Speaking & Training
Practical leadership development from someone who has led the work, not just studied it.
Keynotes & Conference Speaking
Vivian brings two decades of public service leadership to the stage, from frontline caseworker to director of a 120-person division. Her keynotes blend research, story, and straight talk, leaving audiences with tools they can apply immediately. Popular topics: Empower to Lead: Redefining Leadership for a New Era.

The Resilient Leader: Sustaining Yourself While Serving Everyone Else.
Training & Workshop Programs
Most leadership training fails because it was built for the private sector and bolted onto government. Ours is built from the inside. Programs are available as half-day workshops, full-day intensives, and multi-session cohort series. Core areas: new supervisor foundations, coaching staff in high-pressure environments, leading remote and hybrid public sector teams, process improvement for leaders, and strategic communication with boards and elected officials.
Facilitation & Retreats
Bring in a neutral, skilled facilitator who understands how public organizations actually operate. Vivian facilitates strategic planning sessions, leadership team retreats, and difficult cross-functional conversations, and designs every session to end with clear decisions and owned next steps.
