Speaking & event curation

Speaking that builds the room — not just fills it.

From the White House Sports and Sustainability Conference to Lambeau Field. U.S. Department of State, Hollings Cancer Center, Earth Day on the Mall, and executive convenings nationwide. The platform shows up the same way: the right people, in the right room, ready to act.

For event organizers booking a speaker

A talk that lands. A room that leaves changed.

Three rooms I'm built for

  • Corporate keynotes — leadership offsites, all-hands, conferences. Topics: culture that compounds, team systems vs. hero culture, the operator's playbook for retention.
  • Healthcare and wellness convenings — board meetings, fundraisers, advisory dinners. The patient-advocate voice that lands without sounding rehearsed.
  • Sustainability and environmental rooms — Earth Day, BlueGreen Alliance, State Department, university seminars. The athlete-turned-advocate who's actually done the work.

What you actually get

Story-led, not pep-led.

Real stories from nine NFL seasons and fifteen years of business and advocacy — not “championship mindset” clichés. Specific moments, specific lessons, no fluff.

Custom-fit content.

I learn your audience and your moment before I show up. The talk I gave last week isn't the one I give yours.

Q&A you can run wide.

I take real questions. No prep, no filter. The Q&A is often the part the audience remembers.

Pre- and post-event.

A 15-minute prep call with the host. A post-event recap. If appropriate, a follow-up note to attendees you can share.
