Practical ideas. Thoughtful reflection. A conversation people remember.
Each topic can be shaped to fit the audience, event theme, and desired emphasis.
BOOK-BASED PRESENTATION
Awareness Is Enough
A presentation built around the philosophy at the heart of Billie’s book: awareness as the starting point for presence, insight, choice, and meaningful change.
Ideal for audiences interested in mindful coaching, self-awareness, reflective practice, and the human side of behavior change.
PRESENCE & COACHING RELATIONSHIP
Coaching with Presence
A practical session on the quality of the coaching relationship — and how presence, listening, curiosity, and attunement change what becomes possible in a conversation.
Designed for coaches who want to move beyond simply knowing the competencies and deepen how they embody them.
PRACTICAL MINDFULNESS
Everyday Mindfulness
An accessible look at mindfulness as something we bring into ordinary conversations, decisions, and relationships — not something reserved for a meditation cushion.
Audiences leave with simple practices for listening, inquiry, awareness, and more intentional presence.
SUSTAINABLE HELPING
Help & Heal Without Draining Your Energy
For caring professionals who give deeply to others: a conversation about boundaries, energy, self-awareness, and remembering that effective helping does not require depletion.
Especially relevant for coaches and helping professionals who want to sustain both their work and themselves.
What Your Audience Leaves With
More than an hour of good ideas.
The goal is not simply to inspire people in the room. It is to give them something they can notice, practice, or use when they return to their work.
Greater Awareness
A clearer understanding of how presence, habits, assumptions, and self-awareness influence the way we work with others.
Practical Tools
Ideas and practices participants can bring into coaching conversations, professional relationships, and everyday interactions.
Renewed Perspective
Space to reconnect with why the work matters and how to keep doing it with intention, humanity, and sustainable energy.
Built for the Room
A topic is the starting point — not a script.
Billie can shape the emphasis of a presentation around your audience, event theme, and the conversation you want people to leave having. The presentation stays grounded in her core areas of expertise while feeling relevant to the people actually in the room.
What to Expect
Practical, grounded, and genuinely useful.
Real Experience
Every session is shaped by decades of coaching, teaching, and working with professionals in the real world — not recycled theory.
Warm Delivery
Billie brings a calm, encouraging, human presence that invites people into the conversation rather than talking at them.
Renewed Perspective
Space to reconnect with why the work matters and how to keep doing it with intention, humanity, and sustainable energy.
