If you’ve ever asked,
“Is this all there is?”
“What’s next for me?”
“How do I get from here to there?”
Then you’re in the right place.

 Intentional transformation is the conscious decision to evolve—personally and professionally—with clarity, courage, and purpose.

At its core, intentional transformation is a framework for growth. When you align your physical, mental, and relational self, you unlock your “IT Factor,” that unmistakable presence that makes you stand out and inspires others. Your “IT Factor” empowers you to:

  • Step into your next chapter with confidence

  • Communicate with greater clarity and presence

  • Lead from a place of authenticity and influence

  • Build resilience and navigate uncertainty with intention

You know more than you think you know! No knowledge or experience is ever wasted.  Too often we hesitate to  step out of our comfort zone to create our next chapter because we don’t know how, we are afraid or we are unsure of how to connect the themes and patterns of our lives.

What would any of us do if we didn’t allow fear to stop us?

Liz Brunner’s motivational message will guide you to connect the dots of your own life experiences to create your next chapter, personally or professionally, for intentional impact.Liz’s inspirational career journey from classroom to newsroom to boardroom to the stage as a keynote speaker will motivate you to discover what themes exist in your own journey, how to connect those dots, and how to break any patterns that may be holding you back from following your destiny and living your best life.

Every day, we are bombarded with “information overload!” What cuts through the noise and captures people’s attention is powerful storytelling. Each and every person, no matter what profession or industry, needs to exude confidence, presence, and communicate effectively.

As an Emmy award-winning journalist, podcast host and expert storyteller, Liz Brunner will teach your audience her practical and proven communication tips and storytelling techniques, energizing them to connect and engage more authentically with their customers, clients and colleagues in a way that resonates and gets results immediately. By incorporating “Liz’s 4 C’s,” – Confidence, Content, Clarity and Conversational – for any presentation, pitch, or speech, and her innovative “Brunner Methodology for Practicing,” your audience will learn how to craft their story, the science behind why storytelling works, why it matters, and how to be seen and heard as they intend with confidence, presence and command.

No one is born knowing how to be a leader. We learn how to be a leader. With so much uncertainty in the world, leaders face challenges and complexities requiring a renewed commitment to flexibility, resilience and innovation.

As a sought after best-selling self-development author, leader, and keynote speaker, Liz Brunner offers guidance that will inspire audience members to unleash the leader within and invite others to refine their own leadership skills. Your audience will learn how to have influence, what it takes to be an authentic leader, the difference between being a manager and a leader, and how to discover their leadership philosophy for stronger teams, effective decision-making and long lasting impact.
