Bio

Lee Rugless Keynote Speaker

Target Areas For Speaking

1) Story Telling – 3 positive stories encouraging attendees to achieve their best at their gifts and talents. The emphasis is on listening, communicating, and obtaining their desired goals. Attendees also learn to be thankful for their accomplishments and believe in a team effort to thrive.

2) Motivational - Once the goal is reached, individuals are just getting started and realize that it was a team effort. Effective communication keeps productivity moving forward and identifies individuals' strong points. Roles are realized and adhered to effectively. There will always be challenges to overcome, which builds fortitude.

3) Emotional Intelligence – The pandemic forced a complete career reinvention. From professional entertainer to School Teacher K – 12/Keynote Speaker required an emotional overhaul. The Universe smiled at me and I was ready to grab the opportunity. I learned that working with a diverse population of students has taught me patience, compassion, problem-solving, wisdom, and reality. Each event attendee will learn how to evolve with changing environments and maximize their potential in any new arena.

Know & Achieve

Storytelling is an art that is one of the most powerful tools for a public speaker. The ability to capture the attention of an audience and make it relevant to their lives is the ultimate goal.
For seven years I had a successful entertainment residency singing and playing the piano for a popular hospitality brand. The pandemic of 2020 altered my profession and led me to another gift – teaching which included public speaking. I was offered a teaching position for grades K – 12 at a private school where I teach music and other courses.
My presentations are 1 hour long and consist of 3 stories and 3 accompanying original songs that support the topic. Being positive in all situations and circumstances is the focus.

No Coincidences

Everyone has a destiny to fulfill, and life presents many paths. Learn to take advantage of every opportunity to maximize your potential. Sometimes the path seems uncertain but push through the difficult times to attain your goals.
