Motivational Speaker

Selena Wilkes never really looked at herself as a motivational speaker until she kept getting asked to present keynotes at local and regional events. What has transpired since has been one of the most wonderful surprises in her life. 

Selena is now dedicated to delivering powerful keynotes to a wide-array of audiences all over the country. Selena also mentors and conducts workshops and training to smaller groups—ranging from CEO’s to middle school and high school athletes.

She has been recognized for her accomplishments in both her personal and professional life, and her drive for excellence and passion to make a positive impact in this world is what drives every decision she makes. Her greatest reward, however, is the strong interpersonal relationships she builds along the way.
