I provide a strategic investment in your workforce.

​

Financial stress is one of the most persistent, and least addressed, drivers of burnout, disengagement, and lost productivity in today’s organizations.

​

My programs help leaders and employees understand how financial stress impacts performance at work, why ignoring it is costly, and what they can do, immediately and practically, to reduce its impact.

​

This is not a motivational talk that feels good for an hour.

It’s a conversation organizations need to have if they want resilient, engaged, high-performing teams.

​

Why financial stress belongs on your stage

 

Financial stress doesn’t stay personal.

It shows up every day as:

​

• Distracted employees

• Burnout and disengagement

• Preventable healthcare costs

• Absenteeism and turnover

• Leaders struggling to sustain performance

​

Most organizations are trying to solve these problems without addressing one of their root causes.

​

My work clarifies this issue with understanding, evidence, and solutions.

​

What makes my keynotes different

I speak to both sides of the equation

 

People and performance.

 

I combine:

​

• Lived experience (from teen homelessness and addiction to financial stability)

• Research-backed insight on financial wellbeing and behavior

• Practical tools employees and leaders can actually use

 

The result is a keynote that resonates emotionally and stands up to executive scrutiny.

​

What audiences walk away with

​

After this keynote, audiences don’t just feel inspired, they leave with:

​

• A clear understanding of how financial stress affects focus, health, and performance

• Language leaders can use to address financial wellbeing without stigma

• Practical strategies to reduce stress and build financial capability

• A reframed view of financial wellbeing as a leadership and organizational issue

 

This creates momentum that extends beyond the event.

​

Business outcomes organizations care about

 

Organizations bring me in because they are looking to support:

​

• Higher engagement and focus

• Stronger workforce resilience

• Reduced burnout and preventable costs

• Leaders who understand the real drivers of performance

​

When financial stress is addressed directly, teams don’t just feel better they perform better.

 

Audiences I work with

 

I regularly speak to:

​

• Healthcare organizations and systems

• HR, People Ops, and Benefits leaders

• Executive teams

• Conferences focused on leadership, wellbeing, and performance

​

Each keynote is tailored to the audience, industry, and organizational context.

​

What Event Planners Appreciate

​​

• Professional, collaborative preparation

• Clear alignment with event goals

• A message that resonates across roles and seniority

• A balance of credibility, humanity, and actionable insight

 

My goal is to make you look smart for bringing me in.

​

Let’s Talk

 

If you’re looking for a speaker who:

​

• Addresses a real, costly problem organizations face

• Connects emotionally without losing credibility

• Delivers more than a one-time motivational moment

 

Then let’s start a conversation.
