   I work with people who seek to turn adversity into opportunity so they may live engaged, fulfilling, and prosperous lives via facilitating, presenting, training, developing, team building, and conflict resolution.I am a dynamic edutainment speaker and trainer. Mixing a refreshing blend of applicable information, energy, and entertainment through stories, I am able to engage participants with fresh concepts for enhancing their lives at work, at home, and in their communities. After my keynotes and workshops, audiences have…• Increased energy and team cohesiveness; • Enlightened solutions and actionable takeaways;• A deeper understanding of how their responses create their outcomes.My clients include the International Institute for Municipal Clerks Conference, Illinois Municipal League Conference, Project Managers Institute, Townships of Illinois Conference, Lake County’s Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce, University of Wisconsin-Parkside and others.The four professional presentations I provide include: Drop the Drama and Create Extra-Ordinary Outcomes; How to Move from Crazy to Crazy Good; Messages of the Monarch Butterfly; and Developing Future Community Leaders.For more information visit me at
