SPEAKING TOPICS INCLUDE
Harness Your Grit: Unleash Your Potential
Motivational Focus
No one can reach inside the head and heart of each audience member like Helen (in a good way). If you want truly original material, not the same old “I did it so you can too” story, call Helen for your event. She focuses on changing your perception of struggle. It’s not failure or limitation, is the zone where you get gritty.
Life and career transformations start with a crossroad; a place where your aspirations do not line up with your current reality. The gap between you and what you dream about can seem insurmountable, filled with fear, anger, and frustration or worse despair. Helen will touch on that dark place just long enough to reach the deepest part of you, the part that longs for greatness. She explains that grit is the substance created in the friction of your crossroad. With this knowledge, you can move into the empowering, eye opening model of transformation that Helen has invented.
You will feel and know a new reality. Validating, motivating and catalytic. You will stand, clap, laugh and respond to Helen’s passion. She motivates each and every person she encounters to rise to a level beyond their own expectations.
"Thank you for taking the lead keynote at Standing Strong 2020. Your message of unlikely grit is exactly what our audience of leaders and entrepreneurs needed to hear in the new decade.Than you for the humor, insight and guidance you delivered with grace."
Desiree Aragon, Global Manager, Women's Speaker Association
