THE KEYNOTE

Your Body Keeps Score: Lessons in Resilience When Life Won't Slow Down

A keynote that gives your team permission to be human while still showing up - and practical lessons about protecting your energy before your body forces you to stop.

This isn't another "bounce back" resilience talk. This is about what happens when life doesn't slow down - when you're navigating divorce while crushing quarterly goals, going through medical treatment while leading your team, dealing with loss while everyone expects you to still show up.

Sharon shares what she learned when her body literally forced her to stop - and how to protect your energy before yours does the same.

When you book Sharon to speak, your audience will: 

  • Feel seen in their struggles and validated in their humanity 
  • Receive practical lessons from real-world challenges 
  • Walk away with renewed perspective on what resilience actually looks like 
  • Remember that showing up doesn't mean performing through crisis 

your team needs to hear this.

Your audience will:

REalize that...

  • Their mind and body are more resilient than they think, but need permission to heal 
  • High performance can mask what's really happening underneath 
  • Work can be an anchor without becoming their entire life raft

Discover they can...

  • Be human AND show up professionally 
  • Protect their energy without sacrificing their impact 
  • Navigate life's hardest moments and still write new chapters 

have the ability to...

  • Connect with their own humanity while leading others 
  • Make changes without blowing up their entire life 
  • Turn what they've survived into strength they can access
