Speaking
Thank you for considering me for your event. While I am always interested in sharing my enthusiasm for all things related to strategy, leadership, and success, the most important aspect of speaking engagements for me is connecting with my audience. I enjoy sitting side-by-side with leaders, unpacking complex problems and designing solutions. No matter what industry you’re in or situation you’re facing, my goal is to inspire you to embrace change, challenge traditional thinking, and strive for excellence in your work.
I am available as guest speaker/seminar leader for events ranging from conference keynotes, executive education sessions, leadership retreats, workshops, and podcasts and interviews. Working from my experience as a founder/CEO/board member/advisor, I speak on the strategies that foster innovation, adaptability, and continuous improvement. When applicable, my goal is to make these topics come to life through thought-provoking conversation.
