Empower: Strengthen Your Team – For Engineers
Teamwork makes the dream work. Whether you’re a project manager coordinating complex builds, a journeyman following the lead on pipe, tin, or electrical, or handling safety and dispatching, strong teams are the backbone of every successful engineering project. Trust within your team and with clients is essential to smooth operations and delivering quality work. How your team works together, communicates, and supports one another can make or break tight schedules and high-stakes projects.
Drawing on my experience as an engineer for a construction company, competing at the national level in curling, and leading organizations, I share how intentional teamwork, clear roles, and mutual accountability build resilient teams that thrive even under pressure. These lessons translate directly into engineering environments where collaboration across functions, safety, and trust are non-negotiable.
KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR ENGINEERS:
Foster trust and accountability within cross-functional engineering teams to create a strong foundation. Break down silos by applying practical steps that promote a collaborative, high-performing culture. Build resilience into your team to manage and thrive under tight deadlines. Use design thinking principles to understand and optimize team dynamics, driving peak performance and innovation.

Empower: Strengthen Your Team – For Lawyers
Teamwork in law is more than cooperation — it’s the key to excellence. As a patent agent, I was part of a wonderful team with a paralegal and a trademark specialist, and I’ve experienced firsthand the special relationship between an inventor and the person writing the claims. These collaborations showed me that the strongest legal outcomes happen when every team member understands their role, trusts one another, and communicates clearly. High-performing legal teams don’t happen by accident, they’re built with intention.
Drawing on my experience writing and prosecuting patent applications, as well as competing at the national level in curling, I’ll share actionable strategies for building trust, structuring roles, and creating a culture that thrives even under the pressure of deadlines, complex cases, and client expectations. Whether you lead a large firm, manage associates, or work closely with support staff, these principles apply and deliver results.
KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR LAWYERS:
Create trust and alignment across associates, paralegals, and support staff to streamline collaboration. Learn how to structure team roles to minimize errors and maximize productivity while reducing stress. Build a culture where respect and communication thrive — even during high-pressure cases — and apply lessons from elite sports teams to inspire peak performance in your legal practice.

Empower: Strengthen Your Team – For Medical Professionals
As a patient, I will never forget when someone took the time to explain what a hospitalist was — it reminded me how crucial communication and trust are, not just for patients, but within care teams themselves. Healthcare is high-stakes and high pressure, and every decision impacts lives. That’s why strong, intentional teamwork matters more than ever.
Drawing on lessons from elite-level sports and my own journey as a patient, I’ll share practical strategies for building trust, creating clear systems, and fostering a culture where collaboration thrives under stress. Whether you’re in the ER, on the floor, or leading a medical practice, these principles ensure teams perform at their best while maintaining compassion and care.
KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS:
Build a healthy team culture that balances high performance with compassion, ensuring quality care with humanity. Foster trust and reduce miscommunication in fast-paced environments where every second counts. Create systems that help teams support each other under pressure and draw inspiration from elite sports teams to build resilience in healthcare settings.

Empower: Strengthen Your Team – For Women’s Groups
I have lived this experience. You have got to trust your colleagues. Whether in leadership, entrepreneurship, or navigating male-dominated industries, strong teams are built on trust, inclusion, and shared goals. When women support women, we create amazing environments where everyone can thrive! High-performing teams don’t happen by accident, they’re built with intention, empathy, and a commitment to lifting each other up.
Drawing on my journey leading organizations and competing at the national level in curling, I’ll share actionable strategies for building trust, breaking down barriers, and creating team cultures where women’s voices are amplified and respected. When we lead with authenticity and resilience, we not only strengthen our teams — we redefine what success looks like. And that’s powerful.
KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR WOMEN’S GROUPS:
Build supportive, inclusive environments that amplify women’s voices and encourage collaboration over competition. Learn how to inspire teams by modeling balance and resilience, and discover how to create a culture that thrives on shared success and mutual respect. These strategies help women leaders strengthen their influence and empower their teams to achieve more — together.
