What to expect when working

with Sonya:

Motivation + Application
Every talk is not just motivational, but also immediately actionable. I believe that it’s one thing to motivate and inspire, but another to actually manifest success.

Customization
Every event and audience is unique. Prior to the event, it is imperative that we discuss the topic, goals and motivations in advance so that I have a clear understanding of the opportunities and how I can best serve.

Emphasis on Empathy & Customer Experience
Business Empathy is a core topic of mine. This includes taking care of your business goals, audience and team. I am available to inspire and create value along the way. I truly believe that we can lead the charge and change the future by connecting and understanding those we serve from a point of compassion.

Authentic Leadership Growth
Leveraging the dynamics of relationships, empathy and user-experience, she helps companies create and launch extraordinary products out of ordinary chaos.

I can’t tell you how impressed I am by what Sonya is doing. I love it. I am a designer and been a UX Designer for over 20 years – in a whole bunch of different domains. I saw Sonya’s talk and it hit me – user experience is the secret ingredient to a winning business. I have spent months learning about entrepreneurship and now it all makes complete sense. – Mike G.

Sonya demonstrates an exceptional understanding of the startup industry, business dynamics, and consumer behavior. Her expertise in meditation and mindfulness complements her professional knowledge, enabling her to provide methodical, specific, and relevant advice. What sets her apart is the actionable guidance she offers, which leaves my team and me feeling inspired and determined to continue our work. Without a doubt, Sonya ranks among the top 5% of mentors I’ve had the privilege to learn from. – Bryce K.

Sonya has a youthful, vibrant and contagious energy that people in corporate really need to hear and see. Her ability to use storytelling to elaborate on the importance of communication, collaboration for business growth is one of a kind – Eugene E.

Sonya was by far one of the most influential speakers I’ve heard this year. She spoke about her life and her multiple successful businesses, the trials, and the keys to success with candor. She was able to eloquently deliver sophisticated strategies to implement in any business, that will undoubtedly 10x revenue, ROI, and speed up your success.
