Kowana likes to speak to organizations who want to change the world starting with the
lives of young people. Truth be known, Kowana considers herself a better speaker than
a writer, and a better doerthan aspeaker. She is very comfortable with large audiences,
and two things separate her from other speakers:
She is a business person who happens to speak. She is not a “professional speaker,” a
“motivational speaker,” or a “guru.”
She customizes each speech for the audience. She needs one face-to-face or
telephonic meeting before the event to make this work. A good speech requires
understanding your business.
These are Kowana’s favorite topics:
Reshaping Worlds. This speech explains how to influence people’s hearts, minds, and
