I speak on a variety of topics related to leadership, organizational change, team building, and strategy formulation.       I often use compelling stories, music, and songs to engage the audience into participation and conversation.

​Some of my most popular talks are:

The Real Problem with Diversity ​

Diversity is a buzzword, but beyond political correctness, diversity is a necessity and the engine of adaptability.  However, it runs the danger of remaining a buzz word unless you know how to integrate it into your organization.  Learn the number one barrier to integrating diversity and ways to overcome it.

The Magical Opportunity of Conflict

Many of us spend a lot of time and energy avoiding conflict or trying to end it by winning. However, we usually don't stop to ask ourselves if the conflict we experience can be a gift and opportunity. I have seen teams have transformational breakthroughs when they can work with conflicts, and collapse when they try to blindly gain the upper hand, or ignore them. Find out how you can prepare to fully take advantage of the magical possibilities conflict brings. 

The Power of Vulnerability

Everyone says "Culture Change starts at the top."  The problem is that we begin to think we need to be perfect to be at the top.  In reality, the opposite is true.  We need to be as we are, flawed, for us to inspire true transformation.  Find out what it means to be vulnerable, and identify the vital moment where you can use the power of vulnerability.
