Clients Book Her for a Keynote. Then They Ask Her to Emcee the Whole Conference.

The Question the Whole Body of Work Rests On

Contagious Leadership™ starts from an observation plain enough that most leaders nod before they have finished hearing it, which is that the energy a leader carries into a room does not stay with that leader. Every conversation, every reaction, every decision leaves something behind in the people who witnessed it.

Most of us have never stopped to ask what we are leaving.

Her CARE to Lead™ framework gives that question four practical places to go to work: Connection, Agency, Recognition and Energy. It is deliberately built for the ordinary moments rather than the set pieces, because the hallway conversation and the piece of hard feedback and the meeting nobody wanted are where culture actually gets decided, and none of those show up on an agenda.

What keeps the session from feeling like an audit is the humor. Trisha invites a room to look honestly at the gap between what they intend to communicate and what their people actually experience, and she does it in a way that leaves nobody feeling caught out.

A Closing Keynote, Virtual, Across Ten Time Zones

It is worth being specific about one booking, because it is the hardest version of the assignment. Trisha closed the CU LEAD Virtual Summit for more than 500 credit union leaders from 10 countries. Virtual, closing session, late in the day, across ten time zones, with an audience that could leave by closing a laptop.

The organizers said afterward that bringing laughter and deep engagement to a virtual stage is no easy feat, and that she managed it. That is a useful data point for any planner staring at a hybrid agenda or a graveyard slot.

The pattern in her feedback is consistent across formats. Stantec said she was very well prepared and that the team left with strategies for work and home. Northern Health described a room that her energy electrified, tailored to their industry. CPHR Manitoba said delegates found her so personable they simply wanted to keep talking to her. The SPARK Leadership Conference used her as both emcee and keynote and said she added the wow factor in one role and engaged attendees on a level many had not experienced before in the other.

Every Keynote Can Include a Breakout

This is a practical detail that changes what a planner gets for the same travel day. Every keynote booking with Trisha can include a breakout session, so the message does not end when the applause does. The room hears the keynote, then a smaller group applies the tools to their own workplace the same afternoon.

It also means one speaker can cover a general session and a concurrent block, which is a real budget consideration for associations running a full agenda.

She is also a multi-business owner and a mom of four, and she is straightforward about believing leadership is important, human work that we are still allowed to have some fun doing.

Three Ways to Program Her

What Are You Spreading? The Ripple Effect of Contagious Leadership™ is the signature. Sixty minutes, adaptable to 45 or 75, opening or closing, and built for leadership summits, association conferences, all-staff days and organizations moving through change.

Elevate Performance Through WorkLife Wellness sets aside the myth of perfect balance and offers a realistic approach to sustainable performance instead, which suits wellness programming, HR conferences, women’s events and teams coming off a heavy stretch.

Say the Thing is the communication session, and it is highly interactive. It works on why necessary conversations feel so hard to start and what a team quietly pays every time one gets deferred again. It is strong as a keynote and stronger as a breakout or workshop.

She customizes every keynote to the theme and audience, and is available to emcee and facilitate a full conference. Full topic descriptions and takeaways are on her speaker profile.
