What Candace is Passionate About

It could happen to you!  

Candace believes that the first step in NOT getting injured is knowing that you CAN be. Her unimaginable experience dispels the myth that we are invincible; what you don’t know, in fact, can hurt you – lessons Candace learned the hard way. In guiding audiences through a very personal account of the day that changed her life forever, Candace recounts her thoughts and talks about her then subconscious belief that nothing “bad” could ever happen to her.

Candace focuses on identifying the many contributing factors that led to her injury while assuming responsibility for her own role in the incident.  She encourages people to take a leading role in their own health & safety and to embrace their right to an injury-free and healthy environment. She believes safety is a state-of-mind or attitude that we must carry with us throughout our day to day lives.

A slight departure from the presentations that Candace is most well known for but still just as motivating. Half-Priced Pedicures is a humorous and uplifting discussion that focuses on the power of positivity and possibility. This inspirational account, recalls several pivotal moments throughout Candace’s recovery from a workplace incident that most certainly set the tone for the path she has been travelling on since losing a limb. 

Candace demonstrates the roles that hope, and positivity have played in her life and celebrates the little things in life that can lead to big changes. Candace’s story will inspire her audience to never underestimate the power we must speak or act in small ways are life changing, to themselves and to others, in enormous, unforgettable ways. 

SCHOOL TOUR  

Candace is committed to the well-being of our future workforce and believes that a safer workplace starts with well-informed youth. As part of her work, Candace partners with clients to offer speaking engagements at local schools and colleges while on tour. Candace speaks about her typical life as a student, working a summer job when one step in the wrong direction changed the course of her life, forever. She delivers her powerful story and unique life lessons with a mix of humour and harsh reality that continues to resonate with students across North America. 

These are just a few of the topics Candace covers and since she doesn’t use a standard approach with slides/videos she offers a unique ability to quickly tailor her presentation to incorporate current events and special topics while addressing the interest of her audience and needs of her client.
