Speaker's Bureau Information

Speaker Bio
I am interested in engaging in more speaking engagements. A few years ago I was invited as a panelist for the ACN Annual Meeting. I have also been a guest contributor and presenter at the Sarkeys Foundation, board of directors meetings, and smaller women's groups.

Trained as a communicator, marketer, and journalist, I have been dedicated to strengthening and growing people and brands to find their purpose and sustain it over time. My 20-year experience as a dynamic and versatile bilingual/bi-cultural leader includes working with nonprofits such as Ronald McDonald House Charities, EverThrive Illinois, Curamericas Global, Willow Creek Community Church, Opus Peace, People’s Resource Center, Cardenas Markets Foundation, CASA Kane County; and for-profit companies like McDonald’s Corporation, The Hershey Company, Verizon, Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA), and Southern Illinois University.
Topic 1
Leading With Purpose Means Using Our Influence, Saying “Yes,”​ and Giving Permission to Others
Topic 1 Description
We all have influence. We are able to positively impact, inspire, and ignite others into action, into leadership, no matter what we do, where we work, or what type of personality we have. We have the power and the responsibility to use our gifts and talents, our purpose, to move others into action and leadership.
Topic 2
Our Purpose = Our Becoming
Topic 2 Description
Cultivating a friendship with our emotions and taking responsibility for our own nourishment and self-care are the water and the sun that our souls need to thrive and serve others well.
Topic 3
Selling Your Purpose: Bringing a Sales Perspective to Non-Profits
Topic 3 Description
In a stereotypical sense, a salesperson is someone whose main goal is to sell you a product or service, get your money, and make you into a customer. As a nonprofit, it’s different. Your main goal is to make social change, generate donations, and make your donors into allies in your purposeful journey. But just because the goals are different, doesn’t mean that a nonprofit isn’t selling anything, or shouldn’t think of themselves as salespeople.
