Empowering parents to lead with purpose, empathy, and emotional intelligence.
A transformational keynote by mother–daughter speakers Petergay & Zoraida de Souza
Petergay and Zoraida have been featured on NBC for their message on courage, connection, and generational leadership.
A Keynote That Moves People to Take Bold Action
Every audience wants courage.
Every organization wants momentum.
Every community wants a connection.
​
The challenge is hesitation.
People know what they need to do, but fear, doubt, perfectionism, and overwhelm hold them back.
​
The Power of the N.O.D. removes those barriers.
It gives audiences a clear, unforgettable framework that turns hesitation into movement.
​
Name it. Own it. Do it anyway.
This message sparks courage.
It creates bold action.
It transforms rooms.
Meet Petergay & Zoraida
A mother.
A daughter.
Two generations.
One powerful message.
​
Petergay and Zoraida speak with a rare dynamic you don't find in traditional keynote speakers. They bring:
-
Youth voice + adult wisdom
-
Vulnerability and courage
-
Real-life lived experience​
​
Their presence on stage bridges the gap between generations and builds trust instantly. They show audiences exactly what courage looks like across age, culture, and life experience.
​
This keynote is not a performance.
It's a lived message.
The N.O.D. Framework
A simple, unforgettable process for any audience.
Name It
Speak the truth—the fear, the dream, the desire you’ve been avoiding.
Naming it breaks denial and brings clarity. You cannot change what you refuse to name.
Own It
Take responsibility for your decisions and your direction.
Ownership gives you power.
It removes excuses and activates courage.
​
Do It Anyway
Act before you’re ready.
Move with shaky knees.
Take bold steps while fear is still present. Courage grows through action, not perfection.
​
Audiences leave understanding that they do not need confidence first.
They need movement.

This keynote creates emotional and practical breakthroughs.

The Mother–Daughter Advantage
What makes this duo unlike any other speaking team:
Two generations on stage
Audiences hear both sides of the story — the battle-tested wisdom and the brave, unfiltered youth perspective.
Real, lived experience
​They speak from truth, not theory. Their message is rooted in what they have walked through together.
Emotional connection
Audiences see themselves in the mother. They see themselves in the daughter. They see their families, teams, and communities reflected back at them.
Courage modeled live
Their relationship itself becomes the message. Their vulnerability becomes the invitation. Their connection becomes the blueprint.
No other keynote delivers this dynamic.

-
