Speaking Experience

I've spent three decades advising, coaching, and turning around companies of all sizes. My talks aren't just theoretical—they're built on real-world experience with what actually works.

The biggest lesson I've learned? It's the invisible beliefs holding companies back, not the strategy. It's the mindset that creates the breakthrough, not the latest business framework.

My talks are interactive, tailored to your audience, and designed to provoke real change—not just provide real entertainment.
