Engagements

Designed to bring clarity, build coherence, and drive execution—whether through advisory work, team workshops, or keynote experiences.

Executive & Leadership Advisory


A high-trust, one-on-one partnership for individuals who want to perform at their best, make better decisions, and lead with intention—regardless of title or role.

Using proven assessment tools and focused consultation, I help people understand how they are wired, how they operate under pressure, and how their patterns shape performance. The result is clarity that strengthens decision-making, influence, and effectiveness in the work that matters most.

Focus areas include:
  • Self-awareness and decision clarity
  • Understanding strengths, stress patterns, and blind spots
  • Influence, relationships, and impact
  • Performing effectively under pressure, change, and complexity
Team Development Workshops

High-impact, tool-informed sessions that help teams see how they truly operate under pressure—and elevate results when it matters most.

These workshops use proven team assessment tools and skilled facilitation to surface communication patterns, decision dynamics, and leadership behaviors that shape performance in real time. Teams leave with sharper awareness and practical shifts that improve how they collaborate, decide, and execute in demanding environments.

Focus areas include:

  • Team strengths, communication, and decision dynamics
  • Conflict-to-clarity under pressure
  • Leadership behaviors that elevate team performance
  • Performing effectively in fast-moving, high-stakes environments
Keynotes & Events

Clear, compelling, and engaging experiences that help people understand who they are, how they operate, and how that’s working for them—at work and beyond.

These keynotes draw on real-world leadership experience and Human Optimization™ principles to help audiences understand how people actually perform. Designed for full, diverse audiences—not just formal leaders—the focus is practical insight that can be applied immediately to how people think, communicate, decide, and show up in pursuit of meaningful goals. People don’t just leave inspired—they leave with clarity, language, and tools they can apply immediately to elevate performance in life and work.

Common themes include but are not limited to:

  • Wired to Perform
  • Performance Under Pressure
  • Who Are You and How is that Working for You?
  • It Doesn't Start with Why. It Starts with Who.

Selected client feedback

A few words from leaders and teams Becca has supported.
“Becca brought immediate clarity to what was actually holding us back. The work was direct, practical, and it changed how I lead meetings, make decisions, and guide my team. There was an immediate boost in morale, productivity, and collective performance. I can't recommend her services enough.  Let her guide you -- all aspects of your work will be elevated.”

— Executive Leader and Business Owner
“With Becca's guidance, I gained a far deeper understanding of those I lead—allowing me to position people in roles where they can truly thrive. As the CEO of a global organization, I didn’t have the insight, tools, or capacity to see these dynamics on my own. Her work revealed things I would not have uncovered otherwise, and the impact has been felt well beyond our engagement.”

— CEO, Global Organization

“We invited Becca to speak to our top performers, and what she delivered went far beyond motivation. She has a rare ability to make complex human dynamics clear—and to meet people exactly where they are. She didn’t just engage a room of over 100 leaders; she created understanding that translated into action. Our leaders left with insight they could immediately apply, and we saw a measurable increase in sales as a result. I’ve never seen another speaker connect with an audience at this level or drive results this quickly. If you’re looking to elevate performance in a way that actually holds, Becca is the person to put in front of your people.”

— Senior Executive, Global Organization
