Energizing your audience with my passion for courageous leadership and personal transformations!
I’D LOVE TO SPEAK AT YOUR NEXT EVENT,
My journey as a life coach and facilitator has brought me to unexpected places that energize me, assuring me I am meant for this work. This is especially evident when I find myself speaking at events, looking out into a fresh audience of faces as they hear my message, and move from half interest to fully engaged and ready to do the lead program!
For audiences young and old, from corporations to PTOs, the desire to feel better, make a greater impact, and unlock one’s potential is universal. As a Keynote Speaker, a mixture of professionalism, humility, and approachability make me uniquely suited to affect a variety of audiences. Below are examples of Keynote topics I can share with your group. We can also discuss your needs and curate the right message for your next event.
The Heart of Daring Leadership –Dare to Lead by Brené Brown
Why Daring Leadership Matters:
When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions.
We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others.
We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work.
After your phone consultation with Liz you will see why she is the perfect speaker for your next event.
Daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that, as a society, we are not investing in developing leaders’ hearts and minds as we scramble to figure out what we, as humans, can offer that machines and Artificial Intelligence can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, for starters.
How to Have Difficult Conversations
We often tap out of hard conversations in the spirit of “being nice.” We talk about someone to others or to their boss and avoid giving them feedback directly. We don’t want to upset people. At the same time, we all deeply desire feedback for ourselves in the pursuit of improvement and growth. Learn how to give and receive feedback and how to lean into the discomfort of “difficult conversations.” These skills will serve you not only in your work, but at home and in your personal life. Rather than upsetting and alienating others, these skills actually make us more effective communicators and create more inclusion and belonging for those around us.
How to deal with difficult people
We all encounter people that frustrate us daily: coworkers, family, friends, even strangers. We disagree with choices people make and don’t understand why they make them. We feel annoyed and want to avoid them; they start to drive us nuts and consume too much space in our brains! I will teach you what is causing this frustration and how to stop being annoyed by others, giving you skills to be a better leader, parent, friend, and all-around better human (even while stuck in traffic!)
The Anatomy of Trust (From Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead™)
Take a deep dive into the elements of trust. We hear the word “trust” used a lot in our daily lives and often don’t dedicate time to fully understand its meaning. Breaking down its anatomy into specific behaviors allows us to more clearly understand the vital role trust plays in our relationships and identify and address when it’s breached. We will learn the importance of trusting ourselves and trusting others and how to do it.
