Speaking
I believe the most powerful talks don’t sound like speeches. They feel like conversations you’ll keep thinking about on the way home. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved using my voice to tell stories that make people feel something. Speaking gives me the chance to turn lived experience into lessons, to take the messy in-between moments and turn them into meaning.
Engaging With Intentional Purpose
I don’t speak just to share what I’ve learned. I speak to help others feel seen in their own journey. Because the truth is, we’re all trying to figure it out. And sometimes, we just need to hear someone say it out loud first. There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when people come together to listen, reflect, and grow. My style is rooted in storytelling, full of heart, and always open to the real conversations in between. I want audiences to walk away not just inspired, but more empowered and aligned with who they are and what they want to create.

Shelby is one of the most hardworking and passionate people I know. When she has a vision she uses every possible resource to achieve her goals. Communication and creative storytelling come naturally to her. She can captivate with both words and her kind heart. I am lucky to have been able to work beside her and under her as I have learned from Shelby both professionally and personally. Anyone who comes in contact with Shelby will leave with a smile and a feeling of encouragement.
