Your Life, Unlimited: The Ultimate Quest for Your Personal Best

In a world where demands keep growing and energy keeps shrinking, your ability to revitalize yourself is no longer a luxury — it’s a leadership skill. This transformational keynote helps busy, change-fatigued professionals reconnect with their purpose, reignite their motivation, and remember why their work (and their life) matters. Blending psychology, practical strategies, memorable stories, and a healthy dose of humour, Stephanie guides audiences through the essential mindset shifts and micro-actions that make a meaningful difference in everyday wellbeing.

Participants will explore how to boost resilience, create better boundaries, strengthen relationships, and make small, deliberate choices that lead to big, lasting improvements. Whether your people are feeling stressed, stretched, or simply ready for “what’s next,” this session offers a refreshing reset — a reminder that revitalization isn’t about doing more; it’s about reconnecting with what helps you be your best, at work and at home. Participants will recognize the invisible drains on their time, energy, and joy, reinspire their sense of purpose and personal leadership, reengage with their strengths, values, and sources of meaning, reconnect with colleagues to build more supportive relationships, and apply actionable tools that enhance daily wellbeing and long-term vitality.

A revitalizing keynote or workshop for teams who want to feel better, lead better, and live better.

Have you ever hit 10:30 a.m. and thought, “How is this day not over yet?”
Do you work with people who seem determined to find the negative in any situation — even the good ones? Ever feel a tug inside that says, “There must be something more… but what?” You’re not alone — and you’re not stuck.

Bring Your ‘A’ Game to Work & Life is Stephanie’s uplifting, perspective-shifting signature program that helps busy professionals refresh their energy, re-engage their mindset, and reconnect with what truly matters. Infused with humour, heart, and real-world tools, this keynote/workshop series draws on her 5 foundational “A Strategies” — simple, memorable actions that help people show up as their best selves, even when life feels messy, stressful, or overwhelming.

Participants learn not only what it takes to W.I.N. (“What’s Important Now?”), but exactly how to apply these strategies in daily life. Expect laughter, self-reflection, practical insights, and those “I really needed to hear that today” moments.

What to do when it does… and when it doesn’t!

Based on Stephanie’s uplifting book of the same name, When Enlightening Strikes is a transformative keynote designed to help people move from merely surviving to absolutely thriving — even when life, work, and circumstances refuse to cooperate. We all crave those lightning-bolt moments of clarity, motivation, and inspiration… but what about the days when the sky is stubbornly clear and the sparks just won’t fly? This keynote explores both realities — the breakthroughs and the breakdowns — and reveals how to create a mindset that welcomes possibility, builds resilience, and fuels uncommon success.

With her signature blend of humour, heartfelt storytelling, psychosocial wellness expertise, and practical tools, Stephanie guides audiences toward a mindset shift that sticks long after the session ends. She shows that “enlightenment” isn’t something you wait for — it’s something you can create, cultivate, and call on when you need it most.

Participants will learn how to create their own moments of insight rather than waiting for inspiration, navigate uncertainty, setbacks, and dry spells with greater resilience and less self-judgment, shift from reactivity to intentionality by rewiring draining mental habits, apply simple everyday practices that build clarity, confidence, and courage, and develop a mindset that thrives under pressure, adapts to change, and stays open to possibility.

Perfect for leaders at every level — from emerging supervisors to seasoned executives.

In today’s high-pressure, always-on world, even the most dedicated leaders can lose their spark. Fatigue, change fatigue, competing priorities, and constant demands can chip away at the energy and enthusiasm needed to lead with clarity and heart. Inspired Leadership is a refreshing, story-rich, and highly practical session designed to help leaders rekindle their purpose — and learn how to ignite that same spark in the people they serve.

During this uplifting and interactive program, Stephanie shares simple, science-informed strategies to boost morale, strengthen connection, and help individuals feel seen, valued, and appreciated. Participants will learn how to inspire genuine motivation rather than compliance, how to create psychological safety and belonging, and how to cultivate a leadership presence that people naturally want to follow. They will leave with immediately actionable ideas to increase hope, happiness, and meaningful engagement — at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Participants will learn how to tap into personal motivation to stay energized and focused during challenging seasons, apply practical tools to inspire and uplift their teams, build stronger relationships that enable collaboration, trust, and shared success, foster a culture where people feel valued, heard, and excited to contribute, and lead with authenticity, optimism, and purpose regardless of circumstances.

Because Curiosity Isn’t Just Cute — It’s a Superpower.

Based on Stephanie’s book The “Try” Angle, this lively, laughter-filled keynote is perfect for anyone with a heartbeat, a to-do list, and a desire for “just a little more” in life. The Try Angle philosophy teaches audiences how to shift from knee-jerk resistance to thoughtful curiosity — a change that opens doors, strengthens relationships, sparks innovation, and reduces fear of the unknown. Through memorable stories and practical tools, Stephanie helps participants explore what becomes possible when they approach challenges, changes, and people from a new angle — one that encourages openness rather than avoidance.

Participants will discover how curiosity dismantles barriers and builds courage, practice reframing first reactions to new ideas, tasks, and people, build confidence to try, experiment, and stretch beyond comfort zones, and leave energized, amused, and ready to say “Why not?” more often.
