Since 2006, she's met–on average–3 people a day, and written about the experiences in her popular series, Curiosity Conversations. As power connector and champion for women, Traca leverages her diverse network to bring people together to share experiences, collaborate, and build together.In 2019, she was honored to be an invited speaker at TEDxSeattle. Since its release, her speech, Why You Should Talk Regularly With Strangers, has been translated into 15 languages, and was recently shared with Tim Ferriss' 6 million social media followers. Her speaking sparks action: she's passionate about sharing her curiosity conversations, and has led talks and workshops at MENSA, Creative Mornings, Microsoft, and more. An avid learner, she's currently taking a deep into Executive-level negotiations and how to build next-generation wealth. When COVID-19 is over, she plans to get her private pilot license.
