, an ideal timeframe for speaking can be determined.

How do you describe your speaking style?

My speaking style is warm, inviting, person-centered, dynamic. I want each person in the room to feel like I'm speaking directly to her or him. And to pull that off, I make sure my heart for helping and my fire for transformational experiences is aligned.

I mix my mellow style of speaking with engaging storytelling that draws the audience into the message and leads them down a path toward inspired action.

Why should we choose you as a speaker?

Choosing me to speak at your event is an important decision. That decision is not about me. It's about you and your organization, school, church, event, group, or audience.

If you are in need of a dynamic speaker that can mentally empower your audience, then my expertise in delivering these outcomes may be a perfect fit for your event.

I'm not only speaking from an educational perspective. I'm also equipping audiences from personal and professional  experiences where the strategies I teach have consistently been effective.

Virtual and in-person speaking opportunities are available. If you are requesting an in-person keynote, breakout session, presentation, or workshop, any current COVID-19 safety protocols must be followed in order to keep the speaker and audience members safe.

What technology are you familiar with for virtual events?

For my own workshops and events I use Zoom. As a guest speaker I have used Microsoft Teams and Stream Yard. 

If your organization uses another platform, I am open to exploring how to effectively access and maximize that platform as well. 

Do you only speak at events for women?

No, I speak for a variety of audiences. My speaking experience has allowed me the opportunity to speak in front of diverse audiences that include women, men, and students.
