Speaking & Facilitation
Talks that strengthen how people lead, communicate, and work together — in any setting.
Whether I’m speaking to founders, leadership teams, teachers, boards, or community groups, my talks centre on the moments that shape how people work together.
I bring practical tools from the PEACE Method™ to help audiences handle pressure, communicate clearly, and strengthen relationships — in the business, in families, and across communities.
Every session is warm, grounded, and designed to give people something they can use the moment they walk out the door.

Experience
I’ve spent more than 30 years working with founder families, leadership teams, and parent communities. My speaking experience spans national media, corporate events, conferences, expos, and serving as a parenting spokesperson for an international magazine.
Wherever I speak, I bring the same grounded, practical style: real stories, clear tools, and insights that strengthen leadership in both the business and at home.
