Barbara Demone at a Good Morning, Life! book signing
About Barbara Demone
Author. Keynote Speaker. 25-Year Financial Services Leader.
Barbara Demone is the author of Good Morning, Life!
Barbara is an Ivey Business School graduate, an author, a results-oriented financial services executive, and a dedicated mom.
Her 25 years in financial services spanned leadership, risk governance, and banking regulation — roles where she learned that when people are at their best, engaged, and empowered, it leads to innovative solutions, better risk decisions, and high-quality, long-term results for organizations. Leading with authenticity and helping people reach their potential is a key driver of her success.
In her book, Good Morning, Life! One Woman Waking Up to Happiness, One Moment at a Time, she shares her formula for happiness and success as a parent and full-time professional. Barbara brings her mindfulness practice to the service of successful leadership and compassionate parenting — and the deep satisfaction of a life well lived.
Today, Barbara combines her professional experience with her passion for happiness, mindfulness, and well-being to inspire individuals and organizations to create happier lives, healthier workplaces, and stronger cultures.
She shares The Happiness Formula and its application in the workplace at corporate speaking events and workshops.
Her professional background and personal experience shape every talk she gives: speaking from inside the pressure of the corporate world, not as an outside observer.
Event organizers who’ve booked Barbara describe her delivery as warm, engaging and practical – leaving audiences inspired and with tools they can use immediately. Her emphasis on application over theory is deliberate as the Happiness Formula was built to survive a demanding job and daily life. Check available dates.
She lives with her husband and two boys in Oakville, Ontario.
