Make Someday Today

Closing the gap between dreaming and doing.

In Make Someday Today, Bridget shares how she went from a small-town dreamer to building a global company that sold millions of products and helped more than 60,000 people hear for the first time. Drawing on a survey of 20,589 people, she explores why we postpone what matters and gives audiences a five-step framework for moving from intention to action. They leave knowing what they want to pursue and take their first step in the room.

Audience takeaways
  1. Identify a goal that genuinely matters to them, personally or professionally.
  2. Turn an overwhelming ambition into one action they can take now.
  3. Share what they want and invite others to help them move forward.

Prosper Through Connection

How to invest in relationships to create a culture of belonging and shared success at work.

Research has repeatedly shown that having best friends at work is crucial to employee engagement, job, and overall company success. Yet only 2 out of 10 employees have a friend at work. Told through engaging real life experiences and backed by science, the stories in Prosper Through Connection energize, inspire, and provide the tools and habits necessary for attendees to learn how to build deeper and more meaningful connections with their teams and co-workers, overcome burnout, optimize individual and team performance, and cultivate a culture of community, belonging and wellbeing at both work and home.

This keynote is a fit for any organization large or small looking to bond their team at work through shared goals and reimagine the way they see employee recognition and awards. Includes free 80 page book Prosper Through Connection for every attendee.

Audience takeaways
  1. How to show your people that they’re seen and valued.
  2. How to foster loyalty through meaningful recognition.
  3. How to build a workplace employees won’t want to leave.
