Book IWD Speaker: Phebe Trotman

Six-time national champion, Hall of Fame athlete & entrepreneur helping audiences turn setbacks into momentum through resilience, mindset & leadership.

What do you do when the plan falls apart, confidence takes a hit, or the next step isn't clear? Phebe Trotman knows how to rise, and how to help others rise with her.

A six-time national champion, multi–Hall of Fame athlete, award-winning entrepreneur, bestselling author, and speaker, Phebe brings a rare combination of elite-sport experience, business leadership, and real-life resilience to every room she enters. Her message is not simply about getting through challenges; it's about learning how to use them as fuel for what comes next.

Phebe has lived what she teaches. She has won six national championships across Under-19, NAIA, W-League, Premier, and Masters competition. Along the way, she earned honors including W-League Player of the Year, British Columbia Adult Player of the Year, NAIA Women's Soccer Player of the Year, NAIA Championship Finals MVP, two-time First Team All-American, and Simon Fraser University's Female Athlete of the Year. She has also been inducted into the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame as an athlete, with team inductions in the BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, the BC Soccer Hall of Fame, and two teams in the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame.

Phebe's story goes far beyond trophies. Her transition from elite athletics into entrepreneurship required her to redefine success, navigate uncertainty, build an online business, and keep moving through the inevitable setbacks along the way. She ultimately rose to the top rank with her company and earned international recognition including Global Distributor of the Year, Global Trainer of the Year, Runner-Up Global Distributor of the Year, and Top International Customer Sponsor. Phebe has been featured in Success From Home and Networking Times, where she has shared her experiences navigating the transition from elite athlete to entrepreneur, overcoming self-doubt, and building a life and career with intention.

That journey became the foundation for her Amazon bestselling Never Quit on a Bad Day® book series and the message she now brings to audiences around resilience, mindset, confidence, leadership, personal growth, and intentional action.

Today, Phebe speaks to leaders, teams, athletes, and organizations looking for practical tools, not just inspiration. Through her speaking, workshops, coaching, and programs, she helps audiences strengthen their mindset, build resilience, take ownership of their next step, and create stronger cultures around them.

Her ability to connect with people of all ages has taken her message from school gymnasiums and the NAIA Women's Soccer National Championships to a global convention of more than 2,300 online entrepreneurs. In 2026, she was invited to speak at The Climb 2026: Elegant & Empowered in Barbados, an experience centered on personal growth, courage, and community.

       "She's as great on stage as she is in person and all our attendees loved her. Phebe is such a motivational and thoughtful speaker." - Darren E. and Mike D., Global Convention of Online Entrepreneurs

Phebe offers a message that is both personal and practical: you do not have to have everything figured out to move forward. Sometimes rising means changing direction. Sometimes it means rebuilding confidence. Sometimes it means recognizing that a setback is not the end of the story.

With the credibility of a champion, the perspective of an entrepreneur, and the heart of a mentor, Phebe leaves audiences with more than a great story; they leave with a different way of looking at their own challenges and the confidence to take their next step.

Her philosophy is simple: Never Quit on a Bad Day.
