Andrea’s Signature Presentation:  

Your Biggest Problem is Your Greatest Opportunity 

Your audiences will laugh and talk for years to come about Andrea’s signature presentation.  With an unforgettable and hilarious Saturday Night Live style comedy sketch Andrea introduces the hard topics of failure and adversity.  Building on this novel foundation she explores the fact that personal success and your organizational success is determined by how an individual or a group responds to the difficulties that face them. 

Andrea discovered through extensive research that renowned survivors and great leaders demonstrate remarkable resilience by not only surviving circumstances but transforming and redefining them.  Ultimately, she believes that “Your Biggest Problem is Your Greatest Opportunity”.  She has shared this message with thousands of people and helped them tap into the extraordinary freedom and power that she has found.

Andrea combines scientific research, the insights of famous individuals, along with her own personal experiences (overcoming pain, fear, rejection, loneliness, and disease) to imbue audiences with the confidence to face adversity, the skills to encourage themselves, and strategies to thrive in the midst of difficult situations.

★★★★★ Thank you again for coming to speak to our students.  You make such a difference in student lives!  You are truly an inspiration to the education profession.

Kate Morgan – Counselor, Wilson High School; Portland, Oregon

★★★★★ Andrea, thank you for speaking with our students.  I believe your message resonated with them; many of these students are facing plenty of “crap” in their lives and it is our mission as a community to overcome these obstacles and to grow from them.  I overheard several students later in the day describing your presentation to their peers, laughing about the demonstration of doing ‘business’ in the woods.  Another student said you made great connections in your points.  Thanks for your time and your message.

★★★★★ Speakers come in all different forms and genres.  Some try to inspire, while some lecture their point across.  A high school speaker has to know the teenage audience they are speaking to, and have a strong conviction in what they believe to get their point across.  Andrea was a perfect combination of this.  She spoke with conviction for what she believed in.  She wove in comedic stories to reach her audience and did it in a way that connected her overall message really well.  I would definitely have her back, I think she inspired my students and left a lasting impression, one of hope in struggles and the ability to persevere.
