Bio

Does your perception of the world affect how you show up in it? How do react to new experiences, places or people from other cultures? Do you stand firmly on your truth, or are you persuaded by misinformation and narrow opinions? What would change for you if you were confident in your competency and comfortable outside the gates of your comfort zone?

Learn how to grow your confidence, overcome fears, unpack biases, develop management skills and increase your cultural intelligence.

In her presentations Tonya Fitzpatrick, lawyer, author and host of the multi-award-winning World Footprints podcast, reveals how TRAVEL can do all of this and more. She shares relatable stories full of life lessons, and motivating advice gained through her many journeys.

As a former expat, Delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women and Explorers club member, Tonya effectively conveys the transformative power of travel and its effect on personal and professional growth, cultural understanding, and confidence. She has spoken for three TEDx events, The National Association of Women MBAs, as well international events, universities and travel industry organizations.

Tonya comes with high accolades from peers and previous clients. Dr. Bethany Miller, National Association of Women MBAs Conference Chair, says, "Tonya spoke at our annual conference. She knows the real value of careers, career transitions, and honoring one's life's work. The audience gave rave reviews."

Helen Hernandez, CEO of the North American Travel Journalist Association adds to the praise. Hernandez says, “Tonya showcases her depth of knowledge and passion for socially conscious travel. As a woman of color, she brings a unique perspective to her approach to travel, which is evident in all of her endeavors.”
