Some people see the glass half full. Some people see the glass half empty. But Pamela believes if you have a glass you’ve got a reason to grin. In 1998, she founded the Secret Society of Happy People to provide a missing voice for everyone who’s happy and wants to express it without having other people rain on their parade. She recently launched Happier @ Work to help leaders lead happier teams.

Tell us about yourself; who are you and what do you do for fun?
When I’m not working on starting a new company and speaking career I spend time with family, friends and my dog Tater (who thinks he’s a child). I also love yoga, entertaining, and hosting my monthly book club.
What got you into speaking? Is it what you expected?
When I was in 4-H I started speaking and was a trainer for Junior Achievement after college so I’ve been speaking for a long time. Now I’m just trying to make it a paying career. I’m not sure if it’s what I expected, I’m still new to it.
What has been your biggest success as a speaker so far?
My biggest success as a speaker so far was when I got an unexpected call to do a training for 140 employees at a local non-profit.
What was your biggest struggle before finding The Speaker Lab?
Before The Speaker Lab, I really struggled with how to make speaking a business.
How has The Speaker Lab helped you and your business?
The Speaker Lab has really helped me look professional with things like a speakers agreement, 1099, and a bio.
What is your number one goal over the next 6 months to a year?
I want to book 10 paid speaking engagements in the next 6 months.
