Looking for a speaker for your next event, meeting, retreat, or conference? I’d love to talk with your group.
I’ve sat on panels, taught full-day classes, designed two-hour writing workshops, and led planning sessions for corporate teams. I also speak to church groups, women’s ministries, and book clubs about finding your footing again after a hard season. Whether your audience is 12 people in a Sunday school room or 300 in a hotel ballroom, I bring practical takeaways and a story or two they’ll remember.

Talks and workshops
These are the sessions I give most often. Each one can run as a 45-minute talk or a hands-on workshop, and I’m happy to tailor it to your group.
Time to Rejoice
For churches, women’s groups, and retreats. Drawing on my Time to devotional series, I share what Scripture says about renewing your mind after you’ve been laid off, let down, or knocked off course, and how to find real joy on the other side.
The Write Story
An interactive storytelling workshop for communicators and leaders. I teach my C.A.R.E. approach to content, so your audience will catch, absorb, remember, and execute what you tell them.
The Productive Writer
How do writers get more done without burning out? Practical tips on mindset, environment, and tools, from someone who wrote four books while working full time.
Build Your Brand
For authors and small business owners who can’t find time to work on the business because they’re too busy working in it. How to build a brand that draws the right readers and customers to you.
