But even the best can feel stuck at times—whether it’s finding the next big idea, reaching the next level, or reigniting the joy and creativity that launched your career. What happens when you hit a wall, when the challenges feel overwhelming, or when the spark that fuels your creativity dims? When life happens…

Join this exclusive, high-impact 2-hour lab, with Denise Gabel, bestselling author of The Can-Do Mindset, and Isabella Meadows, Can-Do Energy Leadership Coach, for a transformative experience tailored to your unique challenges.

3. Real-time Coaching
   Bring your specific roadblocks to the table. Denise and Isabella will provide live, actionable guidance to help you tackle your challenges and leave with a clear path forward.

Walk away feeling unstoppable—equipped with the mindset, strategies, and tools to tackle anything from tight timelines to high-stakes events with confidence, clarity, and creativity.

It’s time to unpin your potential and step boldly into your next success. Let’s do this together!

This isn’t another lecture or workshop. It’s a fully immersive, hands-on lab experience crafted specifically for professional speakers, coaches, and trainers.

This is your opportunity to invest in the next level of your success. Join us for an exclusive experience tailored to professional speakers like you—because your time is valuable, and this will be worth every moment.

Denise Gabel

Denise Gabel is a trailblazer in leadership and innovation, known for her ability to spark change at the highest levels and bring more CAN DO into this world. As the former Chief Innovation Officer of the Filene Research Institute, Denise revolutionized the i3 (Ideas, Innovation, Implementation) program, helping leaders across the U.S. and Canada drive innovation and implement transformative ideas. Her tenure as Chief Operating Officer of the Northwest Credit Union Association further solidified her legacy of leading with vision and purpose.

Currently, Denise serves as Chief Can-Do-Ologist at Can-Do-Ology®, empowering leaders to embrace a “Can-Do” mindset. Denise has served as President of the National Speakers Association’s Northwest Chapter and now mentors chapter leaders nationwide as part of the National Speakers Association Chapter Leadership Committee. Her passion for learning has taken her from Eastern Washington University, where she graduated summa cum laude, to the
Berkeley Innovation Forum at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and Harvard Business School’s Women’s Leadership Forum.

What truly sets Denise apart is her ability to navigate both personal and professional challenges with grace and resilience. After her husband and soulmate passed in 2020, she carried all of us with her on her journey. She taught us what true love looks like. She is a woman who can ugly cry and inspires us at the same time. She is courageous—except she always needs nitrous
oxide to have her teeth cleaned. Denise loves shopping and fashion, and her love for animal print and bling will one day manifest itself into an accessory line for self and home.

If you’re looking for inspiration on how to push boundaries, break through barriers, and lead with confidence, Denise will show you how to bring more CAN DO into your life and unlock more time, energy, and success—on your own terms.

Isabella Meadows

Isabella Meadows is captivated by the intricacies of the human mind and driven by a passion for helping others unlock their full potential. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, business, communication, and philosophy, she views personal development and professional growth as the keys to unlocking the boundless possibilities within each of us. Her mission is to explore the
depths of the unconscious mind and reveal the mental programming that drives success.

While still a college student, Isabella founded her own personal development and coaching business. She graduated summa cum laude from Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University, with degrees in Accounting, Marketing, and Finance. During this time, she designed and led a year-long program that empowered 130 student entrepreneurs to reach their personal,
academic, and business goals. Today, Isabella directs the business and personal development programming for the Founders Lab at Arizona State University, where she coaches the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders.

In addition to her work at ASU, Isabella is a Can-Do Energy Leadership Coach at
Can-do-ology®, where she empowers leaders to harness a “Can-Do” mindset and overcome barriers to success. Certified through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), Isabella holds credentials as a Professional Coach and Energy Leadership Index (ELI) practitioner. She brings a unique approach to mindset mastery, shaped by her expertise in NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) and behavioral change. She is committed to helping
entrepreneurs, leaders, and young professionals build confidence, creativity, and sustainable success. Isabella is also an active leader in her community, serving on the board of the National Speakers Association Arizona chapter.

Isabella’s vision is to inspire people to transcend their limitations and create a ripple effect of positive change—a world driven by more “CAN.”

How I Booked My First 100 Speeches – Timeless Strategies You Can Use Now!

Presented by Courtney Clark, CSP

There’s no one “right” way to build and maintain a speaking business, but there’s one thing we can all agree on. A successful speaking business needs… business!

Where do speaking engagements come from? Courtney Clark, CSP, will share her strategy for going from, “Who do I even call and what do I say?” to a fully- booked calendar.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at this a while, Courtney is sure to share a tip you can use as soon as you get back to the office.

At the end of this session, participants will leave with:

• Courtney’s step-by-step sales plan, detailing what types of outreach to send and when
• Script suggestions for calls and emails, including the best single word to start your voicemails
• A strategy for turning your bookings into spinoff business

Meet Courtney Clark, CSP

Courtney believes we’re getting resilience wrong.

When she was diagnosed with cancer for the first time at age 26, people told her, “Courtney, you’re so strong!” But she didn’t feel strong—she felt scared, mad, confused, and isolated, because it seemed like no one truly understood. People weren’t bothering to ask how she really felt before they tried to make her feel better. She heard a lot of platitudes meant to be uplifting, but they only left her feeling more frustrated.

Going through that experience taught her that when we jump straight to positivity, we miss the opportunity to tackle our problems head-on. While a positive attitude is important, growth and innovation are usually borne out of struggle.

She’s on a mission to correct what she believes is a fundamental misunderstanding of resilience. Instead of thinking of resilience as unrelenting optimism, her research shows that true resilience comes from adapting to change and challenge.

Today, Courtney works with organizations and individuals to develop greater adaptability, which provides a more realistic, longer-lasting form of resilience. Her approach is evidence-based and immediately applicable—not rooted in clichés or toxic positivity.

Part 1: Membership Renewal Special Event

Book Content: How to Write the Right Book

You’ve heard it before: “Writing a book can boost your business credibility.” But only if it’s done right. In this session, you’ll get practical strategies, essential tools, and cautionary insights to make sure your book enhances, not undermines, your personal credibility and business brand.

You know you want to write a book, but you may be wondering: What information should I put in and what should I leave out? How much personal story do I tell? How do I organize my book? Do I need an editor?

Join Arlene Gale and Yoram Solomon for this powerful, members-only session where they’ll share their experience as authors, brand-builders, and business owners. They won’t tell you exactly what to write, but they will help you figure out how to write the right book for your voice, your message, and your audience.

This session will also explore one of today’s hottest (and most misunderstood) tools: AI. Yoram will share how he uses AI, not to write his books, but to refine them. He’ll show how AI can be a smart, ethical, and strategic partner for research, structure, feedback, and quality control. It’s an unorthodox but powerful way to elevate your writing without compromising originality or integrity.

Arlene Gale is an international award-winning author and book-writing content strategist with nearly 500 books to her credit. Using her marketing expertise, she coaches how to write the right business-building book. Yoram Solomon has written and self-published of more than 20 books that credibly support and build his business brand. He is a creative innovator and trust expert.

Whether you’re just starting, stuck in the middle, or nearing the finish line, you’ll leave this session with clarity, confidence, and renewed creative energy.

Part 2: Membership Renewal Special Event

Book Publishing: Choosing the Right Option & Taking Bold Action
Thinking about publishing a book but not sure where to begin? Already writing, or even finished writing your content, but uncertain about your next move? In this exclusive, members-only virtual training, you’ll explore the full landscape of today’s publishing options: traditional, hybrid, self-publishing, and even lesser-known routes you may not have considered.

Arlene Gale, an international award-winning author and publishing strategist with nearly 500 books to her credit, will help you demystify the publishing world. She’ll walk you through essential questions like: Do you need a publisher? How do you find one? What is a book proposal and when is it required?

Then, Yoram Solomon brings his tech-forward perspective as a self-published author of more than 20 books, sharing real-world insights on how publishing a book can build and support a trusted business brand. He’ll take you behind the scenes of the self-publishing process from formatting to cover design to uploading and launching with confidence.

Whether you’re dreaming, drafting, or ready to publish, this session will give you the tools, clarity, and confidence to take the next step.
