Talks & Keynotes

FEATURED IN:

Connecting with audiences to inspire action

Your team is tired of boring keynotes that they can’t even relate to.

Ready to engage your audiences while giving them practical tools they can deploy right away?

That’s where I come in. Bringing a decade of experience driving team operations in tech giants like Google, Apple, and Microsoft, I’ve seen it all – and I’ve seen a lot of keynotes. 

I’m here to share stories from the trenches, show your teams they’re not alone in whatever they’re experiencing, and share tools they can use immediately to feel more inspired and show up better in their work. 

Speaking topics include:

  • Owning your accomplishments – how to break the trap of “good work just gets noticed” and shape a career narrative that communicates the impact you make on your team
  • Failure as feedback – understanding the lessons of failure and how to make it safe on our teams so we can inspire a growth mindset that yields better results
  • Inclusion is more than a happy hour – based on my LinkedIn Learning class with over 80k downloads, this talk teaches managers 3 keys to building an inclusive team. Hint: it isn’t just having more social events
  • Building an unstoppable team – based on my bestselling book The Unstoppable Team, I share the 6 keys to fueling a sense of ownership on your team to transform employees into profit generating machines

Got a topic you want to build momentum around? I’ll build something custom for your team!
