Speaking

Have Voice, Will Travel

In my childhood my brothers nicknamed me “Chatty Kathy”. I do like to talk. I’d love to talk to your group. I’ve spoken at conferences, retreats, workshops, and classes for groups as small as a handful to as large as several hundred.

Below are a few topics I’ve spoken on before. Whether your group and your budget are large or small I will work with you to find a topic and plan that works for you. I specialize in helping churches and non-profit organizations become as effective as possible with the resources available.
