Speaking, workshops + team support
Questions from event teams, answered.
What organizations usually want to know before booking me. If your question isn’t here, send it over and I’ll answer it directly.
Section one
The work
What topics do you speak on?
Grief literacy, emotional resilience, navigating change, human-centred leadership, workplace empathy, and supporting teams through burnout, loss and transition. My signature keynote is Unscripted Grief™: how we heal when closure never comes.
Do you customize keynotes and workshops?
Yes, always. Every session is adapted to your audience, your event theme and what your organization is actually navigating. I work with your event lead ahead of time so the content is relevant, practical and lands the way you need it to.
What industries do you work with?
Corporations, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, schools and universities, HR teams, leadership groups, wellness departments, and conferences focused on mental health, resilience and human dynamics.
Past clients include lululemon, the Canadian Mental Health Association, and school and retreat audiences across Canada and abroad.
Can you support a team navigating a loss?
Yes. I offer specialized sessions for teams carrying disenfranchised grief: layoffs, job loss, or the death of an employee, leader, client or community member.
These sessions focus on emotional grounding, guidance on what to say, and a safe space for people to process together, so leaders aren’t left improvising through the hardest part.
If something has just happened
Need support for your team this week?
If your organization is in the middle of a loss, a sudden death or a round of layoffs, don’t wait for the usual booking timeline. Reach out and I’ll tell you honestly what I can do and how quickly.

Section two
Planning your event
How long are your talks?
Keynotes usually run 30 to 60 minutes. Workshops run 60 to 120 minutes. Half-day and full-day trainings are also available, and multi-session programs can be built for teams that want to keep going.
Do you offer virtual speaking and workshops?
Yes. Every topic can be delivered virtually through Zoom, Teams or your organization’s preferred platform, and the interactive pieces are designed to work on screen, not just in a room.
Do you travel for events?
Yes. I travel across Canada, the United States and internationally. Travel costs are itemized in your proposal, with no surprises after the fact.
How far in advance should we book?
Most organizations book one to three months ahead, depending on the size of the event. It’s always worth asking, though. If the date is open, I’ll work with a shorter timeline, and I keep room for teams dealing with something urgent.
What is your speaking fee?
Fees depend on the type of event, audience size, how much customization is involved and whether travel is required. Every proposal is itemized, so you can see exactly what you’re approving.

Section three
Logistics and follow-up
Open whichever applies to you.
Do you provide a speaker kit or media materials?
Yes. The kit includes my bio, headshot, an introduction script, topic outlines and promotional materials for your event team. Download the speaker kit.
What are your technical requirements?
For in-person events, I usually need:
- a microphone, handheld or lapel
- a projector or screen, if slides are used
- a quiet, accessible space for workshop participants
A full tech list is provided once your date is confirmed.
Do you offer follow-up support or programming?
Yes. Organizations often book follow-up workshops, small group sessions or resilience trainings to keep the conversation going after the first event, which is usually where the real culture change happens.
Can you create a custom resilience program for our team?
Yes. I design tailored resilience and emotional capacity programs for teams of any size, including multi-session series for organizations moving through a longer season of change.
