The most common feedback I receive after speaking engagements is "we need more of this type of training." As a military veteran who works primarily with some stereotypically "tough crowds" regarding receptivity to mental health messaging (e.g., first-responders, military, etc.), I see comments like that as a huge win for mental health. I know the importance of humor and not taking myself too seriously. By incorporating science and story, I pride myself on being more than a lab coat. If it's a room of academics, great - I'll lean into research and practice. If it's more of a tactical or practical group, great - I'll lean into pragmatic application. Whether in an auditorium or out in the field, I can typically adapt to the hopes and needs of clients.

KEYNOTES
Keynotes are typically 30-90 minutes. I pride myself on an intentional, approachable, and adaptable talk that will make people laugh and listen. I will typically tailor messaging to the specific audience and needs of the organization. Personally, I believe that "motivational speaker" prices have gotten outrageous in the field. My rates and fees are often negotiable if the relationship is right. Let's figure something it.

WORKSHOPS
Currently, 2-hour, half day, and full day workshop options are most typical (in addition to keynote options). Multi-day trainings are available in CE paperwork is typically no problem if applicable. Workshops are adaptable to organizational needs, but typically incorporate some or all of my "Areas of Expertise" (to the left). I am happy to create individualized training/content as applicable.
