An accomplished motivational speaker, Cobourg’s Leisse Wilcox will compete in November’s Speaker Slam public speaking final in Toronto.
Wilcox tells us a rich and varied life experience put her on the road that led to her becoming an inspirational speaker.
Wilcox says how she chose to deal with a flood of challenges, including a breast cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy, has helped her to connect with others as a motivational speaker.
Wilcox says conquering adversity became her mantra and ultimately made her a strong and more compassionate mother and leader as an executive performance coach.
One of Wilcox’s powerful speaking points deals with self-worth.
Wilcox says her experience as a motivational speaker is people want to go on a journey with you, which requires authenticity and some soul-baring.
The 8th Annual Grand Slam: Inspirational Speaking Finals is Nov. 9 when Wilcox will deliver “Brave,” her talk that challenges all speakers to share stories of courage and resilience.
