Your audience leaves with one thing they can use that night.

Keynote

We Have Belonging Backwards

Most of us were taught that you earn your spot and then you belong. This talk is about belonging first, and what changes for a team when nobody has to earn their way in.

AI

Your AI Chief of Staff

I show the room how I run my week on AI, including the parts I still keep for myself, and then they try it on their own work. Also available as "The Confident Beginner's Guide to AI" and "AI in Our Homes."

Good for: leadership teams, parks and recreation, associations and conferences, chambers, and community networks new to AI.

Leadership

The Systems That Burn Out the People Who Care Most

For leaders watching their best people burn out. It's usually the systems, and the talk covers which ones to fix first.

Good for: nonprofit and association leadership, sport and recreation organizations, workplace-culture conferences, and HR audiences.

Money

Two Lists and Twenty Minutes

My family paid off more than $100,000 of debt starting with two lists. Your audience builds theirs in about twenty minutes. No shame and no investment advice.

Good for: employee financial-wellness events, membership groups and chapters, and parent communities.

Confidence

You're Not Behind

Most people walk into a new room thinking they're behind. I still feel it. This talk is about building confidence from what you've already done.

Good for: emerging-leader programs, recreation and youth sport conferences.

Booking a speaker

Tell me the date and who's in the room.

I'll send a one-page description of the talk that fits. If you're a volunteer program chair with a slot to fill, that's a perfectly good reason to write.
