About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Nicole Cannella's speeches are direct to and from the heart with a peppering of irreverent and sometimes self deprecating humor. She has spoken to a gamut of life stages; as the theme of her talks derive from her NY Times featured book, Leaving a Mark. She begs the question "How do you want to leave your mark for better in this life?" Her muse, and foreword writer, Dorian D Strong Murray, made a wish as he faced terminal cancer, to be "as famous as I can before I go to heaven". While that news-captured defining moment became the conduit to her book, and speaker the entire globe to respond to him in love, she realized shortly afterward that that hope, to be known as much as you can before you're gone, is universal and ageless. Thus, her speaking career came to fruition. Her muse since passed on at the age of 8, but she continues to speak in his honor, shedding light on not only cancer, but faith, friendships and legacy leaving . Nicole has overcome panic attacks so she can address anxiety with an unorthodox comedic slant while getting to the root of it's reach. She has a heart of Christian faith, so is at ease speaking to audiences on topics of spirituality. She has overcome a broken family and unpredictable childhood, so feels comfortable speaking on such topics; and while she has no medical background nor experience in palliative care, she has learned a tremendous amount through the lens of pediatric cancer fighters and respectively, their loved ones. Her background as a trained film and theatre actor make her at ease on stage, while her degree in literature and her subsequent authorship give her a way with words. Her first children's book, The Ribbit Exhibit, tackles the topics of bullying and empathy in schools and was borne of the atrocity in Colombine. Her latest, was created because of a wish CS Lewis made regarding telling the tales of the Bible through the eyes of the animals who lived them, and two of her works are illustrated by Emmy nominated Disney and Veggie Tales artist, Tim Hodge . She has produced her own motivational conference entitiled, From the Ground Up with women survivors who have been seen on MSNBC, on Capital Hill, Inside Editon, and global media. In the words of Shakespeare, "Though she be but little, she is fierce." Her candor is palpable and heart very much on her proverbial sleeve. Her speeches have been heard at *prestigious universities and colleges including Boston College, Wheaton College and Gordon College*. She has given keynotes at Relay for Life Events, *Women's Leagues, *elementary schools regarding bullying, *in world renowned hospitals*, and to seniors in end of life.*. She is an officiant, so she can speak with comfort at weddings, but just as easily in a collegiate or corporate environment. * Her work can be seen in the globally read site, Love What Matters, in Flourish magazine, in The New York Times * in The Associated Press*, on Chronicle's Good Reads, on The Rhode Show and more. She can be found doing signings or readings at beloved independent or national bookstores, or among her three children exploring New England's literary or cultural spots. She is currently working on her next literary project and continues to spread a message of connection via empathy and the goal of leaving a mark for good.
