Stephanie Staples is an interesting woman.

SheBԪַs slept in an igloo when it was 40 below and has worked briefly as a runway model, a clown and a mascot (a pelican in a very hot suit).

She canBԪַt go underwater without plugging her nose and, while at school, was picked last for every sport she ever played.

She is also a contributing author for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, has written a novel, and is a contributing writer, a radio personality and a digital and online content creator.

In 2013, Staples was awarded the highest designation in the speaking industry, becoming a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP). That award, conferred by the National Speakers Association is the international speaking professionalBԪַs measure of competence.

BԪַI am not the best speaker in the world BԪַ but I am real and genuine and authentic and when I speak whether itBԪַs at Mayo or in the Middle East BԪַ people wake up, people get it,BԪַ said Staples. BԪַNot everyone, of course BԪַ I canBԪַt want a better life for someone more than they want it for themselves BԪַ but enough to matter, enough to know that I am making a positive difference, IBԪַm doing something very necessary, very important.BԪַ

Her latest presentation, entitled Love, Laughter and the BԪַTryBԪַ Angle is a unique blend of storytelling, audience interaction, practical tools, and maybe even a little music. Audiences are left feeling equipped to improve the quality of their lives and, by extension, the quality of the world.

Staples characterizes the evening as a call to action and, judging from the overwhelmingly positive response to her BԪַEvening of InspirationBԪַ event in 2022, it is likely to hit the mark.

BԪַSpeaking, I discovered, allowed me to share my message and help many more people than I could with personal coaching BԪַ I can BԪַcoachBԪַ from the stage and make a significant impact on more people than I ever could coaching one-to-one,BԪַ Staples said.

Love, Laughter and the BԪַTryBԪַ Angle will take the stage at SidneyBԪַs Mary Winspear Centre on Jan. 26. Tickets starting at $45.15 are available at .
