SPEAKER FAQS

The tools in Decide Happy help you build emotional muscle so that you can manage stress, tap into more joy, and magnify your own unique fabulousness every day.

With over two decades of expertise in the corporate training and consulting industry, I help companies and their people thrive by developing their mindset and ability to get better results.

I’ve worked with over a hundred organizations ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500, to create a more engaged and productive work culture. My areas of expertise include:

• Leadership

• Consultative sales and sales leadership

• Employee engagement and well-being

With the heightened pace of change and stress in our post-pandemic world, your team will learn “battle tested,” practical tools to increase engagement, fulfillment, and productivity - and build a culture that inspires others to step up and contribute their best.

I believe in providing “Practical Tools for Busy People.” Decide Happy takes a practical “How To” approach to building mental strength and resilience. I’ve built my training and consulting career on helping people and companies take simple, consistent actions to get measurable and quantifiable results. I apply my experience with adult learning and behavior change to all sessions.

The result? There is nothing theoretical or “fuzzy” about the approach. My goal is to provide an entertaining, interactive and engaging session that not only leaves your team inspired to take action, but gives them tools to make a difference immediately. As in “Right here. Right now.” They will learn and use these tools and skills right then in the session to manage stress and tap into more joy. And they will have so much fun and enjoy the process!

I get it! Having coordinated and facilitated hundreds of events over the years, I know first -hand how many details go into pulling off a successful event. I have built my business through repeat business and referrals. I use the same, proven consultative process with speaking and workshop clients that I use for corporate training to make sure we are spot-on aligned with your goals and objectives so your event is a win!

Oh I’m so glad you asked that! The prep really is the "secret sauce” to a great event.

Prior to your event, I’ll want to talk with you and/or a few of your colleagues to clarify your expectations and desired outcomes. Specifically, we'll discuss:

• What will make this a win for you and your team?

• What are the demographics of your audience?

• What are the challenges your team is experiencing?

• What is going great? What is stressing people out?

By understanding your specific situation, I can customize the speech or workshop so that it “sings.” My goal is to conduct a session that’s both fun and interactive, and also relevant and hits home.

I’ve been facilitating business workshops and presenting to corporations my entire career- over 20 years. I know what it takes to engage an audience, get to the point, and leave them with tangible tools.

I love presenting live and in person- and virtually! When 2020 hit, my training company pivoted quickly to facilitate life-changing training virtually. I know the tricks to keep a large (or small) audience engaged, and am experienced in most platforms, including Teams and Zoom.

A virtual Decide Happy event is a great way to include and engage your team-members from across the country, and around the world.

Yes! Please contact me to let me know a little more about your event. This way, I can put you in touch with a client whose event was similar to provide you with relevant feedback.

Absolutely!

My purpose is to inspire others to see new possibilities and take action to make their lives extraordinary. This mission crosses the line between professional and personal development. After all, we bring our person to our profession, don’t we?

My areas of specialty focus on:

Sessions can be conducted virtually or in-person.

Speaking engagements are 30-60 minutes in length. 45-50 minutes tends to be the “sweet spot.”

Decide Happy interactive workshops run between 1.5 hours to 1 day.

Each engagement is unique. Let’s talk about your specific objectives, audience, location and budget. I can quickly turn around a specific proposal of recommendations and pricing quote.
