WHAT DO I TALK ABOUT?
I’m a best selling author and nationally recognized leader for women’s empowerment. As a frequently cited expert on women and power, politics, worklife, health, media, and intergenerational concerns, my speeches and seminars have inspired many thousands of participants while delivering practical leadership skills. Recent speech topics:

WHAT MAKES ME AN EXPERT ON THESE TOPICS?
My most fourth and most recent book, No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power was 18 months in the writing but represents a lifetime of experience. Each of the 9 Ways contains a lesson and a “power tool” delivered through inspiring stories, interactive discussion, and solid information.

People Magazine called me “the voice of experience.” My expertise comes from frontline movement leadership and executive responsibility as former president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America; my passion for helping women to lead unlimited lives is rooted in personal experience as a teen mom with limited resources and little power. I’m a professor of practice at Arizona State University where I teach a course called “Women, Power, and Leadership.” Read what people say about my speeches.

Are you are looking for a dynamic keynote speech on women, power, or leadership that will bring people to their feet? A panel, or an experiential seminar that engages, enlightens, and motivates? I work with you to tailor the presentation to your objectives. And I do it with heart and a dash of humor–I like to enjoy myself, too.
