I know how much heart and effort you pour into your events. You’re not just planning a conference—you’re creating an experience that brings your members together, inspires your leaders, and leaves everyone feeling energized and connected. My goal is to help make your event unforgettable by delivering a keynote that resonates on every level.

What makes me different?

• I don’t just speak at audiences—I connect with them. Through relatable storytelling, engaging activities, and practical takeaways, I create an experience before, during, and after your event that is both deeply personal and highly actionable.

• I interview several of your members and integrate their stories into the keynote, elevating those in your community along with your theme.

• We give you reporting post-event that captures all of the in-session audience responses in raw and aggregate format. Clients use these for strategic planning and planning topics for future events and offerings.

• I’m not just there for my time on stage. Whether it’s customizing content to meet your event’s goals, hosting virtual kickoff events, staying for social events, or jumping into networking sessions, I’m fully invested in helping your event succeed.

Having partnered with dozens of associations, I understand the unique challenges your leaders and members face, and I tailor every talk to address what matters most to them.

If you’re looking for a speaker who will inspire your audience and make them feel seen, heard, valued and like they matter, I’d love to partner with you. Let’s make it an event to remember!

I speak on topics that help association leaders and members show up with greater engagement, elevated performance, and higher confidence, courage, purpose, and energy—so they can lead with greater intention, influence, and impact at work and in the world.

Popular topics include:

• UNMUTE Yourself: Unleash Clarity, Confidence & Courage to Amplify Your Impact
  This signature talk inspires attendees to stop holding back and step into their full potential, empowering them to grow and advance in their careers, expand their influence, and lead with purpose, authenticity, and impact.

• What Matters Most Now? Reflect, Reframe, Recalibrate
  If you’re looking for actionable inspiration to rise up from challenges, reignite purpose, and elevate engagement, then this session is for you. Discover how to unleash curiosity to navigate change and activate resilience.

• Be the Difference: Amplify Purpose, Passion & Potential in Your People
  This session equips association leaders with the tools to lead with intention, foster deeper connections, and create “be the difference” moments that inspire growth, engagement, and alignment within their teams and members.

• C3: Ignite Your Leadership Impact
  Discover the specific traits of the most effective leaders that build trust, inspire action, drive engagement, and unlock performance. Develop a leadership mindset that balances confidence with humility and action with reflection.

Every event is unique, and I love tailoring my sessions to meet the specific needs and themes of your audience. Let’s talk about how we can create an experience that leaves your attendees inspired, equipped, and ready to take action. For more on that, reach out to me here.

I’ve received compelling quantitative and qualitative feedback from association leaders and members after my keynotes, and am happy to share those with you upon request. Here are some direct quotes from association members who have attended my sessions:

• “The best session I sat through at the conference—interactive, uplifting, powerful, and emotional. I left feeling empowered!”

• "I’ve been to many conferences, but this was the first time I felt genuinely uplifted and equipped to make a change."

• “I went into this session completely in my head and in a very negative, doubting, self-detracting state. I felt like Rachel saw right into my soul and shared advice that I so needed to hear at that moment. With tears streaming down my face I listened to every word. I now feel like I have resources that will give me a path out of the darkness the next time I find myself here.”

• "Your talk was the perfect balance of inspiration and practical tools. I’m excited to bring these ideas back to my team."

• "I walked in feeling stuck and left with a roadmap for how to move forward with confidence."

• "I appreciated how you addressed real challenges professionals face without sugarcoating, but with so much hope and practicality."

• “You may not know you need this, BUT YOU NEED THIS!!”

Always! At the end of every keynote, I share all of the raw data and summary data from your audience that I gather during the keynote, so you can repurpose it for blog content, social media posts, marketing, and strategic planning discussions.

I also offer the audience a variety of resources to continue their learning, including blog posts, podcast episodes, videos, and prompts from the keynote, so they are supported to continue to implement what they’ve learned.
