Inspiring audiences through passionate storytelling based upon my experiences of personal growth while leading global teams and programs.

 

I would characterize my style as casual, transparent, energizing and spirited.  I love “leadership unplugged” where the scripts are few and the stories flow, particularly with smaller audiences seeking to build communities of leaders.  My primary past focus has been on presenting on servant leadership and building inspired teams, building inclusive talent systems and scaling military programs.  Please reach out directly to me to discuss your ideas and see if I might provide a spark of inspiration for your company or team.
