Unlock the Power of Connection
Keynote speaking, workshops, and retreat programming to help veterans, their families, and the organizations that serve them spark genuine connections so they can thrive in life after service.
KEYNOTE
Your New Battle Buddies
Finding Belonging After Service
The uniform comes off, the base is in your rear view mirror, and suddenly you’re alone, wondering how people actually make friends. In this funny, honest keynote, Becca shows veterans and their families why connection matters, and how to build it without feeling awkward or desperate.
-
When veterans and their families transition from the easy and fast friendships that military life offers, to the sometimes unwelcoming real world, they are often left wondering what happened. In Your New Battle Buddies, Becca uses humor, real-life stories, and a few “don’t do what I did” moments to explain social wellness, why veterans and their families often feel disconnected after service, and how belonging can be rebuilt, on purpose, at any stage of life.
-
This keynote is for veterans of all branches and generations, and the family members who live alongside them, who miss the built-in camaraderie of military life and want real friendships, stronger professional connections, and a sense of belonging that doesn’t require a uniform.
-
Learn why post-service disconnection is common—and not a personal failure
Understand what social wellness actually is (and what it definitely isn’t)
See connection as a learnable skill, not a personality trait
Leave with practical, doable ways to find their next “battle buddies”
WORKSHOPS
The Likable Leader Playbook: Turning Connection into Team Performance
Leadership isn’t just about making decisions—it’s about earning trust, respect, and buy-in from your team. In this workshop, leaders will learn how to balance authority with authenticity, cultivating likability as a strength rather than a liability. Through practical tools and real-world strategies, participants will discover how to communicate in ways that inspire, set boundaries that empower rather than alienate, and foster a culture where employees feel valued, motivated, and engaged. The result is stronger relationships, higher morale, and a leadership style that drives both performance and loyalty.

How I made my first best friend
In this heartfelt and humorous clip from a local small business event, I share the story of how I accidentally discovered the power of likability at just seven years old. That childhood lesson sparked a lifelong fascination with connection. Today, I bring that passion to everything I do—whether I’m guest hosting a podcast, leading a women’s friendship retreat, or volunteering in my community. At the core of it all is a simple goal: helping people build better relationships by showing up as their most likable, authentic selves.
