Do you crave a sense of passion and purpose? Do you long to make a difference in the world? Are you passing up opportunities at work and home to make a difference because you don’t know where to start? Does all this leave you feeling like you are on a treadmill of mundane tasks with no purpose?

Through keynotes, writing, coaching and retreats, Laverne will show you that everyone can make a difference in the world. Although she has been described as “fearless”, she believes that all of us have what it takes to create changes within ourselves that flow through to our families, our communities and the world we share. She inspires participants to find their purpose in life so they too can live with passion, authenticity and fearlessness!

As the parent of a severely disabled child, professional speaker, writer and humanitarian, Laverne knows we can’t always eliminate the potential sources of stress in our lives but we can learn to respond more creatively, graciously and effectively. You will astound yourself when you tap into strengths you didn’t know you had and discover synergies that support your efforts.

Laverne’s deeply hopeful and sometimes humorous story is presented against the stunning back drop of images from her travels with her family to 5 continents. She and her husband have not only conquered the extraordinary challenges of traveling with a child who uses a wheelchair, but are active in a number of projects to alleviate suffering, especially of disabled children, in the places they have travelled to.
