Live Speaker Engagements

Service Description

As a long-term expat, international educator, trauma-informed coach, and founder of McKahsum IndustrYs and Thought-Quest, I bring over a decade of experience in global education, leadership, and personal development to the stage. My work centers on helping people, especially educators, adolescents, and women in transition, cultivate clarity, confidence, and self-leadership. My speaking engagements blend educational insight, neuroscience, and emotional empowerment with real-world strategies for resilience and growth. Each talk is designed to leave audiences feeling grounded, inspired, and equipped to lead from the inside out. I speak to the heart of the human behind the role. Whether you are an expat, a teacher, a leader, or a woman trying to find her voice, my sessions celebrate the tenacity, courage, and connection that comes with transitioning through difficulties in any capacity. Through stories of personal transformation, practical coaching tools, and trauma-aware frameworks, I guide participants to: *Reconnect with their sense of purpose and personal agency *Recognize and heal from negative patterns and burnout *Strengthen emotional literacy and nervous-system awareness *Reframe self-doubt into confident, values-based action *Lead with authenticity, balance, and compassion Whether speaking to a room of teachers seeking renewal, CEOs, entrepreneurs, digital nomads, or women ready to reclaim their voice, my goal is always the same: to create a moment of truth — the kind that softens defenses, awakens courage, and reminds every participant that their presence, purpose, and voice are not optional; they are essential. Topics include, but are not limited to: “The Empowered Educator: Teaching From Wholeness, Not Exhaustion” “Rebuilding Confidence After Burnout” “Adolescence: Identity, Belonging, and the Changing Brain” “Trauma-Aware Leadership in Education and Life” "The Neuroscience of Staff support and its ripple effect on inclusive education" "The Massive Healing: How I went from trafficked and broken to calm and confident." Every keynote or workshop is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your own brilliance — because when learners, leaders, and changemakers of every age rise in self-awareness, the world grows wiser.
