ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
https://www.linkedin.com/in/meganbillnoske/
Megan Billnoske specializes in energy, innovation and simplification – she just happens to do training, speaking and coaching. Having lived through the ups and downs of leadership in corporate, non-profit and now as an entrepreneur, she’s laser-focused on her mission – to build champion leaders that can accomplish anything at work and in life.
Her Purpose & Mission -- In 2022, she left corporate after 12 years to launch her own leadership company, IMSPIRE, LLC - a name modeled after the word 'inspire' - to breathe life into. In only her second year of business, she increased revenue by 4,000% with her marketing, communications and community service efforts to build her authentic brand. Because organizations partnered with her company in 2024, Megan then decided to create the IMSPIRE University Scholarship - further living her purpose by breathing life into students (and bringing her clients along the way).
Her L&D Experience -- In her 15-year L&D career, Megan has trained 16,000+ leaders worldwide, worked across three key facets of Learning & Development (safety, leadership, and technical), led virtual teams, implemented multiple LMS platforms, created Learning Councils and spearheaded three company-wide strategy teams. The key to success is clean and simple project management.
Organizations She's Worked For -- Throughout her career, Megan has collaborated with some of Texas’s most reputable organizations in healthcare, production, manufacturing, oil and gas, retail, higher education, Global Fortune 500 companies and more. Today, she continues to make an impact as a trusted partner with clients like HEB (the largest privately held grocer in the world) and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (the world’s largest rodeo), building even more champion leaders.
Where She Volunteers -- ** Current President, National Speakers Association (NSA) Houston ** 2024 & 2023 Houston Business Journal 40 Under 40 Award nominee ** 2021 & 2022 Conference Chair, ATD Houston
