I Dare Ya to Do the Things That Light You Up

REIGNITE ENERY, COURAGE AND POSSIBILITY

Award-Winning Host | Bestselling Author | Experiential Leadership Speaker | Facilitator & Emcee

Hi, I'm Adera.
I'm here to serve the people who need a little kick in the pants to do the things they're here to do, be who they're here to be, and show up in a way that feels true to them.

It's the whole "I dare ya to do the things that light you up!" thing.

I want to reignite your energy, courage, and sense of possibility so you can be, do, and have all the things your heart desires.

I love working with leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and misfits who know there's something more for them. They just need a little help owning it, stepping into their power, and taking action.

I also love speaking to organizations, associations, and everyday people who need a pick-me-up from burnout, overwhelm, and disconnection.

Let's Connect

On behalf of the IDEA Committee, thank you so much for an incredible session today. It gave us all a much needed pause from our routines and a chance to reconnect with ourselves. The breathing exercises and mini meditation were both grounding and truly refreshing.We really appreciate you sharing your time, energy, and expertise with us!"

My promise is simple.
Whether we're together for a keynote, retreat, workshop, facilitation, content strategy session, or leadership experience, you'll leave feeling lighter than when you arrived—with more energy, more courage, more clarity, and a renewed sense of what's possible.

Because when you reconnect with yourself, you don't just feel better.
You lead better.
You create more.
You contribute more.
You live more fully.
So...
I dare ya to do the things that light you up.
No matter who you are or where you are, there's more in you than you think, and I'd be honoured to help you discover it.

The Light Up Experience

Let's Explore What's Possible
​For Your Next Event

No two audiences are the same.

That's why no two Light Up Experiences are either.

Every keynote, workshop, retreat, facilitation, or strategy session is designed around the people in the room and the transformation they're looking for.

One moment audiences are laughing. The next they're reflecting, connecting, sharing openly, and discovering new possibilities for how they lead, work, create, and live.
Because transformation doesn't happen through information alone.

It happens through connection.
Through courageous conversations.
Through shared experiences.
Through giving people permission to be more of who they already are.

People leave feeling more energized, more connected, more courageous, and ready to take meaningful action.

Thank you Adera for this wonderful session, for this opportunity to reflect and recharge collectively, and take a break from our regular routine- much needed and appreciated!"

Adera's Story: Seen & Heard - On Her Own Terms

I was never afraid to be seen. But I was often challenged to be fully myself in spaces that rewarded fitting in, playing it safe, and staying small.

For years I heard:
Tone it down.
Be more professional.
Fit the mould.

Instead of shrinking, I chose a different path—one rooted in courage, authenticity, human connection, and meaningful impact.

Through co-founding SPIRO Creative and working alongside speakers, executives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, I discovered something powerful.
The most impactful leaders aren't the loudest.
They're the most real.
The most connected.
The most alive.

Today, I create Light Up Experiences that help people reconnect with themselves so they can show up with greater energy, courage, authenticity, and possibility.

Because when people feel safe enough to fully be themselves...
Everything changes.
People don't just hear them.
They feel them.
They remember them.
And they're inspired to create meaningful impact.

Hear What Others Are Saying:

"Adera brought an absolute light to our conference. The majority of topics at our conference had a real training feel to them, and Adera brought a fun, engaging energy that really broke up the sessions throughout our day. Adera cares about the group she is speaking to. From our first point of contact to her following up after our event, Adera made sure that her message would be powerful enough to resonate with the entire group. Not only was her presentation executed perfectly, but she also noticed my nerves, and helped make sure that I was confident in planning my first corporate event. Adera has provided our team with strategic marketing material, and on a personal level has helped me find my light again. Our group will not hesitate to contact her in the future and I look forward to working with her again. Thank you Adera!"
