Enlighten and Empower Your Audiences
When I am speaking to an audience, there are moment when I feel the energy in the room shift. Something deeply resonates. I live for those moments because so many people approach me afterwards and tell me how relieved they are that I said “it’s okay to do just one thing.” When people are empowered to do one thing, they will, inevitably, do many more. They will become change agents that drive positive impact in their organizations.
" I have been to so many of those calls, meetings, webinars, etc..., especially over the past few months, but yours was different. You provided actionable solutions that can be applied now. You also brought up how "it" does not have to be climate or sustainability, per se. I cannot begin to thank you for sharing your journey with others. I am re-invigorated, inspired, and enlightened! Thank you, you are the true definition of a role model!"
Custom Gifts for Your Audience

Keynotes and Sessions
As an OG Change Maker, I galvanize audiences to take action! I do this in a way that is approachable, practical, and dynamic. I connect the dots of why, what, and how on a wide range of social and environmental topics. My talks easily transcend industries and have an overall vibe of organizational transformation.
"I recently attended a conference with multiple speakers including Aurora. I have heard many presentations on sustainability recently, so I was not sure I needed to attend her segment. Much to my surprise I was absolutely captivated! Not only was the content fresh and relevant, but her delivery was unscripted, thoughtful and engaging. I felt completely enlightened!"
