Speaking

If you’re looking for a speaker who can challenge your audience to think bigger about business, leadership, and impact, you’ve come to the right place.

I bring real-world experience from both the for-profit and nonprofit worlds, and I’ve spent over two decades helping entrepreneurs, executives, and students turn ideas into action. Audiences describe my talks as inspiring, practical, energizing, and deeply human.

I don’t just deliver concepts—I share stories, hard-earned lessons, and actionable strategies that stick, regardless of your industry.

The topics I’m most passionate about include transformational leadership, entrepreneurship, leading with heart, social enterprise, and navigating change in today’s fast-moving world.

Whether I’m speaking to a room full of CEOs or community leaders, I meet people where they are and help them soar, not settle. I love engaging with audiences through interactive discussions, Q&As, and interviews that encourage reflection and spark momentum.

If your audience is ready to grow—not just in business, but as leaders—I’d be honored to speak at your next event.

Topics I LOVE…

Entrepreneurship
The Entrepreneurial Nonprofit
Building High-Functioning Teams
Leadership
Business Strategy & Growth
Customer Loyalty
Creative Problem Solving

“Just wanted to say your guest appearance on The Implementors podcast yesterday was outstanding. The fact that you are producing 2X and 3X in performance while maintaining the same labor inputs speaks to guiding employees into higher level of bonding with your purpose, efficiency, and elimination of waste. That's standout performance and leadership skills that 'for-profit' organizations can learn from.”

Ted WolfThe Implementer’s Podcast
