A funny thing happened at the office. Seemingly overnight (well, more like a year or two), some of the habits we knew best became pretty outdated if not completely bizarre.
So let’s talk about it. Really. Nancy’s not just another podium pleaser, she’s wide-awake in the real world and she says what people need to hear now (bosses included). She’s been there, done that, and she wants to help everyone reignite their inner badass and show up different.
The truth is, the secret to good energy at work isn’t in a room. It’s in our minds. Choose Nancy for your next event if you want to re-engage people with entertaining yet pointed thoughts on showing up different. Audiences leave with gratitude, energy, and a little kick in the pants.
Workplaces want motivated employees who take initiative. People want to care about work and contribute to a bigger purpose. Rolling out engagement programs or adding new professional development tracks won’t help. The answer is developing work cultures and personal mindsets that embrace change, accountability, and risk.
In this talk, I inspire people and teams to change their perspectives on work. With humor, humility, and a lot of energy, I reframe hierarchy and power, and focus our attention on the mindsets needed for future-forward workplaces.
Length: 45-75 minutes
Good for: Mixed audience (leadership and staff), keynote, inspiration
Customizable themes: I can focus the talk on particular chapter themes to fit your needs. Themes include kicking your fear in the face, talking like a human, and being kind at work.
We can’t expect people to leave their personal lives or feelings at the door when they come to work, so why we do expect them to? Instead, a work culture should welcome and connect life and work, personal and professional. A culture centered around people — and whole selves — has to be created deliberately and enacted across every level of an organization.
In this conversation, I explore how teams, companies, and employees can cultivate a workplace that is holistically supportive and that feels good.
Length: 45-60 minutes
Good for: Leadership, actionable advice, motivation
Intrapreneurs are invaluable to business today: they enable innovation, grow bottom lines, and introduce new perspectives to established companies. But more than anything, they bring an energy that benefits workplaces. They think independently, take initiative, exhibit ownership, accept their role as leaders, and make decisions.
In this session, I speak to the core attributes of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs and discuss how, and why, to bring these characteristics into your daily work.
Length: 45-60 minutes
Good for: Employees and staff, internal conferences, actionable advice
None of us knows what we’re doing, not fully. Not your CEO, not that person who seems to know everything, not even the smartest person in the room. And yet, some people seem to move through work so confidently, like they aren’t held back by the typical fears many of us have. Like fear of failure or fear of looking dumb. But the thing is: some people let fear get in their way, and others have learned to keep on going in spite of it.
Fear is the four-letter f-word that we rarely dig into because it’s scary and vulnerable. But the only way to deal with it is to face it. In this talk, I walk through five types of fear I see every day in workplaces everywhere and actions you can start taking today to kick them in the face.
