Beatrice Freeman is also Regional Winner of the 2017 Professional Speaking Association Speaker Factor. As an After-Dinner Speaker, she impresses with her stage presence, gentle humour and original material based on her previous careers.
As a Motivational Speaker, in her keynote “Success – And How To Get There”, she draws on her diverse experience and inspires to take ownership of your life by challenging commonplace myths and processes.
Beatrice learned the hard way all the things she is famous for. She had to go through a fundamental change and face enormous obstacles. In the process, she discovered what works and what’s an illusion. Now she is on a mission to empower. We take far too many things for granted, and we severely underestimate what we CAN do about it. You don’t have to agree to be what others think you should be. You don’t have to agree to be trapped in your background. And you certainly don’t have to accept that bizarre idea that youth is what counts in life more than anything else.
Beatrice Freeman | Comedic Speaker
Also, we need more laughter. After seven years in cyber, Beatrice knows that it’s not the Internet of Things that is the answer. It’s the belly laugh. With disasters constantly being reported, worry, fear, and anger have become pervasive in our lives. We must laugh more. Life is so full of unexpected nonsense that if you see it from a different angle, you’ll laugh. Having gained a very wide perspective throughout her multiple careers, including comedy clubs, Beatrice is well equipped to help you laugh at it all.
