Talks That Impact How Leaders Lead
Research-backed keynotes on leadership, influence, and human dynamics.
My keynotes bring clarity, insight, and usable tools that leaders can immediately apply in their day-to-day work.
I've spent my career studying how leaders think, how teams function, and what gets in the way of both. I hold a conversation that challenges assumptions, surfaces new thinking, and leaves people with something they can actually use. Every talk is built around three things:
-
1. The real challenge.
What is holding this organization or leadership population back from realizing its full potential? I don't start with a generic framework, I start with the specific question the audience is sitting with.
-
2. The evidence.
What does the latest evidence from psychology, organizational behavior, and leadership science tell us?
-
3. Providing practical, actionable solutions.
What can leaders do—starting now—to create meaningful and sustainable change?
A sample of topics include:
-
Empathy is being present for what is alive in the other. How do you empathize as a leader—which creates genuine connection—without being pulled into other people’s dramas and troubles?
-
Trust and psychological safety are unquestionably at the root of strong team and organizational performance. But how to be psychologically safe without becoming psychologically soft is the challenge for most leaders and teams.
-
The unspoken but sensed power dynamics in teams and organizations can be the root of strong performance and drive or destruction and conflict. What do these dynamics look like and how do you use them for good rather than turmoil?
-
What are the unique leadership challenges for women and how do they lead for the best results for themselves and others? What behaviors and policies are most conducive to realizing the full potential of all members of the team and organization? And what can leaders do to create inclusive teams and organizations?
-
What are the unique shifts that leaders need to make when going from a functional leader to enterprise leader? What skills, mindsets, and approaches should be taken with leaders as they evolve to this larger-scope role and what needs to be left behind?
