EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP SPEAKER & KEYNOTE PRESENTER
A practitioner who speaks from experience.
I bring 25 years of doing the work into every room I speak in. I’ve led led through acquisition, navigated dysfunction, and built teams in high-pressure environments. I talk about the frameworks but ground them in stories. No theory without application, and no ideas without the opportunity for action.
I bring real talk that earns the room.
Book me for keynotes, panels, or podcasts. Get a taste of my thinking on my blog. And subscribe to The Compass, my monthly newsletter where I share perspectives on leadership teams and the leaders on them.
Signature Topics
Every topic draws from the same core conviction: every day you cast a leadership shadow. It’s shape, depth and texture is up to you.
Leading with Ease
Leadership is hard. It doesn’t have to feel heavy.
Leadership will never be easy. But it IS possible to lead with ease. In this keynote, I share how a career crisis gave me the opportunity to reassess how I was leading. Participants leave with a new model for leadership, and tangible actions and practices to lighten their loads and lead with ease.
Change Leadership
Lead yourself and your team through change.
Change is the permanent condition of growth-stage organizations. Most leaders are equipped to drive change; fewer are equipped to lead themselves through it first. This session addresses both: the internal work of the leader and the relational work with the team.
Emotional Intelligence
EQ as the key leadership differentiator
Technical excellence gets you into the room. EQ determines how long you stay and what you’re able to do there. This session cuts through the soft-skills framing and addresses EQ as a concrete, developable leadership competency with real business consequences.
