We are excited Marlee Huber will be our August Spotlight speaker

Marlee Huber is an author, speaker, coach, and photographer who is passionate about exploring beauty, creativity, wisdom, and wonder—and inspiring others to do the same. With a background as an academic librarian, Marlee brings a researcher’s depth and curiosity to every topic that captures her imagination. She has a gift for helping people tap into their unique creativity, find their authentic voice, and share their stories with confidence and clarity.
Though once painfully shy, Marlee spent over 40 years in direct sales, where she learned how to genuinely connect with people anywhere, anytime. Through persistence and heart-centered leadership, she built a successful nationwide business with Noevir, a Japanese-based anti-aging skincare company, ultimately earning the prestigious title of Diamond Director.
This year, Marlee and her husband—an engineer who keeps her grounded while she brings color to their world—celebrate 49 years of marriage. Together, they’ve raised two daughters and now delight in the lively adventures of their five grandchildren.
In Marlee’s 20-minute talk she will share: How to Start a Conversation with Anyone, Anywhere: A Guide to Meaningful Connection.
