It’s not about who you know, it’s about what they’ll do for you.
(Because collecting business cards is for amateurs)

P.S. Still reading? Good. That means you’re serious about this. Let’s connect and make some real change happen.
Look, we all know networking isn’t just about adding another LinkedIn connection or swapping business cards at happy hour. It’s about building real relationships that actually move the needle. And if you’re not doing it with purpose? You’re just wasting everyone’s time.
Come say hi.
Unity Week 2024 – Washington, DC
November 13 at 3:45 p.m.
Your Network Should Work as Hard as You Do
Join me at Unity Week, where the nation’s leading business diversity organizations come together to create actual change, not just talk about it. I’ll be breaking down how to transform those “nice to meet you” moments into partnerships that drive real results.
Why this Session Matters Right Now
The business landscape is changing faster than your Instagram feed. Diversity, equity, and collaboration aren’t just buzzwords anymore – they’re business imperatives. In this session, you’ll learn how to:
- Turn surface-level connections into powerful partnerships
- Make strategic decisions about which organizations actually deserve your time
- Create marketing strategies that reflect your authentic purpose (and get results)
- Build a network that works for you, not the other way around
Who Needs to Be Here
- Leaders who are tired of superficial networking
- Organizations looking to make real impact in diverse communities
- Professionals ready to leverage their connections for positive change
- Anyone who wants to stop collecting business cards and start building something meaningful
Why Listen to Me?
I’ve spent 17 years building 8THIRTYFOUR into Michigan’s only Forbes Top 200 PR firm, and I didn’t do it by playing small. I’m a regular on the national speaking circuit, from WIPP National to Women in Defense National, because I deliver actionable insights, not just inspirational fluff.
But here’s the real deal: I’ve been in the trenches. As Chair of WIPP’s Leadership Advisory Council and Communications Director for Michigan Women in Defense, I’ve turned my passion for supporting underrepresented communities into tangible action. And I can show you how to do the same.
Let's Work Together
Whether you need a keynote that actually moves people to action or training that transforms how your team approaches networking, I’ve got you covered.
Speaking Topics that Don't Suck:
- Marketing with Purpose: Beyond the Buzzwords
- Building Networks That Actually Work
- Strategic Organization Involvement (Because You Can’t Join Everything)
- Turning Connections into Impact
Training & Development (For Teams That Want to Level Up):
- Team Development Workshops

Want to catch me in action first? Join me at Unity Week 2024 in Washington, DC, November 12-14. I promise it’ll be worth your time.
