Speaking

I help leaders make sense of complexity — and act with clarity.

I speak to senior leaders, operators, and organizations that operate in environments where uncertainty, speed, and consequence collide. My work draws on special operations experience, complexity science, and organizational psychology to help teams adapt without losing coherence.

Speaking Topics

These talks are grounded in real-world experience and designed for leaders who don’t have the luxury of certainty, perfect information, or time.

  • Leading in Complexity — how high-performing teams make sense of uncertainty, adapt under pressure, and avoid brittle success
  • Decision-Making Under Pressure — navigating bias, incomplete information, and consequences when the cost of error is real
  • Culture as a Strategic Asset — how everyday behaviors shape trust, accountability, and performance long before a crisis
  • Resilience at the Individual and Team Level — sustaining performance over time without burning people out or hollowing the mission

Who This Is For

I work with organizations and leadership teams operating in environments where decisions carry real consequences — where speed, uncertainty, and interdependence are not theoretical concerns, but daily realities.

  • Senior leadership teams navigating change, growth, or disruption
  • Operators, managers, and professionals working in high-stakes environments
  • Organizations seeking to strengthen decision-making, culture, and resilience — not through slogans, but through practice

What Changes After the Talk

My goal is not motivation for its own sake. It’s to leave leaders and teams with clearer mental models, a shared language for complexity, and practical ways to improve how they think, decide, and adapt together.

  • Leaders gain clearer frameworks for making decisions under uncertainty
  • Teams develop a shared language for navigating complexity and change
  • Organizations surface hidden assumptions, risks, and feedback loops
  • Follow-on conversations shift from what happened to what needs to change
  • Resilience scales from individuals to teams to organizations

Let’s Continue the Conversation

Speaking engagements often lead to deeper conversations about leadership, culture, and organizational health. If you’re interested in exploring what meaningful change could look like in your context, I’m happy to start with a conversation.
