StoryNotes,Not Keynotes
Real talk. Big ideas.Conversations that shift perspective.
If you're looking for a speaker who doesn't just inspire—but reaches people—you're in the right place.
I don’t deliver polished corporate scripts. I offer StoryNotes—personal, powerful, and purpose-driven talks that weave storytelling, insight, and lived experience. They're crafted to leave a lasting impression, stir the heart, and open new ways of seeing the world.
Each StoryNote is delivered with warmth, humour, and a grounded sense of presence. I bring the audience along for the ride—with stories that feel intimate, ideas that provoke thought, and an approach that invites real change.
StoryNotes I Share.
Here are a few of the StoryNotes I’ve shared with audiences—from leadership teams to intimate community circles:
🌱 Lessons on Living
(That Grief Taught Me)
Grief strips life back to its essence—and in that rawness, we often find what truly matters. This talk explores how loss has shaped the way I live, lead, and love, and offers gentle, grounded insights for anyone navigating change or seeking deeper meaning in their work and life.
🌹 Paving Roads with Rose Fences
The world feels chaotic. We’re walking through uncertainty, upheaval, and a constant hum of disruption. But we still get to choose how we move through it. This is a story-driven reflection on finding the beauty in the mess, staying rooted when the ground is shifting, and being a force for creativity, care, and community—no matter what.
🎨 Life as a Creative Act
When the path ahead feels unclear—or life feels tight, small, or stuck - this StoryNote invites a different approach to next steps. Instead of looking at 'Pros and Cons' or following a formula of someone else's idea of a good life - one simple question opens up possibility like no other.
"What's the most CREATIVE thing I could do right now?"
This StoryNote shares the decision Lisa made to pack her house, remove the kids from school and set off with carry-on backpacks for five months around the world. It's a deeply human take on rebuilding and reinventing from the inside out and is applicable to teams, founders, leaders and parents.
💡 The Power of Story:
Creating Real Connection in a Distracted World
In a noisy world, story still cuts through. Because storytelling is the most human form of communication. Whether you’re leading a team, growing a business, or building a movement—stories connect, inspire, and move people to act. This StoryNote is a combo of big idea generation, strategy and practical application for entrepreneurs and leaders ready to communicate with impact and integrity.
