About
I am a great fit for events looking for a speaker who challenges the idea that leadership begins later in life and instead shows what is possible when children are trusted with responsibility now. As a mother of four and the founder of The Society of Child Entrepreneurs, I bring real-world experience working with children ages 6–17 who are launching businesses, managing money, and learning resilience through hands-on experience. I do not speak in hypotheticals. I share what I see work every day with kids, families, and communities. I am a strong choice for audiences that want practical insight, not just inspiration. My talks blend storytelling with clear takeaways that educators, parents, and leaders can apply immediately. I help audiences rethink how they support confidence, leadership, and growth in young people. I am especially well-suited for events that value fresh perspective, honest conversation, and a belief that children are capable of meaningful leadership right now.
Children Are Not the Future
This talk challenges the widely accepted belief that leadership begins later in life and invites adults to examine how their systems, expectations, and habits shape children’s confidence and initiative right now. Through real stories and practical reframing, audiences explore what becomes possible when children are trusted with real responsibility and meaningful leadership today.
Entrepreneurship as a Life Skill
Entrepreneurship is not about starting companies, but about learning how to notice problems, take initiative, adapt through failure, and create value. This talk explores how entrepreneurial thinking builds confidence, resilience, and leadership in children by giving them real-world experiences that teach responsibility, decision-making, and growth through action.
When Girls Build Business
Girls often receive mixed messages about leadership, confidence, and risk. This talk examines how entrepreneurship can become a powerful tool for helping girls develop agency, voice, and self-trust by creating spaces where they are encouraged to lead, experiment, fail, and succeed on their own terms.
