She helps people learn to meet their needs for joy so they can give and lead from a place of fullness. She uses her Joy\, NO MATTER WHAT 5-point framework to lay a foundation that will keep audiences in giving and thriving mode. Her speaking clients include PCMA\, CEMA\, MPI\, Northstar Meetings Group\, Northwestern Medicine\, The National Organization for Human Services\, and many others.

She’s the President-Elect of the National Speakers Association of Michigan and was awarded NSA Michigan’s Member of the Year. \nGMC is partnering with WINGS for a Suit and Professional Attire Drive! \n \nThis Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative centers on the collection of business suits and professional attire to support individuals and families connected to WINGS as they rebuild their lives after domestic violence. \nAccess to professional clothing is more than a practical need — it is a powerful tool for confidence\, dignity\, and opportunity. \nDonated items will help stock the Career Closets at both of our Safe Houses\, ensuring residents have immediate access to professional attire for job interviews\, new employment opportunities\, court appearances\, and other important milestones. For many clients\, pursuing employment is a critical step toward long-term safety and economic independence\, and having appropriate attire removes a significant financial barrier. \nOnce the Career Closets are fully stocked and client needs are met\, any additional high-quality items will support WINGS Resale\, generating revenue that directly funds essential programs and services. Every contribution — whether worn by a client or sold to sustain our mission — continues to empower individuals on their path toward stability and self-sufficiency. \n  \nSponsorship Opportunities: \nTake a moment to review the sponsorship prospectus for more details and opportunities available throughout the year.  \nWelcome planners seeking a hosted seat – Planners interested in being hosted can submit a request using our HOSTED PLANNER FORM.  \n  \nThank you to our Sponsors! \n  \nTitle Sponsor: \n \nSignage Sponsor: \n \nPhoto Sponsor: \n \nPhotobooth Sponsor: \n \nMedia Partner:  \n \n  \nA/V Partner:  \n \n  \nDisplay Table Sponsor: \n \n  \nTable Sponsors: \n \n
