Reenergize Your Audiences
I’m a speaker who helps people and organizations navigate life’s in-between moments — those times when the ground shifts and you’re no longer who you were, but not yet who you’re becoming.
I call it “the trapeze moment” — to grow, you have to let go. I show you how to look forward to looking forward, even while you’re still mid-air.
For more than 25 years, I’ve stood alongside leaders, teams, and individuals facing big changes — professional pivots, personal milestones, shifting family dynamics, even the reinvention of entire organizations and sectors. My keynotes blend courage and possibility, because curiosity and imagination are your most powerful tools when everything feels uncertain.

Finding Forward: Navigating Transition Without a Map
Times of transition are more frequent, last longer and are harder than most people expect. Whether chosen or thrust upon you, change usually leads to a period of unsettledness that people often describe as thick fog, As a transitions coach and organizational strategist, I help you understand what’s happening, reframe it in helpful ways and move through those in-between times with more clarity. Spark the energy, curiosity and vision you need to embrace life’s mid-air moments and shape your next chapter with boldness and conviction.
Change is constant — but few audiences get actionable language and tools that speak to the emotional and practical experience of navigating it well. This engaging and relatable talk offers insight that can be transformed into immediate action.
What this talk delivers
- A clear model for mapping transition stages you can anticipate resistance and support movement.
- Tools to help you align decisions with what is most important so that you can move out of paralysis and into purposeful action — without forced positivity.
- Tips for reducing the hidden costs of transitions on your focus and mojo so that you can be energized rather than drained by it.
Energizing Adaptability: Change That Fuels You Instead of Draining You
Adaptability is consistently ranked as a top leadership skill of the future. But we often find ourselves tired of change, feeling overwhelmed or stuck instead of purposeful and focused when the context is volatile and we don’t have full information. We know we need to be adaptable but aren’t sure how. Let’s talk about how to increase your individual and collective Adaptability Quotient to lead well in uncertain times, so that people can learn to surf the waves rather than waiting for the sea to be calm.
We don’t get to choose whether we adapt. But we can choose a more energizing path to get there, and we can learn to do it well.
What this talk delivers
- Shared language leaders can use to normalize and embrace adaptable behaviours
- Evidence-backed, customized pathways to adaptability
- Practical habits to minimize change resistance and prevent burnout so that people are more energized by the need to adapt rather than depleted by it
- Confidence that positive change is possible, because adaptability can be measured, learned and improved
Serious Imagination: Alignment Around a Future Worth Pursuing
Stepping into a future we actually want — societally, organizationally or personally — requires us to move beyond evidence and past experience and into the realm of collective imagination. Imagination is not only for children — it’s a strategic imperative for future-ready, mature leaders. Let’s talk about why and how imagination is something we need to grow into, not out of.
Imagination is more than rainbows and unicorns. And vision is more than a statement on your office wall. They are strategic superpowers that can turbocharge progress toward a future worth getting excited about.
What this talk delivers
- Access to a larger, more creative toolkit for shaping a compelling future
- A practical framework for using intentional imagination to lead to better options, more aligned decision making and faster execution.
- Specific strategies to get serious about imagination
