How do you build a life that matters now, in your future, and even beyond? It is a big question that many people struggle to answer. In this keynote, Tammy Tibbetts provides you with the inspiration and motivation to unlock your potential. As the co-founder and CEO of She’s the First, a nonprofit that fights for a world where every girl chooses her own future, Tammy has connected thousands of people to unique opportunities, which have changed their lives and those of others. She shares her message that everyone is capable of creating unlimited impact.

In the past century, nonprofits have stuck to an old-school playbook: Throw fancy galas, apply for big grants, and dance around people with wealth--or stay a very scrappy, small, underfunded organization. As the co-founder and CEO of She’s the First, Tammy threw out traditional models of philanthropy and created a new community-centric blueprint of engagement. Through social media, creative networking, student chapters, and innovative campaigns, hear how she has led an organization through 10 steady, sensational years, without ever receiving a million-dollar grant, without rubbing elbows with the biggest celebrities, and without burning out. This talk is relatable to both nonprofit and corporate audiences looking to rejuvenate their work.

In her career, Tammy has always been the first person to hold her positions, most notably as the co-founder and CEO of She’s the First. She was also the first in her family to graduate from college. Being a “first” through most of her life experiences has taught her lessons and ways to stand-out that apply to anyone looking to make a lasting impression, whether that’s in climbing the corporate ranks, seeking out a volunteer or board role, or in the job search. You have the opportunity to be the entrepreneurial CEO of your own life, building a career and legacy that you’re proud of. In this keynote, Tammy shares the building blocks to get started or the steps that will affirm the direction you’re already heading in.
