Speaker & Facilitator

← Back to Services

I've keynoted for tech teams, facilitated multi-day leadership retreats, and run workshops for rooms full of professional speakers. The throughline is that people leave with something real: a framework they can use, prompts they can run, an instrument they can deploy. I'm actively looking for the next stage, conference, or room where that's the right fit.

The only measure that matters is whether someone uses something after they walk out.

Workshops & breakouts

I design for rooms where people have already heard the keynote. They don't need another talk. They need to actually do something with the idea.

The format depends on the audience and the outcome, but the structure is usually the same: a framework or concept introduced, immediate application to the specific context in the room, and a tangible artifact at the end (a tool, an assessment, a set of prompts) that travels with them. Not notes. Not inspiration. Something they can use next week.

I've designed workshops for tech leadership teams working through AI adoption, for professional speakers building proprietary diagnostic instruments, and for executive groups trying to close the gap between strategy and what actually gets built. The topic changes. The standard for what "useful" means doesn't.

  • GSS 2026 — Workshop
    Use Your Genius to Get You Booked. Full-day workshop for professional speakers on building a proprietary diagnostic instrument using AI. Participants left with a working assessment framework and production-ready prompts.
  • Tech team keynotes
    Keynotes for technology organizations on AI adoption, team effectiveness, and the gap between what teams build and what businesses need. Topics tailored to the specific audience and organizational moment.
  • Executive leadership retreats
    Multi-day facilitation for leadership teams working through strategic inflection points — platform decisions, org redesign, culture change. Structured for real work, not off-site theater.
