Need a speaker for an upcoming event? Bri Semmel’s style is fun, elegant, engaging, and approachable for staff. Each topic is designed for a 20 minute segment & can be tailored to a specific audience or event.

  • How we talk about ourselves tells everyone else (i.e., clients, managers, teammates) how, when, and why to engage with us. Embrace a brand that suits your strengths and goals, then see what happens.

  • It’s impossible to be authentic and transparent with everyone in the workplace. Yet, authenticity and transparency are two of the most commonly sought out leadership traits among staff. Maybe it’s not about being both, but about being deliberate in how you show up with specific audiences.

  • We’re told to manage up, but we’re also told to make our boss successful, and to care for our individual teammates really well. How can we possibly do it all? What IS managing up, and how can you do it successfully?

  • For working moms, coming back to work can be a tough transition. There’s no master plan for coming back well, but maybe it’s okay to start talking about what moms need in those early days to survive… and then get to a new normal.
