Wendy’s Speaking Topics
Wendy shares her expertise and experiences through energetic talks covering several topics, including building a culture of generosity, bridging generational differences, and empowering you and your audience to greater action.
Building a Culture of Generosity
Creating a culture of generosity is an inexpensive solution that brings measurable results. Organizations that give and encourage generosity enjoy the benefits of a more empathetic and ethical staff, increased creativity and confidence, and higher reported job satisfaction.
In Building a Culture of Generosity, Wendy demonstrates the very real power of generosity, including tangible organizational and personal benefits. Then, she breaks down the process of building generosity practices into your life and work.
Bridging the Generational Divide
Including your children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews in your giving doesn’t just help them to become more generous adults—it brings benefits today. Children who give back have higher levels of self-esteem and are more optimistic, less likely to be depressed, and less likely to have suicidal thoughts.
In Bridging the Generational Divide, Wendy provides relatable examples and lays out the framework for making authentic connections across age gaps and philosophical differences through a shared love of giving.

LINDA WAHL
“Our city had the pleasure of a visit from Wendy Steele. Wendy visited our city over several days and spoke to nonprofit agencies as well as over 600 Chamber of Commerce members at their monthly meeting. She is a captivating speaker, both passionate and inclusive. The best comment a speaker can have is that the audience was listening and engaged. When I overheard someone I didn’t know make the comment that people weren’t checking their phones, I knew you hit a four-run homer.”
