Talks & Workshops

Topics I speak on.

What if you can't fail?

Bending your perspective on your own potential. A signature opening keynote on agency, identity, and the science of self‑efficacy.

The Evolving Workforce

What's actually changing about work — and what isn't. Generational dynamics, AI's effect on managers, and the durable shape of leadership.

Hidden Treasure

Optimizing motivation in a shifting world of work. Grounded in psychology's strongest research on engagement.

The Science of Influence

Evidence‑based strategies for building authority and influence — for leaders who want substance over performance.

Cross‑Cultural Leadership

Leading across countries, generations, and cultures. Drawing from research and consulting in the US, Mexico, India, the UK, and South Korea.

Victim vs Agent

Moving from reactive to proactive leadership. A framework for agency, responsibility, and intentional action.

Relationships over Profit

Why workplace relationships predict satisfaction, retention, and performance — and how to build them deliberately.
