Speaking
& Facilitating

My keynotes are designed to challenge assumptions and create lasting shifts in how people think and act.

Each talk is tailored to your audience and focused on the real drivers of performance: psychological flexibility, emotional intelligence, leadership under pressure, team dynamics, and the conditions required for psychologically safe, high-performing cultures.

This is not a generic motivational talk. I offer expertise in rigorous behavioral science combined with real-world application, delivered in a way that stays with people long after the event ends.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Emotional Fitness in the Workplace

  • Owning Your Psychology for Leaders

  • Psychologically Safe Teams Are Psychologically Flexible Teams

  • The Art of Flexible Selfing
