Speech Topics


The Invisible Forces That Prevent Candor & Collaboration

Why is it so hard to have difficult or uncomfortable conversations with my colleagues? Is it possible to create a culture where we move TOWARD feedback rather than AWAY from it? This engaging keynote is powerful and gives leaders and teams an understanding of what gets in the way of hard conversations. You and your team will leave with tools and frameworks to identify and navigate through the most common pitfalls and blindspots preventing candor and collaboration.

How to Create a Thrilling Vision for Yourself & Your Team

We have found that most leaders and teams are vastly underestimating their capabilities. So, how do you become masterful at setting a vision worth going after? How do you know when you’re playing small? Our favorite definition of vision is a picture of the future that creates passion within you. This keynote will allow you to craft a vision you’re excited about and mindset shifts to go after it.

How to Give & Receive Feedback Effectively

Even leaders and teams that think they give and receive feedback regularly fail to do it effectively. But the reality is we usually inflate how often we give or receive it, which slows down results. This engaging keynote gives practical tools and psychological frameworks to help you build and strengthen your feedback muscles.

The Art of Cultivating a Growth Mindset

The word "mindset" gets thrown around a lot these days. But is it just "wishful thinking"? What does it actually look like to have a growth mindset? And how do I help my team cultivate it? We will look at the science and practical aspects of helping you and your team create ways of thinking that help you get more done in less time with higher satisfaction.

Avoiding Burnout: The Path to Sustainable Success

A recent Forbes article details that almost 50% of employees and 53% of managers said they were burned out at work. As an executive coach, it's very common for my clients to think that the solution for burnout is a vacation, but most of the time, they find that does very little or nothing to solve the problem. So, is burnout unavoidable for high performers? This keynote/workshop will help us discover the true cause of burnout and how to infuse energy and motivation into your life and work.
