Bio
I create powerful transformations in speakers I coach. I love helping people find and express their voice as a speaker coach. I started with TEDxSaltLakeCity in 2015. My career has focused on raising money and awareness for wonderful nonprofit organizations, mostly animal-related ones. I am a board member with Intermountain Therapy Animals and my dog and I conduct therapy visits at local hospitals and schools. I live with a dog and two cats in Salt Lake City.
I'm passionate about
Helping people find and express their voice. The animal-human bond. Kindness. Positive communication. Warm climes. Beauty in all forms. Gratitude.
An idea worth spreading
Therapy dogs raise spirits and dopamine while lowering stress and cortisol. Nearly everyone smiles when they see a well-behaved dog in an unexpected setting.
Areas of expertise
confidence-building, direct communication style, effective encouragement, fund raising, Idea discernment, leadership, positive coaching, presentation skills, speaker coaching
The TED story
I attended TEDxSaltLakeCity first in 2014. By the next year, I was serving on the Organizing Committee, and by 2016, was coaching speakers, which I love love love. With my team, I am dedicated to helping people give the best talk of their life.
