Stacy tailors her keynote to every audience, but here's the gist:

FIND YOUR STORY, FIND YOUR VOICE

Now more than ever, the world is ready to listen to women. Given this opportunity to be heard, what do you want to say? What stories do we want to tell? In this inspiring and informational keynote for content-creators of all walks, Stacy illustrates the importance of personal experiences and vulnerability, whether your story is narrative or non-fiction. Traditionally women and men have been taught to shy away from sharing emotional experiences and "toughen up" in business or when the chips are down. But here's the big flaw in that logic: It's that very vulnerability that we suppress that makes a story relatable. And if a story is relatable, it engages. And when you engage, people LISTEN. Embrace your vulnerability and emotions, especially when you create, and then use them to educate and enlighten, whether it be in entertainment or business. 

Every woman is encrypted with the DNA of the women that have come before her. Our stories are
generationally cumulative, which means every woman has a story to tell.

And every story has a message.

Whether you’re writing a corporate story or a personal story, whether it’s a book, screenplay, podcast, or play, Stacy explains in her keynote how to focus not only on story structure, but more importantly your story’s personal message--how to find it, how it relates to you (or your business), and what it is that you ultimately want to say. That's when your voice finally lets itself be heard. It's only then that your story will truly engage, touch hearts, and make a difference.

The applause at the end will not only be for Stacy,
but also for you for putting your trust in her to make your event the best it can be!
