As an award winning professional speaker I share my highly unique and inspirational story of a horseback riding accident that resulted in a diagnosis of completely disabled and becoming 1 in 60 people to be diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome. The story of how I woke up with a Scottish brogue—after living in Canada all of my life—is not something you hear about every day.

Now as a professional speaker, my expertise is in strategies to "calm the chaos" we create in our lives as we balance work, home and keep up with our demanding schedules. My engaging and humourous presentation focuses on tools and tips to step off the crazy treadmill of "overwhelm" and the stress our busy lives create.

Your group will gain the most effective, fast and proven ways to calm the chaos for focus and results in my B.E.S.T. practices for mental fortitude in the midst of stress and chaos. "Changing your mind really does change everything" and I will create focus, clarity and optimal productivity for each member of your team.
