Mel Dorion is a bilingual coach, speaker, and Slow FI strategist who delivers warm, values-based keynotes and workshops that shift mindsets and build confidence—without shame, pressure, or jargon.
You want your audience to feel inspired, supported, and ready to take meaningful action—but without the right speaker, money conversations can leave people overwhelmed, disconnected, or even discouraged. If your event doesn’t create space for reflection and practical clarity, it may unintentionally reinforce the very pressures your audience is trying to escape.
Attendees walk away confused or intimidated by financial jargon
Important topics like burnout, caregiving, or emotional stress are overlooked
Your audience feels pressured to adopt rigid financial strategies that don’t fit their lives
Participants are left with insight—but no tools to take the next step
The topic of money triggers guilt or perfectionism, rather than confidence and hope
Diverse voices and lived experiences aren’t reflected in the conversation
When you invite a speaker who understands both the practical and emotional sides of money, your event becomes more than just informative—it becomes transformational. My talks are designed to connect, inspire, and equip your audience to take meaningful steps toward a balanced financial life.
If you’ve ever struggled to find a speaker who can talk about money in a way that feels both meaningful and practical, you’re not alone. Many events fall flat because the conversation stays surface-level—or skips the emotional side of financial well-being altogether.
I bring over a decade of lived experience and professional coaching to every talk I give. I’ve helped thousands of individuals, couples, and communities rethink how they relate to money—through warm, values-driven conversations that leave audiences feeling empowered and seen.

(Please note: I don’t sell investments or insurance — I focus on financial education and values-based clarity, not product sales.)
Too many financial talks leave people feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or like they’re already behind. Traditional advice often focuses on strict rules or unrealistic goals—without space for emotion, complexity, or values. That’s why I approach speaking as a chance to shift the conversation.
I offer warm, bilingual keynotes and workshops that blend practical tools with emotional clarity—helping people feel confident about money without shame or pressure.
By connecting financial education with real-life challenges and meaningful values, I create space for your audience to reflect, reset, and move forward with a sense of calm purpose.
As a coach and educator, I don’t sell investments or insurance. My focus is helping people move forward with confidence — not selling financial products.
Before you book, explore the kind of reflection-driven, shame-free approach I bring to every talk.
The Financial Compass Tool is a free guide that helps individuals pause, reflect, and identify what’s working (and what’s not) with their money—so they can take their next step with calm confidence.
You don’t have to choose between practical content and emotional resonance. Let’s co-create a talk or workshop that gives your audience tools, clarity, and connection—with a message they’ll remember long after the event ends.
