“Stories stick
and inspire change.”

I love to talk.

I also love to tell stories. Stories stick and if they’re relatable, they’re more effective at inspiring change than corporate speak or platitudes.

I believe my story can inform your story. Along these lines, this site provides resources for you, including:

- My quarterly DEH Speaker Series that is webcasted live and recorded
- My podcast, Inspiration Loves Company - Tune in for new episodes on the third Wednesday of each month
- Venues where I am a public speaker in the US and abroad
- Popular speaking topics and articles I have authored
- Press features, video clips and highlights of my work
- My DEH network and how to join to receive links to current writings, events, press features, job opportunities, and future happenings

If you like what you see, perhaps you’ll recommend me as a speaker at an event you’re hosting or hire me for a consulting engagement where you or a colleague needs help. Most of all, I hope the information you find here will motivate you to make things better for you and those around you. I also hope you enjoy your stay, let me know what you think, and come back to visit often.

For more than 20 years, I’ve focused on three major areas for my public speaking:

Entrepreneur, Author & Speaker
Hi. I’m a lawyer turned entrepreneur, author, and speaker with expertise in careers, women, workplace dynamics, and law. For over 20 years, I’ve advised clients and spoken at private retreats, public venues, and conferences. My international work has brought me to wonderful places including Paris, Madrid, Vienna, The Hague, London, and more. I’ve also been fortunate to have hundreds of news outlets feature my work including The New York Times, NBC Nightly News, The Wall Street Journal, and, National Public Radio. Among my favorite things to do is host the DEH Speaker Series and the podcast, Inspiration Loves Company, where I invite thought leaders to explore how to do and be better at life, work, and everything in between.
