Whether you’re hosting a conference, a corporate event, or an executive leadership session, I bring a rare combination of real-world experience and practical advice to every stage. I’ve delivered keynotes at national agile and product conferences, spoken at the Business Agility Conference in New York, presented at Agile DC and Lean + Agile DC in Washington, and guest lectured at Harvard Business School. I bring that same energy and depth to every engagement, regardless of size. My talks span agile transformation, product strategy, intentional living, AI’s impact on teams, and building the kind of culture where people actually want to do their best work. I tailor every talk to your audience, and I offer a speaking fee that can be shaped to fit your budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
