Ole miss Speaker's edge Competition
Performance Coach
January 2020

2020 started off nicely with a major opportunity. I traveled to Ole Miss to serve as one of 5 instructors of 122 graduate students in Business, Accounting, and Law. I helped students improve their ideas and performance in three categories: Marketplace Pitch, Team Pitch, and Ethical Dilemma. The class intensives culminated in a 2-day tournament called Speaker’s Edge.
This annual competition allowed graduate students to compete for industry professionals, retirees, and alumni from across America. A student I had the pleasure of working with, Bea Tisher, was named tournament champion and received a cash prize. I am so proud of her, and of everyone who improved by leaps and bounds during this intense process. I love watching people grow!

Below is a picture of me and JoAnn Edwards, founder of Speaker’s Edge. JoAnn and her husband Dex have been such amazing forces in my life. I consider them mentors, and I can’t thank them enough. JoAnn and Dex officiated my wedding in June 2020!
