Happy.![]()
Are you aware of what makes you happy?![]()
Can you see it all around you?![]()
Can you imagine it in your mind's eye?![]()
![]()
I help close the gap between where you are and where you want to be....while acknowledging the "happy" you already possess. I primarily do this via hourly advisory sessions where you can get the speaking industry-savvy guidance and "next step" assistance you need to keep moving closer to your "happy."![]()
![]()
For a few select candidates I manage their speaking work. It is an intentionally small, yet mighty crew-- each a "category of one" in their field. Each is incredibly powerful and deeply good.![]()
![]()
Every person I work with I care about as a human being first-- and I learn what is, and is not, important to them. ![]()
![]()
Some are on the verge of a big tipping point in visibility - and need to ensure they have a calm, capable, kind champion in their corner, ready to help them leverage that thrilling event into opportunities.![]()
![]()
Most are frequently approached for speaking- but it is not their primary focus. They need someone to thoughtfully explore the opportunities while preserving good will and their sincerely positive brand.![]()
![]()
20 years into the mix and it STILL lights me up and makes me happy to teach, guide, protect and ignite my clients.![]()
![]()
Many great new contacts percolating from seeds of good will planted years ago.....so exciting. I feel privileged to be sought after by folks I deeply respect.![]()
![]()
I hope you are seeking YOUR happy.![]()

Ryan Holiday has a brand new book that just came out this month. It is called Courage is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave. ![]()
![]()
I connect so deeply with his message-- perhaps you can too? ![]()
![]()
All of us in life are called at various points, big and small, to be brave. ![]()
![]()
To exemplify courage. ![]()
![]()
What you do in those moments matters. And you know it. Sometimes only you know it. ![]()
![]()
I wish you the strength to follow your convictions, your dreams, your inner compass.![]()
![]()
Be brave.![]()
👊👊👊![]()

Saying 'No' is difficult for most of us. ![]()
It certainly is true of our clients.![]()
They love to make others happy.![]()
They are generous.![]()
They are kind.![]()
![]()
Yet they know that if they say ![]()
YES to ALL. The. Things. ![]()
they will not be making their highest contribution to the world and to themselves. ![]()
![]()
We offer a protective cloak around their time and energy.![]()
Preserving it for the things that are a HELL YES.![]()
![]()
When the alignment is not there for our client around a particular paid appearance, we take the pressure off them. We circle back to the person extending the invite and offer a sincere, humble, polite and respectful "no."![]()
![]()
This allows the person bringing the offer to feel seen and acknowledged.![]()
![]()
This allows our client relief from an obligation that did not match with priorities AND relief that we will convey this news in a positive and kind way.![]()
![]()
This allows us to protect our clients time and their positive image with their supporters.![]()
![]()
This art of saying 'no' with kindness is a hallmark of New Leaf. It takes time and intentionality. It is the opposite of abrupt and abrasive. It is is the opposite of transactional and "order-taking."![]()
![]()
Our clients' investment in us- via monthly retainer (if they accept very few paid appearances), commission, or a blend of both, is an investment in positive brand management. ![]()
![]()
We are not the lowest cost option, and neither are our clients. ![]()
![]()
We all value kindness. ![]()
