About The Speaker:
As a dedicated Behavior Change Facilitator, my mission is to empower individuals to produce meaningful change in their lives, there by cultivating a sense of independence and confidence. My journey began with a literal and figurative fall—a severe Traumatic Brain Injury that became the catalyst for my dedication to assisting others in building resilience, and better mental health. Navigating my recovery, I immersed myself in Behavior Design, Motivational Interviewing, and Positive Psychology, adopting scientifically-backed techniques that transformed my own life. This journey led me to work with industry giants like Publicis Groupe, Paramount Studios, and Walmart, all under the Thrive Global banner.
Today, I leverage my expertise to facilitate improved mental health outcomes through evidence-based practices. Invisible Illness & Mental Health Advocate Lifelong Student Brain Science Nerd Recovering Perfectionist & “go big or go home” Enthusiast. I hope you can join me for a fun, interactive workshop where you will learn behaviour change myths that are keeping you stuck andstrategies to to get unstuck, for real!
