It is just as important to know my WHY as it is to know me. 

 My faith is the most important thing to me, and God kept putting me in a situation where I could see the struggles of others and I could see how struggles turned into failures.  

After a decade working for career development teams, a college degree in communication, and three decades of professional experience, I knew it was time to leap, and Speaking Up with Wendy Baird Packard was created. 

I have proven processes in place and love helping people communicate better. 

I love God, my family, bright colors, VW bugs and buses, animals, the beach, smiley faces, Snoopy, antique shopping, and random acts of kindness.

I aim to help and share what I study with as many people as possible. I want to help you maximize your communication potential!
