Venturing out into Speaking Engagements
Over the last two years, I have reflected on my passions of joyful leadership, school culture, social emotional learning, and adult learning. People have contacted me for various speaking opportunities like keynotes, conference sessions, and professional learning for educators. I have decided to step out of my comfort zone and place my toes in the water!
