My Optimal Path offers keynotes, workshops, breakout sessions, facilitated conversations, and customized professional development experiences for organizations, associations, conferences, and teams.

Topics frequently center around leadership, performance, relationships, intentional career development, discipline, consistency, client experience, resilience, work-life harmony, and creating success by design.

Every engagement begins with the same question:

What do you want people to think, feel, or do differently when they leave the room?

Speaking topics can be customized around the needs of the audience, but many of our programs explore themes including intentional success, leadership, career development, relationship building, discipline and consistency, confidence, resilience, client experience, and designing a career and life around what matters most.

We also offer industry-specific presentations for mortgage, real estate, financial services, sales, and leadership audiences.

Yes.

We don't believe in changing the logo on the first slide and calling a presentation customized.

We want to understand who will be in the room.

What are they experiencing? What matters to them? What challenges are they facing? What language will resonate? What does the organization hope they take away from the experience?

That context allows us to tailor stories, examples, exercises, and takeaways so the presentation feels relevant to the people actually sitting in the audience.

A keynote is typically designed to create perspective, energy, reflection, and a memorable central message.

A workshop goes further into application.

Participants have more opportunity to examine ideas, work through exercises, discuss challenges, practice concepts, and determine how they'll use what they've learned.

Sometimes the most powerful experience combines the two: a keynote that creates the shift in thinking followed by a workshop that turns that thinking into action.

Absolutely.

In fact, we encourage it when the format allows.

People retain more when they have an opportunity to connect an idea to their own lives, careers, or businesses.

Breakout conversations, individual reflection, interactive exercises, live coaching, audience participation, and facilitated discussion can all be incorporated depending on the size and format of the event.

We don't want people simply listening.

We want them thinking about what the message means for them.

Yes.

Depending on the engagement, we can develop worksheets, reflection guides, implementation tools, discussion questions, or participant handouts that reinforce the presentation.

These materials give attendees somewhere to capture what they're learning—but more importantly, they give them something to return to after the event.

Because the best takeaway from a presentation shouldn't be a photograph of a slide.

It should be something you can actually use.

Yes.

Speaking engagements and workshops can be delivered both virtually and in person.

Virtual sessions are designed specifically for the virtual environment and can include chat participation, breakout discussions, reflection exercises, volunteers, polls, and other interaction to keep participants actively engaged.

Yes—and this can be an especially effective way to extend the impact of an event.

A keynote can introduce an idea and create momentum. Follow-up workshops, leadership sessions, group coaching, or individual coaching can then help participants apply those ideas to their own work.

For organizations looking for more than a one-day experience, we can design an engagement that carries the conversation forward.

The earlier, the better—particularly for in-person events that require travel.

However, availability varies throughout the year, so we encourage you to reach out even if your event is approaching quickly.

We'll let you know what's possible.

You don't need a perfectly developed plan.

If you know your approximate date, audience, event format, and what you'd like people to walk away with, that's enough to start the conversation.

We'll help you think through the rest.

Start by telling us about the event.

We'd love to know who will be in the room, what you're hoping to accomplish, and what would make the experience meaningful for your audience.

From there, we'll explore the topic, format, timing, customization, and additional resources that would create the right experience.

Because a great presentation shouldn't end when the speaker leaves the stage.

It should change what happens next.
