It's no secret that we've lived through one of the most difficult times in history. We can likely all agree that we’re ready to have a new conversation. One that focuses on what’s next…and that’s asking yourself how do I live a kick-ass life? 

Andrea draws on her experience playing roller derby as “Veronica Vain” to bring you this motivational keynote chock full of tools around overcoming your fears.

• Learn the best imaginative tool to try on to go from feeling afraid to take action on something that scares you– to feeling like a legend in your own mind. This is the tool that the vast majority of derby players use.
• Using a metaphor around what we call “falling safely” in derby, I give scripts, examples, and stories around language to use in order to create a safe environment to make mistakes and experiment with things in life that might be anxiety inducing.
• We tend make things hard and create drama with our thoughts, mindset, and stories we make up around our fears. Using the metaphor of toe stops on skates, I ask you three powerful questions to take with you to change your life, just like using your toe stops and still making it look easy.

Results: Key takeaways will be inspiration and motivation, as well as ways to bypass any fears around taking action on steps that will take your work (and life!) to the next level. They’ll also get strategies to ask for what they want with confidence, kindness, and professionalism.

Best audiences:
Trainings, corporate events, women's conferences

The impact of the pandemic, social unrest, division of ideologies and relationships over the last few years has taken its toll. Many people have adopted unhealthy coping mechanisms or leaned in even more to the ones that existed in their behaviors already just to be able to handle life. Too much drinking, impulsive spending, sleeping too much or too little, isolating, avoiding everything and everyone, and more. Andrea has been speaking and working with clients on this topic for over a decade, wrote a book about it, has overcome her own addictions and negative coping mechanisms, and brings you solutions into this keynote. 

Mental health matters, and especially to the Millenial and Gen Z workforce where this is often a non-negotiable for them. Topics like these need to be talked about and practiced more than ever. 

• Trust and believe that you can change your behaviors. It won’t be linear, but it will go in a positive trajectory. 
• Identify the root problem. We think it’s about the overspending, drinking too much, or avoiding, but it’s not; those are just symptoms. Determine what yours are so you can make progress in the right direction. 
• Practicing compassion and kindness with yourself are the pathways to kicking ass in your life and work. It may seem counterintuitive to some, but the more self-compassion you have, the more success you’ll have as well. 

Results: Audience members will walk away with simple but impactful key learnings to begin to move away from unhealthy coping mechanisms that are keeping them in a cycle of being stuck, and making them feel terrible about themselves. This will help them move towards better, more success driven ways of coping, so that they can create better, more positive personal and professional habits. 

With seven years experience facilitating the Daring Way™ modality (based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown), Andrea pulls from her training and experience in shame resilience and resilience in general. Your audience will walk away with science-backed tools to bounce back quicker in times of turbulence.*

Best audiences:
Associations, Women’s Conferences

Challenges and struggles will always be a part of work and life, and the key to thriving during these times is resilience.

• Understand clearly that your life challenges are invitations to your best and most tremendous life.
• Build superior mental stories so that you can quickly see when your inner narratives are holding you back and learn to create more empowering ones.
• Recognize your values, so you’re clear on what’s important about the way you live your life, and have a “map” to help you navigate life’s challenges.

Results: Audiences will leave this keynote or workshop with renewed enthusiasm for what makes them stronger and wiser, research-driven tools on both how to master their mindset, as well as dependable strategies to help them re-navigate when they get “lost”.

Best audiences: Conferences, Direct Marketing, Company Retreats

Shame is pervasive and universal. Unchecked, it bleeds into our relationships, jobs, families, and our self-confidence. Trained and certified in The Daring Way™ (methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown), Andrea has created this interactive workshop to help you quickly recognize when shame is in control, so that you can move through it and come out better on the other side.

• Recognize your own triggers so you know exactly when they happen to prevent you from acting against your values. 
• Break down the four steps of shame resilience so that you can move through any sticky situations that might keep you stuck.
• Understand the process in asking for everything you want so you can create more confidence, make more money, and get what you want.

Results: Key takeaways will be massive self-awareness around one of the biggest and most unconscious ways we behave that moves us out of alignment of our values. Audiences will also get steps to identify when they're in shame and how to navigate it in a healthy way.

Andrea was a DREAM to work with. We were seeking a panelist who could speak to women about resilience and snapping back from life’s many setbacks, and Andrea was nothing short of excellent. She was relatable, engaging, professional, and a hell of a lot of fun to have on our medical aesthetics device panel. The crowd of 40+ people were captivated by Andrea’s knowledge and openness about her personal journey, and loved speaking with her one-on-one once the panel concluded. We can’t wait to work with her again!

I wanted to email to tell you that you have changed my life forever. In 2019, you spoke in front of Pure Romance Consultants in Las Vegas. I was one of those consultants. It was at that moment I found a woman, a coach, that I connected with, you. After I got back from Vegas, I devoured your content with such ferocity that I was instantly able to make important changes within myself. You helped me confirm I had found my purpose! My soul is at peace and settled. I am ready and excited for one amazing adventure; the good, the bad, the joy, and the tears. All of it! Thank you for being a light in the world. Because of you, I was able to put a name to my purpose. You rock and are an inspiration.
