You know your audience needs a new plan

But you don’t want another speaker who only shares theory for an hour and puts the audience to sleep; you want someone who’s been there and done the work. Someone who’s spent the last two decades building culture and communication systems for billion dollar businesses with fanatical followings. Someone who has seen the struggle firsthand, and has some stories to share.

Whether your employees have become half-hearted in their efforts lately or are full-on quiet quitting, the bottom line is that their disconnection and disengagement is affecting your entire customer experience.

After a 30 year career in multi-billion dollar organizations, Pam knows that siloed departments can suffice on a small scale, but in order to build a brand that's remarkable from the inside out, it’s impossible without a connected communication system. 

Why Pam is the perfect choice for your next event:

Her presentations are based on real world experience versus theory

She shares tried and true systems that ensure leaders move from intention to action

Her stories are memorable and make people think differently about their individual impact

She’s personable, real, and gives it to you straight

Her audience engagement is unmatched

As a previous event planner, and Texan born and raised, it's easy and fun to work with Pam

Keynotes That Stick With You

Take Care

Your Internal Comms: The Secret Weapon Your Team’s Missing

All In: Commitment That Transforms Culture

Pam doesn’t bring theory or tired bullet points. She brings real stories, hard-won wisdom, and humor that make leaders see themselves differently. Each keynote is packed with unforgettable stories and practical takeaways leaders can apply the moment they walk back into the office.

In Texas, we don’t say “goodbye.” We say, take care. Those two words shaped Pam’s leadership philosophy — and they’re the foundation of her most powerful keynote.

Pam shows leaders how communication is the oxygen of organizational health. When leaders “take care” of their communication, everything else — engagement, retention, innovation, performance — takes care of itself.

Audiences will laugh, nod, and reflect as Pam challenges them to:
  • Take care of their communication
  • Take care of their stories
  • Take care of their connections
  • Take care of their organizational health

They’ll leave inspired to take care of each other — and ready to lead with clarity and humanity.
Most leaders think they have a people problem. What they really have is a communication problem. In this keynote, Pam pulls back the curtain on why most organizations operate in two modes — silence or crisis — and how both destroy trust.

Through unforgettable stories and her simple Assess, Align, Activate framework, Pam gives leaders the tools to:
  • Identify the leaks in their communication
  • Align priorities with plain language everyone understands
  • Activate rhythms that keep teams informed, connected, and confident

This talk shifts the way leaders see internal communication — from an afterthought to their greatest competitive advantage.
What does it look like when teams are truly all in? Pam shares stories from leading through high-stakes growth at a billion-dollar brand, where success depended on cross-functional alignment and shared vision.

Audiences discover how to:
  • Rally around a unifying vision
  • Break silos and build cross-team collaboration
  • Create cultures where people commit, connect, and deliver together
