Speaking

Whether it’s a keynote for a thousand or a private talk for eight, my work is built around one goal: To help leaders remove what’s in the way of what matters most.

Howard’s Speaking Philosophy

Not another speaker. Not another talk.

I’ve spent three decades inside businesses. Running them. Turning them around. Coaching the ones that looked perfect on the outside but were falling apart behind the scenes.

What I’ve learned is this: it’s not about giving people more to do.

It’s about helping them finally see what’s been in the way.

Whether I’m on stage or in a private room, my talks uncover the invisible beliefs, behaviors, and blind spots that hold people back—and keep businesses stuck.

And then, we do something about it.

Howard's keynotes and workshops have transformed business owners, entrepreneurs, and CEOs worldwide, including members of the great organizations featured below.

What I Offer

  • Keynotes

    Thought-provoking, story-driven talks for conferences, companies, and audiences of any size. Built to challenge assumptions, spark internal conversations, and give people something they’ll still be referencing six months later.

  • Private Talks

    Confidential sessions for EO/YPO/Vistage forums, leadership retreats, or executive teams. No slides. No fluff. Just a real conversation about what’s hard to say out loud.

  • Workshops

    Working sessions designed to tackle real business challenges in real time. Built around your people, your reality, and your next chapter—not a generic playbook.

    • I don’t give homework. I create momentum.

    • I don’t tell stories just to entertain. I use them to shift belief.

    • I won’t say “think outside the box.” I’ll show what’s keeping you in it.

  • When a room of leaders finally sees the beliefs and systems that have kept them stuck… that’s when the real work begins.

    I speak to the part of every leader that still wants the business to matter. And who is ready to make work more human.
