Keynotes and Other Presentations


My presentations are the result of my work with all types of organizations and my own inner journey as a consultant/leader. These presentations are designed to be engaging and thought-provoking -- catalysts to conversation in the Boardroom as well as at the water cooler.

“Driving Fear Out of the Workplace” -- summarizes the award-winning, co-authored book by this name. Explores the research and main ways managers can create a trust-based, high performance work place. Related presentations and seminars on organizational culture change, overcoming cycles of mistrust and “discussing undiscussables.”

“The Courageous Messenger” -- summarizes key points from the co-authored book by this name. Covers how to effectively prepare to share tough information with peers, employees, and top managers while strengthening these key relationships.

“Leadership in Place: Core Practices for the Personal Journey” – this presentation emphasizes six foundations for effective leadership: 1) knowing your personal leadership challenge, 2) giving and receiving feedback, 3) self-care, 4) enhancing influence with others, 5) discussing undiscussables, and 6) effective collaboration. (Also available as a 1-2 day workshop)

“The Path of Integrity: Authentic Action as a Leader” – covers the core process of self-development of leadership skills, including defining one’s itch to grow, asking oneself challenging leadership questions, overcoming internal “voices” that lower esteem and risk-taking, taking irreversible action, and dealing with the shadow sides of integrity.
