Inspiring business leaders to leverage their resources and build stronger relationships across generations smarter and faster.

The KISS principle—an acronym for “Keep it super simple!”—is a fundamental design philosophy that advocates simplicity, clarity, and minimalism. 


A twenty-five year veteran of the payroll profession, I have encountered people at their best and at their worst. As a member of various social media circles, I have learned a lot about its proper use versus its dark side. My life experiences have taught me a lot about learning styles, communication styles and work-life balance. All of this experience has given me a unique viewpoint of the world, how best to prepare yourself for it, and how not to let it get the better of you.  


My passion for sharing my experiences now takes me to the stage, where I am happy to tell heart-warming, humorous, and slightly embarrassing stories that will allow today's workforce to better understand and maybe even be better prepared for the journey they have embarked on.  We will explore how adhering to the KISS principle leads to better outcomes across various domains.

Join me as we unravel the power of KISS and learn how it can transform problem-solving, software development, and everyday decision-making.  If your goal is to truly prepare yourself, your students or your employees for being in the workforce, let's chat about sharing my #PassionforPayroll message with them!
