Hi, I'M SALLY!
PROFESSIONAL NUDGER
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
IMPERFECT & DETERMINED
COLD PLUNGER ( )
I help big-hearted entrepreneurs & leaders who are ready to...
Be brave ** Kick self-doubt to the curb, & step into the clarity & confidence that's been hiding underneath all along ** Show up as full humans at work, on stage, and in life. ** Embrace the discomfort zone (yes, that sweaty-palmed feeling) because that's where all the growth, impact, and magic happen ** Be a speaker ** Turn their voice into a revenue engine that grows both their bank account and their influence ** Transform speaking dreams into speaking reality through proven systems that actually work (not just "visualize and hope") ** Discover their unfair advantage, that unique blend of story, style, and substance that makes audiences say "I've never heard it put quite like that before!" **
know this:
I might be a professional speaker...
I'm just a regular-ol' Midwestern gal who fell head-over-heels in love with being "up in front of people" before I even understood algebra.
Why?
Because somewhere between the speaker's mic and the audience's ears...
*magic happens*!
Picture this: 9-year-old me, tucked under floral bedsheets, listening to MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech on cassette tape (yes, I'm THAT vintage). There I was‚ middle child, middle of Minnesota, middle of the (very white) suburbs‚ experiencing my first AHA moment as someone else's words transported me into their world.
*I. Was. MOVED.*
but I'm not a special unicorn

karaoke!
When I'm not nudging brave souls toward their next big move, you'll find me:
Raising three teenagers (and collecting evidence that time is, in fact, a thief).
Curled up on the patio with my husband for Netflix marathons.
Raising a glass of wine (or bubbly water) with friends who get my weird jokes.
Belting out karaoke with zero concern for vocal talent but maximum enthusiasm.
Finding any excuse to wear a costume (Halloween is amateur hour, Tuesday works too).
Walking Bailey, our fluffy foot-warmer who is almost certainly under my desk as you read this.
I'm a Virgo, Enneagram 7, ENFP, and my StrengthsFinder top five are Positivity, Woo, Communication, Arranger, and Includer - which basically means I'm an enthusiastic people-person who loves organizing fun things and making sure everyone feels welcome.
Let's do this.
*(And yes, this is an older family photo. Have you tried getting three teenagers in the same frame, all smiling, with eyes open, no strange hand gestures, and everyone agreeing the picture is acceptable for public viewing? I'll wait.)*
