Letters to My Daughter Elisa M Hays

The little book of big ideas for a confident, wholehearted, badass life! Everyone, no matter their age or gender, needs positive mentoring and words of wisdom from someone who inspires them. Because sometimes life hits you like a truck. In 2014, creative designer and entrepreneur Elisa Hays met life-shattering tragedy, looked it square in the face, and bravely survived the unthinkable. Refusing to act the victim, she said, "This is my life; I get to choose!" Instead of letting the circumstances cripple her, she recognized an opportunity to share her unique perspective and remind others that their life is their own for the making. ELISA HAYS is a Certified Speaking Professional-a designation held by less than 13% of professional speakers globally. She is a sought after authority on empathy fueled leadership, resilience and inclusion. In addition, as a Certified ADA Coordinator, she consults with organizations on ways to improve accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. Elisa lives in Washington state with one husband, three kids, and a codependent service dog named Belle. She wears a tiara at every opportunity.
