Speaking & Workshop
Shifting how leaders think about change, complexity, and their own capability
What Your Audience Gains
Through evidence-based frameworks and practical guidance, your audience explores the leadership challenges that matter most right now: navigating ambiguity, building inclusive cultures where diverse talent thrives, leading teams through transformational change, and integrating AI in ways that strengthen rather than replace human capability.
You get content grounded in real experience, not theory. With 25+ years leading large-scale change initiatives at PwC and IBM, coaching hundreds of leaders across industries, and building organizations from the ground up, your audience receives insights and stories that resonate because they’re rooted in the messy reality of organizational life.
Core topics include:
Leadership Development
Building leadership presence, cultivating signature brand + style, and leading with influence regardless of
positional authority
Women's Leadership
Navigating the unique challenges women face in leadership, from imposter syndrome to elevating visibility to work-life integration
Change Management
Leading transformational change in volatile environments, building organizational agility, and sustaining momentum through uncertainty
AI Adoption & Integration
Developing strategic clarity on where and how to integrate AI, preparing teams for the shift, and creating governance frameworks that balance innovation with responsibility
All content can be tailored to your organization’s context, industry, and audience. If you’re looking for a topic not listed here, custom content can be designed specifically for your event.
How We Work Together
Four formats are available: workshops, panel discussions, keynotes, and podcast interviews. Each format is designed for different settings and outcomes.
Regardless of format, you gain a collaborative partner who takes time to understand your audience, organizational context, and the outcomes you’re working toward. The content fits your event, not a generic template.
You get a speaker who shows up prepared, delivers on time, engages authentically with your audience, and makes your job as an event organizer easier, not harder. Your audience will appreciate that you chose a speaker who balances challenge with warmth: someone who’s walked the path they’re navigating and knows how to meet them where they are.
Leadership Development Workshops
Interactive, skills-based sessions that combine teaching, discussion, and application to real challenges participants are facing.
Workshop topics cover the full leadership development spectrum: building presence and personal brand, mastering influence and communication, developing resilience and mindset, navigating change and conflict, and integrating work and life with intention.
Each workshop can be tailored to your audience and delivered in formats from 60 minutes to full-day engagements, either in-person or virtually. All workshops include pre-work, facilitated learning, and post-workshop action planning.
Your participants leave with tangible outcomes: strategies they can apply immediately, frameworks for navigating complexity, and action plans tailored to their context.

Panel Discussion
Collaborative conversations that bring multiple perspectives to complex leadership topics. Your audience experiences practical insights grounded in real experience and a willingness to engage nuanced, sometimes uncomfortable questions.
Keynote Presentations
Compelling, story-driven presentations that inspire, challenge assumptions, and shift how leaders think about their work. Keynotes are typically 30-60 minutes and can be tailored for conferences, organizational summits, or leadership offsites.
Podcast Interviews
In-depth conversations that explore leadership challenges, career navigation, and organizational change. Past appearances have covered leadership development, women’s career advancement, AI-empowered leadership, and the realities of working parenthood.
Podcast formats offer a chance to go deeper on topics that matter, share real stories, and connect with audiences in a more intimate format.
