Looking for an
Education Keynote Speaker and 
Strategic Storyteller?

If you knew how to effectively inform + deeply inspire + positively influence
what could you achieve?

Storytelling is an omnipotent vehicle for infusing meaning into any situation. It’s how we communicate, learn, process, trust, and understand.

Strategic Storytelling is telling stories with a clear purpose — to inform, inspire, influence, or a combo of all three. And it’s an invaluable tool to know how to effectively wield in a time of change, transition, disruption, or discomfort. 

Using Strategic Storytelling as an empathic means to clearly conceived outcomes, I inspire education leaders to identify the need for, enact, and sustain innovative change.


My topics of expertise include:

Clarifying communication strategies to be more purposeful and purpose-filled, allowing leadership to increase alignment, achieve higher levels of cultural synchronicity, and create more meaningful opportunities and impact.

Managing complex change as a knowledgeable, empathetic, and accountable education leader to ensure sustainability, stakeholder reception, and positive implementation.

Envisioning remote, blended, and online strategic plans to successfully expand educational environments, sustain rigorous expectations, and provide equitable opportunities for all learners.

Establishing, investing, and strengthening stakeholder relations in education to foster cultures of empathy, awareness, inclusivity, equity, and understanding.

Leveraging educational neuroscience and applicable neuro-learning to improve practices, iterate instruction, and inspire innovation.

As an education keynote speaker, consultant, and impassioned education enthusiast, I don’t do cookie-cut communication. Our work together will be contoured to your audience and desired outcomes.

Here’s our starting point…

LEAD WITH STORY: CULTIVATING CLARITY TO OFFER ASSURANCE

There are three critical Strategic Stories you want to be telling right now to your stakeholders. Are you?

Learn how to leverage the power of story in vulnerable times and turbulent change in order to facilitate sustainable transformation, foster productive connection, and amplify constructive communication. Gain a rich and applicable understanding of story’s adaptive ability to create meaning amidst ambiguity, uncertainty, and discomfort.


THIS IS MOST BENEFICIAL FOR:
District leaders, school administrators, principals, school boards, higher education decision-makers, educational nonprofits, and other learning and education organizations.

NAVIGATING DIGITAL PEDAGOGY & COMPLEX CHANGE TRANSITION

The single biggest strategic error school leaders make is timing: failing to change when change is pressingly needed.

Leaders are often trapped into thinking of uncertainties as insurmountable hardships — threats of harm and loss. This way of thinking leaves us frozen, fearful of the ominous obstacles that have overthrown our ordered ordinary. Unpack what current times are calling for in education and the actions you can take right now to position your school for success.


THIS IS MOST BENEFICIAL FOR:

District leaders, school administrators, principals, school boards, higher education decision-makers, equity advocates, educational nonprofits and associations, edtech organizations and influencers, and other learning and education leaders.

EMPATHY MAPPING A PATH TO EQUITY IN EDUCATION

If our goal is equity, we get there through empathy, and we get to empathy through story.

We are living in what many consider to be the most contentious and polarized climate our nation has ever experienced. Socially and emotionally divided by race, gender, economics, education, religion, politics — even our tastes in masks have become galvanizing forces. 

Together, we’ll examine questions such as: How can we account for our differences and simultaneously celebrate diversity in education? How can we support individuality while modeling equity? And how can we guarantee equitable opportunity in education while ensuring inclusive social climates for all learners?


THIS IS MOST BENEFICIAL FOR:
District leaders, school administrators, equity advocates, human resource and talent procurement specialists, culture capital leaders, educational nonprofits, education policymakers and influencers, parent and student support associations, and other leaders committed to equitable learning environments.
