New Episode: A true story that involves ragtime, grief, and grace.


My heartfelt, lesson-earned true story was chosen for a book that helps support others.

I wanted to share a deeply personal story that's a little surreal. It’s featured in a new book called Speechless!, which includes 28 true stories from professional speakers around the world.

My story? It’s about the time I delivered a virtual productivity training…

  • From a nursing home
  • With a surprise ragtime soundtrack
  • While visiting my mother-in-law in hospice.

It wasn’t professional. It wasn’t ideal.

But it reminded me that grace shows up in unexpected ways.

Thanks for listening and taking this short detour away from the usual content. I'm grateful to share this special story with all of you.

P.S. All proceeds from the book go to the National Speakers Association Foundation to support speakers in crisis. It’s a great cause and a powerful (and humorous) read.
