I have a passion for understanding the "why" behind it all. I take a human approach to how I engage and ultimately seek out new business opportunities. Having been a part of three very different sales organizations I've learned best practices from incredible leaders, and gained a deep understanding around the marketing/sales strategies that help power highly successful teams to deliver results. In no particular order, I'm a Business/Sales/Tech/Comic/Animation/Nature/Photography nerd.

XayLi was hugely popular with our 1,800+ attendees as she discussed how to create a course your audience loves! I would highly recommend hiring her for any speaking event you may have coming up in the future.” - Stephanie Liu. “Over the past three years, Thinkific has worked closely with XayLi to grow the Think in Color event into what it is today (in 2021, TIC had 25,000+ attendees).
