Revitalize Your Work & Life

Practical ways to restore energy, purpose, and pride for those who are nice for a living

When people spend their days caring for others, supporting teams, and keeping organizations running, it’s easy for their own energy and sense of purpose to slip quietly to the bottom of the list.

Revitalize Your Work & Life is an uplifting, practical keynote designed for professionals who are nice for a living—the people who give generously at work and deserve to have something left for themselves at the end of the day.

With warmth, humour, and real-world insight, Stephanie Staples helps audiences pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly sustains them. Rather than asking people to do more, this keynote focuses on small, meaningful shifts that restore energy, strengthen resilience, and rekindle pride in both work and life.

Participants will:

  • Feel seen, valued, and validated for the work they do
  • Gain practical tools to protect energy and reduce burnout
  • Reconnect with purpose, motivation, and personal well-being
  • Leave with simple, actionable ideas they can use immediately

Engaging, relatable, and deeply encouraging, Revitalize Your Work & Life leaves audiences lighter, more connected, and better equipped to keep showing up—without running on empty.

Inspired Leadership

In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure world, many leaders are doing their best—yet quietly wondering where to find fresh inspiration, stronger connection, and renewed energy to lead well.

Inspired Leadership is an uplifting, practical keynote designed for leaders who want to:

  • Strengthen relationships—personally and professionally
  • Foster a more engaged, proactive, and positive culture
  • Lead with clarity, purpose, and heart

With warmth, humor, and real-world insight, Stephanie invites participants to look at leadership through a fresh lens—one that emphasizes self-leadership, gratitude, connection, and intentional growth. This is not about leadership theory for theory’s sake; it’s about human leadership that works in real life.

Participants will leave with:

  • Practical, immediately usable ideas to grow as leaders and as people
  • New ways to elevate relationships and team dynamics
  • A renewed sense of purpose and possibility
  • Inspiration to lead in ways that positively ripple outward—at work and beyond

Inspired Leadership is engaging, fun, and genuinely energizing. Hearts feel fuller, minds leave buzzing with actionable ideas, and leaders walk away better equipped to make a meaningful difference—starting right where they are.

Bring Your ‘A’ Game to Work & Life!

If you’ve ever felt tired, overwhelmed, or stressed—and it’s not even lunchtime—this keynote is for you.

In Bring Your ‘A’Game to Work & Life, Stephanie Staples delivers a high-energy, candid, and deeply relatable keynote that challenges the idea that success is just about doing more. Drawing from her own experience of burnout and bouncing forward, Stephanie reminds audiences of a powerful truth: we can only do good work when we feel good—and feeling good requires looking beyond work alone.

With humour, honesty, and practical insight, Stephanie peels back the layers of what truly drives sustainable success—at work and in life. This is not a “push harder” message; it’s a work smarter, live better approach that helps people reconnect with energy, clarity, and purpose.

Participants will:

  • Gain practical strategies to manage stress and prevent burnout
  • Understand how personal well-being directly impacts performance and results
  • Learn how to bring more intention, balance, and focus to both work and life
  • Leave energized, motivated, and equipped with ideas they can apply immediately

Fast-paced, engaging, and refreshingly real, Bring Your ‘A’ Game to Work & Life helps audiences reset, refuel, and show up at their best—without sacrificing their well-being in the process.

Audience reviews:

  • Stephanie is an inspiring professional with a truly unique gift for connecting with people on a personal and meaningful level. I've had the privilege of witnessing her talent firsthand, and she brings positivity, insight, and creativity to every interaction. Stephanie has a knack for using humor to help people find fresh perspectives. Her energy and authenticity stood out at our conference and made a lasting impact on our attendees. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for your next speaking opportunity! - CEO, SafeCare BC

  • Stephanie Staples ROCKED the HOUSE! I left feeling energized, motivated, and excited about what I could do to elevate my life both personally and professionally! More importantly, I left with a full set of useful tools to immediately implement the insights of the day. - Controller, Dental Choice
  • Stephanie approached the engagement with enthusiasm, positivity, and creativity. Not fully knowing if the sophisticated technology & business audience would be as responsive to each of the three-day presentations... we were as happy as the audience with Stephanie’s passion on stage each day. An audience of over two hundred people (per session) were clearly captivated, motivated and responsive. So much so that we received numerous requests for recordings, published work, etc. Stephanie puts a lot of heart into her time on stage, challenging both herself and others to grow, think and learn. She practices what she preaches, that is to say, Stephanie brings her A game!
    - Executive Producer, Drury Design
  • Steph provided us with more than we could have hoped... a knowledgable, experienced look into our own personal practices, empathy into what we were going through, practical tips to start the process of healing, and a vision of a greater future... all in 1 hour (after a big lunch). We collectively loved Steph's energy, enthusiasm and message (on a scale of 1 to 5, ever seen a 6?). I would not hesitate to bring her back and will be recommending her to colleagues around my health region. We could all use a little more Stephanie Staples in our practices.
    - Physician QI Champion, Royal Columbian Hospital
  • After Stephanie wowed us with her dynamic program for our leaders I knew we had to have the whole staff hear her. With less than 24 hours notice we got her in front 150 frontline employees who left inspired, uplifted and with tools to implement immediately to improve the quality of their life and work. If you have the chance to experience her programs, just say yes and make it happen. I’m glad I did!

    - CEO, Johnson Medical Centre
  • Stephanie led a dynamic and engaging session for more than 200 beginning teachers. The session was invigorating, useful, exciting and engaging as she shared strategies for Work-Life Balance in the 21st century. She is an outstanding presenter!
