KEYNOTE # 1
Pursue Your Savvy U®
Thriving Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually — One Room at a Time
Across every arena—coaching, business, education, ministry—leaders are feeling the weight of pressure, uncertainty, and fatigue. I’ve been there too. There are seasons when the noise gets loud, the world feels heavy, and even the strong feel stretched thin.
So how do we keep leading—and living—with wisdom, peace, and purpose in a culture that seems to have lost its footing? How do we pursue our best Savvy U®?
In this keynote, I share The Inside Game framework through a faith-based lens, showing how God renovates us from the inside out—one room at a time. We’ll walk through a Savvy U® Body Scan —a head-to-toe reflection on how to thrive physically, mentally, and spiritually by letting Christ realign each part of who we are.
You’ll leave with practical tools, Scripture-based insights, and renewed strength to lead, love, and live from the inside out.
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light."
~ 1 Peter 2:9
KEYNOTE # 2
Can God Be Trusted?
Yep! Let Me Prove It.
Trust is a fundamental, bottom-line issue. Without it, leaders lose teams, teams lose athletes, salespeople lose sales, and organizations lose reputation, retention of good people, relationships, and revenue. Without it, Christians lose hope.
But with trust, individuals and organizations enjoy greater creativity, productivity, freedom, and results. With it, individuals thrive and relationships survice. As a senior consultant with The Trust Edge Leadership Institute since 2016, I have firsthand experience working with some the world’s highest performing organizations. Utilizing the Bible and industry leading research, The Trust Outlook®, I reveal how God is the MOST TRUSTED LEADER and prove it using the Trust Edge 8 Pillar Framework. You'll also learn strategies to sharpen your own 'trust edge' and why that is important for His Kingdom work.
“Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in Him,
because we trust in His holy name.
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in You.”
-Psalm 33:20-22
Training Workshops
Leaders don’t need to copy the culture to become relevant to people ~ they need to engage people with the Word of God. That's what we'll do in a Savvy U® workshop. We'll dive into God’s Word to help answer the problems of real-life. I have been blessed to have been taught by some of the leading Biblical teachers and can't wait to share some of the insights they've shared with me.
Let's talk and take the next 'steps' needed to find purpose, peace and victory.
"You Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and place their trust in You."
~ Isaish 26:3

I welcome the opportunity to help you become your best Savvy U®
The Inside Game | Eight Rooms. One U.
This transformational 8-week course takes coaches, athletes, and leaders inside the “rooms” of their own mindset to strengthen what matters most. Each week, you’ll step into a new room—like the Living Room for relationships or the Weight Room for consistency—where timeless truths meet neuroscience and practical tools. With case studies, interactive challenges, and real-world applications, you’ll learn to lead with confidence, clarity, and resilience. Along the way, you’ll build the Trust Edge—the competitive advantage gained when others confidently believe in you—so you can thrive under pressure and bring out the best in your team, and yourself. In every step, you’ll be challenged and inspired to pursue The Savvy U®.
Adventures
"A change of place + A change of pace = A change of perspective"
~ Mark Batterson
Group Adventure
Faith, friendship, and fresh air for the soul.
If your group is craving time away to reconnect with God and each other, these guided adventures are designed to help you breathe deeply, laugh freely, and grow spiritually — together.
Women’s groups are led by Michelle, and men’s groups by Ron — both offering biblically grounded reflection, safe adventure, and intentional time to pause, pray, and play in God’s creation.
You can join one of our open group trips or bring your own team, staff, or circle of friends. Experiences can take place at Respiree, our private Minnesota home for confidential retreat and coaching ( “Respiree” comes from the French word respirer, meaning “to breathe”), or out in the beauty of His creation — from the Midwest to the mountains, from Alaska to Bermuda.
Whether it’s a sunrise hike, waterfall walk, or quiet time around the fire, each experience is tailored to your group’s pace and purpose — creating space for rest, renewal, and real conversation.
“Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.” — 3 John 1:2
“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” — Jeremiah 6:16

~ 3 John 1:2 ESV
This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it."
~ Jeremiah 6:16

Individual Quest
Soul-Searching Adventures
If you’re craving space to think, breathe, and reconnect with God, these soul-searching adventures are designed for you. Each experience offers a safe and purposeful way to renew your body, quiet your mind, and restore your spirit — combining reflection, light movement, and the beauty of creation.
You can come to Respiree — our private Minnesota home for confidential one-on-one coaching and rest. Respiree comes from the French word respirer, meaning “to breathe” — and that’s exactly what this space invites you to do: pause, exhale, and let your soul breathe differently.
For those who prefer to venture out, we can also explore outdoor settings across the Midwest and beyond. From waterfalls to wide-open skies, every moment becomes an invitation to listen and let God do the restoring work only He can do.
Whether you need a single-day pause or a multi-day reset, each experience is crafted with care — creating room for peace, perspective, and presence.
