This enthusiastic outlook and approach is a mantra Small continually swears by. Currently, Small is a lecturer for the Toronto Chapter of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers and many of her speeches focus on teamwork, team building and the power of a positive attitude. Small is also a Board Member at Canada's Women's Hockey League.
