Keynotes and Workshops

I speak to leadership teams, executive peer groups, and conferences about how people with no obvious advantages get ahead, and what changes when an organization stops waiting for permission.

By combining story with research, I show what changes inside an organization when people are given permission to act. I’ve delivered this message across the U.S. and in more than two dozen countries, and every talk is built entirely around the people in the room.

Signature keynote

The Mindset Imperative

Knowledge and skills are no longer enough.

For nearly two decades, I’ve studied the mindset that enables people and organizations to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world. This TED-style keynote reveals a three-phase framework that leaders and their teams can use to build a culture of innovation, initiative, and ownership at every level of an organization.
