Your People = Your Power Keynote
Building a Supportive Network that Lasts
About The Keynote
Behind every successful, fulfilled person is a network of people who have their back. Yet too often, we find ourselves surrounded by people but deeply disconnected — relying solely on our own hustle and grit to get ahead.
Your People = Your Power is a high-energy, interactive keynote that shows audiences how to move beyond the myth of self-sufficiency and start building a truly supportive network — one rooted in mutual trust, aligned values, and genuine connection.
Audience Takeaways
In this session, participants will learn how to:
Ditch the “do it all yourself” mindset that leads to burnout and isolation
Reconnect with themselves to clarify who they are and what they truly want
Show up authentically so the right people can find and support them
Find common ground to build relationships that go beyond surface-level networking
Nurture and leverage their network using practical, repeatable strategies
The Overlap Method™ Framework
This keynote introduces my signature 3-step framework for building lasting, aligned relationships:
Know Yourself – Get clear on your values, goals, and what’s in your “circle” so you can attract the right people
Show Yourself – Identify your people, go to them, and let yourself be seen through alignment, visibility, and vulnerability
Seek the Overlap – Build mutual support through shared values and consistent connection, and learn how to ask for (and offer) help
