Detailed Biography for Professionals

As a motivational speaker with cerebral palsy and hearing loss, I host presentations to share the positive perspectives and realities of growing up with these challenges and leading a confident, productive life.  Whether we have cerebral palsy, ADHD, or autism, our colleagues and employees need to understand that these are not disabilities as much as they are gifts.


These programs help professionals build employee optimism to champion diversity in the workplace; focus on organizational growth and leadership; and be better prepared for anticipated market trends and professional adversities that can challenge our resilience.

I have hosted diversity, disability awareness, anti-bullying, and leadership workshops at companies and organizations nationwide. I shares uplifting and insightful stories, with two objectives in mind.

First, I want to help others become excited about themselves and what they can do with the right attitude!  Second, the program is framed around the positive perspectives and realities of growing up with my cerebral palsy and a hearing loss, helping professionals bridge the gap that always seems to separate the word, "normal," from "disabled."

Our colleagues and clients come from a variety of racial, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds.  The acceptance of these and other individual traits -- as well as respecting our foibles -- can enhance our collective success.  As stereotyping implies a negative attitude, I share a different perspective: positive reinforcement. 

Those who use positive reinforcement critique rather than criticize.

Positive reinforcement defines us as leaders who critique rather than criticize.
