Speaking

Over the years, I have spoken to dozens of audiences at venues ranging from large industry conferences to leadership offsites to teen workshops.

I like to mix stories and demos, and my aim is to inspire bolder thinking and offer practical tools that anyone can use.

“Your presentation gave many of them new thoughts! That is the best start for new actions.”
— Response to a seminar for Director Generals

  • Fostering a Radical Innovation Mindset & Skill Set

  • Creating a Skunkworks Culture of Innovation

“Your keynote was fantastic! It set the tone for the whole day!”
— Director, European innovation agency
