Inspiring People To Say
Yes To What’s Next.
I tell true stories about belonging, confidence, and one small “yes” — and audiences leave believing it’s not too late for them.
Keynote Topics
My signature talk. How one small “yes” can open the door to confidence, community, and change — told through true stories of people who walked into a room as strangers and walked out with their people. Audiences leave believing it’s not too late to start something new.
Podcast Appearances
I love a good conversation. Over the years I’ve talked training, injury prevention, and what it takes to help people reach for more — these days, most of that conversation circles back to belonging, community, and the courage to say yes. If your audience cares about any of it, I’d love to bring something real to your mic.
Workshops
Interactive sessions for groups, teams, communities, and organizations that want more than a talk — they want to practice it. We roll up our sleeves and work on confidence, connection, and building a stronger sense of belonging, together, in the room.

Small Habits, Big Wins
Consistency doesn’t require perfection. Colleen Riddle teaches anchor habits—simple routines that stabilize energy, mindset, and performance even
during chaotic seasons.
Let’s Find the Right Fit.
I’ve spoken to audiences of all sizes, but the common thread is always the same: people looking for more confidence, stronger connections, and the courage to embrace what’s next.

For Clubs & Communities
Bring Me to Your Club.
This one’s for pickleball clubs, book clubs, and any group that already gathers and wants the evening to mean a little more. I’ll bring a short talk on belonging and connection — no lectern required — built around an evening of open play, easy conversation, and one favorite tradition: the Belonging Ball. It’s an oversized pickleball that every guest signs with one word and their first name, then it stays at your facility for good — a little piece of the evening that keeps doing its job long after I’ve gone home.
