Want your audience to walk away smarter, bolder, and ready to take action?

Let's Talk

Speaking Topics That Actually Hit

I don’t do hype. I do high-impact.

Make Your Case: How to Lead Tough Conversations with the Confidence of a Lawyer

Tough conversations are part of leadership—but most people either avoid them or bulldoze through them. This interactive workshop gives attendees the tools and frameworks they need to prepare for, navigate, and lead high-stakes conversations with clarity and control. 


Rooted in legal strategy, this session walks you through real-world leadership scenarios using my 4 Natural Voices™️ framework.

 

Whether it’s negotiating with a client, giving tough feedback, or addressing conflict on a team, participants will leave with the skills to stop shrinking, start preparing like a lawyer, and make their case—clearly, confidently, and without second-guessing.


Key takeaways include:

  • Identifying your natural communication style—and how others perceive it
     
  • Learning how to shift tone without losing authenticity
     
  • Your customized "case plan" (i.e. your very own customized communication strategy)
     

Best suited for women in leadership, team leads, and client-facing professionals ready to own their voice and speak with purpose.

Redline Like a Lawyer: Contract Tactics Every Subcontractor Needs to Know

Based on 15 years of construction law experience, this practical session teaches subcontractors how to review, redline, and negotiate subcontracts like a pro. 


Using the OWN framework (Optimize, Weigh, Negotiate), attendees learn how to protect profits, reduce risk, and take control of their contracts—without needing a lawyer in the room.


Key topics include:

  • Pay-when-paid clauses and billing traps
     
  • Change order protections and scope creep
     
  • Indemnity and third-party liability
     
  • Delay + disruption clauses
     
  • Termination for convenience


Perfect for subcontractors at any stage—from bidding to closeout.

Choose Your Own Adventure

Want something tailored? Let’s build a session that speaks directly to your audience—contracts, communication, negotiation, persuasion, or leadership strategy.

Booked and Rebooked (for a Reason)
