What if "care" was our new social construct? Our agreement to love, forgive, respect, and live in harmony with one another.
"Glodean has a unique way of approaching difficult topics that leaves the audience feeling both at ease and ready to make the world a better place. She is amazing! Period! End of story! If you have the good fortune of working with Glodean, take it!"

What You Can Expect
Motivation, inspiration, and laughter! That's what you can expect when I'm speaking to a crowd of enthusiastic listeners or reading from my novel, Salmon Croquettes. Being on stage comes naturally to me, but I don't take that for granted. I craft each keynote with the wants and needs of my audience. I make an effort to ensure that you'll never hear the same thing, no matter how many times you see me. And, there's always an engaging story involved. That's how I'm able to connect with my audience and be both authentic and vulnerable, at the same time.
I approach delicate subjects with honesty, authenticity, and vulnerability. I love challenging audiences of all kinds in a way that forces them to take pause. I've discovered that when we become introspective we can consider the possibilities of love and connection. Two things we need more of if we want to make the world a better place.
