In 2002, a speeding truck hit my motorcycle. My helmet flew off. I had an out-of-body experience. A traumatic brain injury followed; and years lost in outrageous decision manking, and expensive doctors.
When it was time to sober up I went to one AA meeting and it wasn't for me.
I found my voice in writing.
I wrote a memoir, then a vision: speaking was the next step.
I joined Toastmasters in 2010.
I was in it for 10 years, loved the audiences, but the free speaking sucked out my soul.
Whatever, I became Distinguished and reserve the right to make valid points.
I studied under pros like Joe Roberts, got Dale Carnegie certified, and logged thousands of hours sharpening my craft on my own, in my living room to a fake audience!
I was doing exercises I started teaching to others, like Air Cadet Squadron 777; they took first and second at nationals. That launched my training career, and podium finishes kept coming: from national speech contests to one of my clients is in MIT, she raised $2,000,000, for a project as part of the reason she was going to MIT.
I was training serious speakers with serious wealth.
In 2019, I founded Bisanz Advanced Speaker Training.
In 2022, I joined the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, love it there... home. I love the events and the knowledge and the speakers. I love the high earners club... I'm headed there.
Today, helping leaders turn voice into influence, and stories into impact, online, and off.
And yes, one day that book will be published. It'll be a part of my brand.
If you want to explore working together; to train, speak, or transform your stage presence.

Every speaker starts somewhere—and I’ve been lucky to share rooms, stages, and conversations with some of the greats. These aren’t just photo ops; they’re moments that reminded me what’s possible, and fueled my commitment to this work.
