"Very well received"

Thank-you to Jamie for sharing her journey with our delegates, apprentices, and guests at our annual Ontario Sheet Metal Workers and Roofers Convention. It was very well received and gave us a lot to contemplate as we try to be a more diverse and inclusive Union. I would recommend her to speak in front of any labour or management group. Booking through TA Speakers Management was a breeze.

THE FOUR CORE SPEAKING TALKS

Every talk is built around your room, whatever the age, setting or size.

Born to Build

Zero Lore Required: Why the Future Belongs to Makers, Not Machines

Mask Off, Tools Out: Trading Up Is a Skill

Jamie wore the mask for years, composed on the outside and fighting unseen battles inside. Then life slowed her down, and she found out what was waiting on the other side. This honest, funny, no-fluff talk is about taking the mask off, trading limits for strengths and starting over as many times as it takes.

Key Takeaways: Rebuilding self-worth, practical mastery, and knowing it is never too late to start over.

Some Assembly Required: The Toolbox Inside Every Learner

Teachers are the architects of humanity, and every one of us was born with a toolbox. Jamie opens one on stage, tool by tool, to show the strengths already inside us and how to put them to work in ourselves and in the people we teach, raise and lead. Expect emotional intelligence, early childhood development, ADHD, autism, rejection sensitivity and a few surprises.

Key Takeaways: Seeing every learner, supporting minds that work differently, and opening one door for one person.

Hands-on workshops are available when materials are provided by the school or included in the event budget. Interested in the coloring book series All the Kids on Builders Street for your school or event? Get in touch.
