ELEVATE --- Valda Ford

Casey is a speaker, author, leadership development expert and executive coach. During her career she closed millions of dollars in sales yet had humble beginnings. An introvert and reformed wallflower, she almost was fired from her first sales job by being a slow learner on insurance industry concepts. Additionally, the company required that sales reps memorize and deliver a nine-page speech verbatim. Casey saved her job when she excelled delivering the presentation and won a district-level speech competition. She stumbled onto a key realization – when you master your speaking and presence, you can win over any room, anywhere. She went on to smash sales records, enjoyed promotions and spent the latter part of her corporate career training and mentoring others.

Casey was a senior leader at Aetna, Cigna, and Sunrise Senior Living. At EmblemHealth she trained a sales force of several hundred and coached leaders and high potentials to improve their performance. Currently CEO & Founder of Speak & Own It Communications, she works with women executives across all industries to connect, lead, pitch, and speak and own every room in the virtual world.

When she’s not working on her enterprise, Casey is a Pitch Coach for inner city entrepreneurs at Rising Tide Capital. She is a Guide for Chief, facilitating peer group discussions for C-suite women leaders. She is a docent at her local art museum and loves initiating conversations about art. She can’t wait to attend group exercise classes at the gym once again.

Her book is on Amazon: "Introverts in Sales: Turn Your Peaceful Power into a Profitable Selling Machine."

: The Halpin Companies was formed in 1995 to fill a void Katharine saw every day in her CPA career. Business Leaders were focused more on the legal and financial aspects of growing their organizations than the people aspects. Leaders and managers often lose momentum because of the distraction and disruptions caused by ‘people issues’. Katharine fixes that.

She has facilitated processes to accelerate the growth of organizations by getting the right people, with the right strengths, in the right roles, focused on the right priorities. As a result, organic growth occurs when the team members feel safe to step up and speak up. Katharine is passionate about helping others create these work environments that impact whole industries and the economy because one company becomes the ‘employer of choice’ in their community.

 Katharine is the author of Alignment for Success: Bringing Out the Best in Yourself, Your Teams and Your Company, and her e-book, The Respond, Not React Playbook both available on Amazon. Katharine’s forthcoming book, What Will That Take? will be published in 2021. She speaks at National and State Conference, virtually and in-person, as well as within her client companies.
