Questions ERG and BRG chairs ask

What does an ERG need to send to book her?

A date, the slot length, who is in the group and what you want them to leave able to do. Every booking starts with a discovery call with her office.

Which keynote fits Women’s History Month?

Imposter Interrupted, her keynote on outsmarting self-doubt with emotional intelligence. The group leaves able to name the quiet costume each person reaches for most.

And a Veterans Day program?

R.A.L.L.Y.™ to Rise, or her own story: enlisted as an HR specialist in 1997, retired a Major in 2022, leading as herself the whole way.

Can she present virtually to a group across several offices?

Yes. She is based in Metro Detroit, travels from DTW and is available nationally, in person or virtual.
