SPEAK UP Talk Series

Event Cancellation

There comes a time in life and business where we must make some really tough decisions. This is one of those times.

With great sadness we regret to inform you that SPEAK UP Talk Series will no longer be happening on March. 2nd 2019. We tried everything in our power to put on the best show for our speakers and our audience alike. We worked day and night to make this happen but unfortunately, we fell short of the mark.

After many setbacks during this time getting the event ready to bring to Vancouver, we had to make the tough call knowing we did not want to put on a mediocre event as we value our community much more than that. We are not willing to sacrifice quality just to throw another event.

We did however build a community and a message that we want to share with the world. That we all have a voice and it’s time to SPEAK UP. We will continue to share that message with our community and the city in which we call home. There is always a message of hope when we share our story.

We at team SPEAK UP are going to look for the future and continue to think of ways of creating value for our community. We would also like to thank each one of you for your time and commitment on this event and to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We just are not willing to put on an event that does not align with our core values as a community and movement.

We will always serve our community and if our community needs us, we will be there to support in anyway we can.

Thank you for being part of our story and community.

Love and light,
Team SPEAK UP

Sometimes our darkest moments bring us our greatest gifts and in Teri's darkest moments, she found help, a new way of being and a new life purpose.

Teri now helps entrepreneurs and high performers to move from where they are to where they want to be in a short period of time. She has studied Peak Performance and Life Enhancement for over a decade and has over 15 years of experience as an entrepreneur.

Brooke has been a dancer for over 30 years, training in various genres and learning how mental health affects everyone on the planet in different ways; from the slums of Kenya, to Indigenous communities in Northern Canada, to corporate leaders and movers and shakers in North America. For the last 10 years, Brooke has had a focus on education world, teaching over 250,000 kids and educators in schools about mental health, anti-bullying, pro-kindness, positive social interactions, self-esteem and so much more, through dance. She has taught dance classes, presented at conferences and trained instructors to teach DANCEPL3Y in Australia, the UK, Kenya, Mexico, and all over North America.

Brooke has worked with companies to not only implement mental health initiatives for the students, but also for the staff. She helped the leaders understand that when their staff’s mental states are healthy, that the organization will thrive. A large part of mental health is human connection, and being able to express yourself and accept others for who they are without judgement. She brilliantly addresses and shifts pain points to help to enhance the team’s leadership abilities, connection and cohesion.

In Northern Alberta, she had the pleasure of working for an mental health organization and her position focused on engaging the youth in all of the schools in that city around mental health initiatives. She worked with the youth to create programs to help their peers understand the impact of social media, mental health, and bullying. As the Youth Engagement facilitator she also focused on youth leadership, eating disorder awareness and su***de prevention to name a few.

Brooke is an energetic, dynamic, playful, passionate, and inspiring instructor which makes her classes and workshops inspiring, and fun and has a gift for connecting with people and helping them become comfortable to open up and be THEMSELVES!

He spent his 20's skiing and biking in the mountains of Whistler, BC; filming, competing and coaching some of the best up and coming athletes in the freeski world. In 2013 after breaking his neck mountain biking, Dave was forced to make a big change in his life’s direction. He then chose to focus more on business and also opened his mind to the world of self development, cannabis, meditation and spirituality.

After studying NLP, life coaching, personal training, reiki, and learning as much as possible about the science of performance, Dave created Grounded CBD in early 2016. Now, a little over two years later, he’s built it up and is in talks with a few of the larger licensed cannabis producers about partnering to be able to legally sell his products all over Canada once cannabis edibles become legal next October. Dave runs Grounded CBD and also does business consulting with a select few clients.
