Overview:
I speak on the visible and invisible work of leadership. I help leaders and organizations build trust, deliver results, and lead with clarity. Especially in complex and high-risk environments in a world that rarely stands still.
Drawing from leadership experience across special forces, the private sector, and higher education, I offer pragmatic and story-driven talks that connect principle to action.
Speaking Topics:
Leadership
Leadership used to emphasize certainty, setting the direction, and staying in control. Today, it is about creating clarity in the fog, earning trust through emotional intelligence, and moving people with strategic storytelling. In uncertain times, the most effective leaders lead without losing themselves.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence used to be a technical conversation. Now it is a leadership imperative. As AI becomes embedded in daily work and increasingly influences what people see, choose, and prioritize, the real challenge is building literacy, trust, and practical use—not just access to tools.
Future of Work
Shifting expectations, evolving norms, and new definitions of accountability are reshaping how work gets done. As generational perspectives diverge, the future depends on rewriting the rules of engagement—not just the employee handbook.
Public Sector Innovation
Public sector innovation does not lack vision—it contends with layers of bureaucracy that can favor stagnation over momentum. Forward motion often feels riskier than standing still. The path forward lies in balancing accountability with the courage to make imperfect decisions instead of no decisions.
What You Can Expect:
Every talk is designed to make leadership real, accessible, and actionable.
Audiences walk away with a deeper understanding of how to balance visible action with invisible discipline—and how to adapt leadership styles to fit high-stakes, compliance-driven, and shared governance environments. My goal is to meet leaders where they are and challenge them to lead better, with clarity and impact.
