From News Anchor to Next Chapter Catalyst

No Knowledge Is Ever Wasted

Connecting your life’s experiences to write your next chapter

You know more than you think! No knowledge or experience is ever wasted. Too often we hesitate to step out of our comfort zone and create our next chapter because we don’t know how, we are afraid, or we are unsure how to connect the themes and patterns of our lives.

What would any of us do if we didn’t allow fear to stop us?

In this deeply personal keynote, Liz shares her journey from music teacher to Emmy-winning journalist to CEO, guiding audiences to recognize that every step they’ve taken holds value. Her message will guide you to discover what themes exist in your journey, how to connect those dots, and how to break any patterns that may be holding you back from following your destiny and living your best life. Audiences will walk away with a renewed sense of direction and the tools to build their next chapter with clarity, courage, and purpose.

Communicate, Connect, and Engage

How to capture your audience’s attention with storytelling

Every day, we are bombarded with “information overload!” What cuts through the noise and captures people’s attention is powerful storytelling. Every person, no matter what profession or industry, needs to exude confidence, presence, and communicate effectively.

By incorporating “Liz’s 4 C’s,” – Confidence, Content, Clarity, and Conversational – for any presentation, pitch, or speech, and her innovative “Brunner Methodology for Practicing,” your audience will learn how to craft their story, the science behind why storytelling works, and how to be seen and heard with confidence, presence and command.

Be the Leader Within

How to cultivate leadership skills that meet the moment

No one is born knowing how to lead. We learn how to be a leader. With so much uncertainty in the world, leaders face challenges and complexities requiring a renewed commitment to flexibility, resilience, and innovation.

In this keynote, Liz offers guidance that will inspire audience members to unleash the leader within and invite others to refine their own leadership skills. Your audience will learn how to have influence, what it takes to be an authentic leader, the difference between being a manager and a leader, and how to discover their leadership philosophy for stronger teams, effective decision-making, and long-lasting impact.
