    That constant feeling that something is off—even w That constant feeling that something is off—even when nothing actually is?That’s not intuition.
It’s stress.Stress keeps pointing out problems that don’t exist yet.
It tells you something is wrong, something is bad, something needs fixing—
even when your life is running just fine.Work is moving.
Things are stable.
Nothing is falling apart.But the nervous system doesn’t care about facts when it’s activated.This video is about noticing that inner commentary
and learning how to step out of it.Because sometimes the most powerful shift
is realizing you’re already okay—and letting yourself live from there.#HumanCenteredLeadership #LeadershipWithHeart #StressAwareness #PresenceOverPressure #WorkplaceWellbeing #FemaleKeynoteSpeaker #CanadianMotivationalSpeaker
    When pressure is high, listening is usually the fi When pressure is high, listening is usually the first thing to go.
Not because we don’t care—but because our brains switch into protection mode.Under stress, we default to confirmation bias.We don’t listen to understand what’s actually happening.We scan for proof that we’re right.
We listen for what supports our position, our goal, or our fear—
and we miss what’s really being said.That’s when we start projecting:
• our agenda
• our assumptions
• our urgencyonto the conversation.And we walk away thinking, “They don’t get it,”
when the truth is—we stopped tuning in.Micro-reset for listening under pressure:
Pause before responding.
Ask yourself: “What am I listening for right now—confirmation or information?”
Then ask one neutral question you don’t already know the answer to.That small interruption brings you back to the moment.
And presence is where real listening—and better leadership—actually happens.#ListeningSkills #ActiveListening #MicroResets #StressHabits #HumanCenteredLeadership #QuietlyDisruptiveLeadership #LeadershipWithHeart #CommunicationSkills #FemaleKeynoteSpeaker #CanadianMotivationalSpeaker
    I’ve had the opportunity to present my new keynote I’ve had the opportunity to present my new keynote Quietly Disruptive Leadership™ five times already this year — and every audience has reminded me why this message matters.This keynote is about the small moments that shape culture more than big speeches ever do.
The pause before you react.
The choice to listen instead of defend.The decision to stop rewarding urgency with immediacy.Real leadership change doesn’t come from pushing harder.
It comes from interrupting the stress habits that quietly run our behaviour — and replacing them with presence, clarity, and human connection.Turns out, the most powerful leaders aren’t the loudest in the room. They’re the ones who know how to reset the room.Grateful for the conversations, the laughter, and the leaders willing to do leadership differently.#HumanCenteredLeadership #LeadershipWithHeart #WorkplaceConnection #FemaleKeynoteSpeaker #CanadianMotivationalSpeaker
    Busyness is the most acceptable form of avoidance. Busyness is the most acceptable form of avoidance.We treat it like proof of importance.
A signal of value.
A shield against uncertainty.When things feel unclear, we accelerate.When discomfort shows up, we drown it in tasks.Work doesn’t become meaningful, it becomes numbing.Not because it matters more,
But because it keeps us from sitting with what we’d rather not feel.Stillness does something different.
It asks better questions.
Busyness just keeps us moving past them.So try this today, quietly.Before your next task, pause and ask yourself:What am I avoiding feeling right now?That single moment of honesty will give you more clarity
Then a perfectly packed calendar ever will.If this makes you uncomfortable, sit with it.
That’s usually where the insight lives.#HumanCenteredLeadership #LeadershipWithHeart #WorkplaceConnection #EmotionalIntelligence #MindfulLeadership #ConsciousLeadership #SelfAwareness #LeadershipGrowth #WorkplaceWellbeing #BurnoutPrevention #FemaleKeynoteSpeaker #CanadianMotivationalSpeaker
    Want to build trust in 10 seconds?Be specific wi Want to build trust in 10 seconds?Be specific with appreciation.Not “Great job.”
Try:
“Hey, the way you handled that upset client with patience really stood out.”Specific appreciation tells people:
I see you.
I notice effort.
You matter here.That’s how trust starts — not with big speeches, but small moments of being seen.#HumanCenteredLeadership #LeadershipWithHeart #WorkplaceConnection #FemaleKeynoteSpeaker #CanadianMotivationalSpeaker
    Old fears don’t disappear. Old resentments don’t e Old fears don’t disappear.
Old resentments don’t expire.They wait — and under pressure, they take over.Now you’re not reacting to this moment.
You’re reacting to an old tone, an old wound, an old story.That’s autopilot.
Your nervous system using outdated information to try to keep you safe.The cost?
You stop being present.
You respond to the past… and the people in front of you feel it.This is why Quietly Disruptive Leadership™ matters.We don’t fix this by getting louder or more intense.
That just triggers more stress.We fix it quietly.A breath before you respond.
A pause before you hit send.
A simple check-in:
“Is this about now… or then?”That calm interruption brings you back to the present — where real leadership happens.This is the work I speak about on stages across North America: helping leaders spot hidden stress patterns and use micro-resets to lead with clarity instead of old emotional history.Quietly disrupt the pattern…
and presence comes back online.#HumanCenteredLeadership #LeadershipWithHeart #WorkplaceConnection #FemaleKeynoteSpeaker #CanadianMotivationalSpeaker
    Did I just get turned down for a speaking gig?Ye Did I just get turned down for a speaking gig?Yes.How do I handle rejection?Well obviously…
I cry in my car at the shopping centre.
Eat a cookie the size of my head.
Question every life decision since 1987.Kidding.Here’s what I actually do.I remind myself how far I’ve come.
I remind myself I’m still in the ring.
You don’t get rejected if you’re not putting yourself out there.Every “no” means I’m showing up.
Pitching. Trying. Growing.Rejection doesn’t mean stop.
It means you’re playing at a level where not everyone says yes.And I’d rather be in the arena getting a few no’s
than sitting safely in the stands wondering “what if.”Rejection is part of being visible.
If you’re getting no’s, you’re in motion. And that counts. 🎤💪#FemaleKeynoteSpeaker #dealwithrejection

    Gratitude is about quietly learning to appreciate Gratitude is about quietly learning to appreciate the life you have, which helps you be present more often.In this video, I share how gratitude works as a Quietly Disruptive Leadership™ practice. It interrupts the stress habit of rushing past your life while chasing the next thing. When you notice what’s already here — moments, people, small wins — your nervous system settles and your attention comes back to now.Presence isn’t something you force. It’s something you return to. Gratitude helps you find the way back.#QuietlyDisruptiveLeadership #HumanCenteredLeadership #WorkplaceConnection #LeadershipWithHeart #FemaleKeynoteSpeaker #CanadianMotivationalSpeaker
