Why event planners book Sheyna:
You’ve sat through the motivational speaker who fired up the room and left nothing behind. Your audience deserves better — and so does your reputation as the person who chose the speaker. Sheyna combines 28 years of real leadership experience, an engineer’s clarity, and the kind of authenticity that makes a room lean in. She reads the room, meets your audience where they are, and makes every message relevant to their world.
What you can expect:
A speaker who shows up prepared, professional, and on time. Available in person, virtually, or hybrid — for audiences from 50 to 5,000-plus — flying out of San Francisco, CA, nationwide. Keynotes can stand alone or anchor a broader organizational engagement.
