Speaking
For more than a decade I have been speaking professionally to audiences all over the world. I have given hundreds of presentations to thousands of people on topics ranging from financial wellness to total well-being. As a result of my down-to-earth perspective, I am often referred to as one of the most relatable female leaders in corporate America today.
Fantastic On-Stage Experience
My superpower is distilling complex topics into accessible, actionable take-aways. Whether the stage is large or small, I use stories, humor, and relatable examples to educate and inspire the audience. They will leave with a fresh perspective and tangible next steps that they can apply immediately.

Fantastic Backstage Experience
As a seasoned professional with more than a decade of speaking experience, I know how to make your job easy. I know you are juggling all aspects of the event and not just the speakers. I am responsive, energetic, and one of the lowest maintenance speakers you will ever encounter.

Ms. Thompson’s superior understanding of investing and human behavior make her a world class speaker on all things financial. Before live audiences, on podcasts, and in television appearances, Ms. Thompson had made (and will make) the complex simple. She has the ability to remove doubt from uncertainty in the daunting world of saving and investing. Her charm, grace, and humanity make her the perfect investment for any audience that wants to make money (saving and investing) a friend, not a fearful foe.
