Meet Denise,
your Can-do-ologist

“Let me keep this simple, if you want something done, get Denise on the case.”

— George Hofheimer, founder, Hofheimer Strategy Advisors

Can has always been a part of Denise’s vocabulary, and inspiring other Can-doers has become her passion.

She is an international bestselling author, professional speaker, and mentor on the power of change. During her tenure as the Chief Innovation Officer of the Filene Research Institute, she led the prestigious i3 (ideas, innovation, implementation) program throughout the United States and Canada. Most recently, Denise served as Chief Operating Officer at the Northwest Credit Union Association. Throughout her professional career, she has embraced—and inspired others to embrace—living with a can-do mindset. This can-do mindset has helped her and the teams she has led get the right things done with enthusiasm.

As with most Can-doers, Denise finds joy in empowering others to embrace the power of can like she has. In fact, she’s made it her life’s work to do so. She encourages everyone she meets to stand in their authentic power, realize that they can generate their own happiness, and supports leaders and organizations in creating a vibe that attracts Can-doers and retains them. Denise can’t harbor the can-do mindset for herself only. She has to share it. Well, she can share it, and she does. And in doing so, she’s built a passionate community of Can-doers.

Denise loves stories . . . loves people . . . and loves telling people stories! In fact, she loves to create environments to harvest these stories and share her can-do stories with others through her empowering speaking engagements.
