With more than 31.7 million businesses in the US, can yours be the one that everyone not only wants to do business with but that everyone wants to work for? Can your leaders and teams create massive results in the midst of change, challenge and unpredictability — and keep your team energized, empowered and invested while you are doing that? A company is only as great as the people within that company— so how will you create an environment that brings out the best in your people?

Epic leaders. Epic teams. Epic results.

So how DO we consistently emerge as the best versions of ourselves regardless of the circumstances?

And how do we reflect that greatness in our businesses, our personal lives and in the impact that we have on the world around us?

Those are the two powerful questions that have captivated Meridith from the moment that she realized that, although humanity had figured out how to put a man on the moon, we had still not figured out how to be consistently “happy".

And according to Inc Magazine, “happy” team members are up to 37% more productive than their counterparts so it literally pays to insure that your team is happy.

The desire to understand how to thrive in the midst of overwhelming obstacles propelled Meridith to begin a lifetime of exploration into the art and science of personal development. She calls it “the inner game”.

From studying the works of ancient philosophers Plato, Socrates and Hobbes to religious works of both eastern and western cultures while at Georgetown University, Meridith made it her mission to better understand "how to choose to live (or not live)" if we want to be genuinely happy.

This quest lead her to study the martial art of aikido and its concept of energy (ki), tai chi with its concept of chi and ultimately thought leaders ranging from Tony Robbins and Dr. Joe Dispenza to Law of Attraction's (Abraham) Esther Hicks.

She began studying the untapped power of the mind as it showed up both in science and in spirituality. And she of course took careful notice of how this showed up in her own life -- both where these principles appeared to be "working" and where she seemed to be hitting a wall.

It is one thing to research these concepts and quite another to be faced with a disruption so powerful that your future outcome appears to rest in your ability to successfully implement these strategies.

In 2016, this is exactly what Meridith faced.

In the middle of a busy Friday afternoon, Meridith received the call that her youngest daughter had been crushed by a boulder while on a fellowship in South America. She was not expected to survive.

None of the measurable "outer game" systems that helped her run her business could help her. Her only hope was to tap into the skills and strategies in her inner game. Without hesitation, she declared "game on!"

Today, Meridith has coached hundreds of professionals and corporate leaders to obliterate their own obstacles and show up consistently as that optimal version of themselves.

She shares highlights from this formula in her talk by fusing her own compelling story with real actionable strategies to help leaders understand how can they too can tap into their own grit, resilience and fearless self-empowerment. How they can inspire themselves and their team to perform at a higher, more “epic” level when the stakes are high, change is constant, competition is tough and team members are struggling with roles that feel mundane.

If you are looking for an inspirational, empowering speaker to energize and embolden your team toward a powerful future vision even in the midst of adversity and change, Meridith Alexander will ignite a passion for the "I'm Possible" that will be talked about for months (and years) to come.

"Meridith spoke at our sales meeting and did a fantastic job of combining her life story with the challenges each of us face professionally and personally. At some point in the room there was not a dry eye and her one hour presentation was over in a blink as she was captivating the entire time. I love when people tell a story to relay and relate content and hers is powerful and inspiring. Our group usually has a “sales” speaker, but Meridith did it all with motivation, inspiration, practical tips and a challenge to walk away with. Her communication was incredible throughout the booking process...she responded so quickly and her emails, texts and calls were proactive. Every time I would reach out she was prompt with a response. She also showed up early, which was appreciated. I would highly recommend Meridith and have received such positive feedback from my team on her presentation, content and energy. She was a perfect fit and presenter for our group." April Kalapp FIRST AMERICAN TITLE
