Speaking

Hi, I’m Amber.

Count on me to deliver dynamic opening keynote experiences that seamlessly connect branding with internal culture and customer experience. I'll equip attendees with the clarity and confidence to own their value, seize opportunities, and position themselves for remarkable growth—all while building an undeniable edge in their industry. And maybe I cause a little ruckus! Imagine opening keynote dancers, drum lines, gospel choirs, singer-songwriters and the like helping me kick off your event, creating FOMO like woah!

Opening keynotes set the tone for the entire event, and I. Am. Ready.

Through my speaking, consulting and programs, I help you:

  • Define your unique value and voice,
  • Protect your energy and assets,
  • Sharpen your positioning in crowded markets,
  • And strategically leverage your relationships and reputation to drive growth.

With a no-nonsense, high-impact, and emotionally resonant approach, I deliver clarity, confidence, and conversion.

I create winners. 

A little ruckus never hurt anyone.

never hurt

High-performing leaders, founders, and brands come to me to clarify their edge, elevate their influence, and convert visibility into tangible business results—using emotionally intelligent brand strategy, proven real-world frameworks, and AI-enhanced tools.

More About Me

Your audience deserves more than just someone talking at them.

They deserve an experience.

Beyond the Keynote

Want to work with me offstage?

Let’s build a brand experience that wins.
Your brand is so much more than a logo, fonts or colors. It’s an energy. It’s what your customers, employees, investors, bankers, industry members, community leaders, government officials and audiences feel when they interact with you.

Are you delivering an experience that connects with each of them or are you going the cheap vanilla ice cream, baked chicken with no seasoning route for your brand?

If you’re still treating your brand like a one-size-fits-all formula, you’re leaving money, talent and influence on the table. The stakes are too high not to have a custom strategy that aligns your brand experience with your operational goals, not to mention maximizes and humanizes the AI tools that are quickly stripping away originality.

Lucky for you, business is my sport. So let’s win.

I work with fast-scaling or evolving businesses and high-performing leaders to ensure brand consistency across every interaction, whether focused on your personal brand, business brand or employer brand. Here’s how we can work together:
