Media & Speaking: Building Better Workplaces

Constructive, useful talk about OKRs, strategic planning, and creating space for square pegs in a round-hole world

From Fortune 100 boardrooms to intimate leadership workshops, I share practical frameworks and provocative insights about transforming how we work. Whether I'm talking about modernizing goal-setting through OKRs, building truly strategic organizations, or creating workplaces where innovation, transformation, and dissent thrive, I bring a unique blend of deep expertise, refreshing candor, and practical, actionable “go do’s” to every conversation.
