About Rebecca
In a world that demands compliance to achieve success and conformity to secure safety,
Rebecca helps conscientious humans reclaim our agency,
gain the courage to confront systems that don't serve us, and create ones that do.
Relying on her lived experience,
Rebecca shines a light on cracks within systems and institutions
that were supposed to protect and provide--but are not.
With a 25-year career spanning the military,
the law, and the corporate world,
she understands the cost we all pay
when society demands its citizens trade agency for safety
and are made to conform instead of create.
She's here to fix that.
Her keynotes will inspire you to stop waiting for permission,
challenge you to trust your own judgment,
and reframe the way you participate in shaping the world around you.
Audiences leave Rebecca's talks with the shared experience of reimagining
agency, responsibility, and creativity and a renewed passion for how they approach their work.
Book Rebecca to speak if your ready to rethink leadership and civic engagement,
or simply reimagine how we show up for ourselves and each other inside these complex systems.
"You don't win with cards
you wish you had;
you win with the cards you're holding.
Play them with purpose."
