Keynote Speaker

Kathy began her speaking career in the business world. Through years of regular speaking engagements to audiences of many, she gained a wealth of knowledge and a dynamic speaking ability. Despite her resounding success, what really defined Kathy was her kindness, enthusiasm, and genuine desire to make a difference in the life of every single person she met. She shifted her public speaking genre to coincide with the message of her life – spreading joy and kindness – by using her book “All That I Had” as the tool.

“My goal is for the audience to feel inspired and want to make a change for the better,” Kathy admitted.

She achieves this by personalizing every presentation she delivers. “I always spend time with the client beforehand and find out more about them, their goals, their people, their culture, then incorporate their language into the presentation so that they can achieve their desired outcome.” Although the presentations are unique to each speaking engagement, they all have a similar idea behind them – the powerful message of kindness, love, and sacrifice that should be lived out by people in all situations and places and at all levels of life.
