Speeches and Workshops: Turning on Light Bulbs
Many groups are looking for a way to bring the latest trends and issues affecting talent, innovation and intelligent organizations into focus – and to gain confidence and consensus for action.
My speeches and workshops are designed to do just that. With humor – and a clear discussion of the interplay among shifting attitudes, new technologies, changing demographics, and the latest understanding of engagement, collaboration and innovation – I help you “turn on the light bulb” within your group and, at the appropriate time, work through the ideas and approaches best suited to meet your organization’s shifting needs.
All my sessions are customized to the specific needs and interests of your group and can be done as either a keynote lecture of 60-90 minutes or an interactive workshop of 3-6 hours. For workshops, I have developed a number of popular group exercises designed to encourage wide-spread participation, learning, and application.

Custom Education: Building Executive Capabilities
For ongoing learning, I am delighted to partner with you to design and deliver creative, integrated, custom education programs.
I specialize in the design of programs that are customized to your business. Concepts – whether financial skills, new marketing approaches, the latest HR insights, or others – are best learned when presented using the language and examples of your organization, with exercises drawn from the reality of participants’ day-to-day challenges.
It’s important that your investments in education serve multiple purposes – building networks, creating shared understanding, and perhaps most importantly, reinforcing your employee brand. My designs help you create a “Signature Experience” – a program that not only delivers educational content, but also reflects the values and norms of your organization – an experience that reminds attendees “what it means to work here.”
My significant commitment to research provides an innovative base for program design and delivery – in many cases, I can offer proprietary competency models and leading-edge approaches, as well as access to top thought leaders. Depending on the scope of your needs, I work with my colleagues at nGenera and leading teachers from top academic institutions from around the world, as well as your in-house delivery team, to provide a broad range of delivery options.
Through nGenera, I’m able to offer extraordinary program support, if desired, as well as a web-based collaborative platform to enhance learning, including online assessments, peer-to-peer dialogue, measurement, certification and tracking.
Research: Exploring the Next Challenges
I love tackling new challenges – and would be delighted to work with you to explore unknowns that may affect your business. Based on my strong research background, I can help you determine the best way to dig into the questions you need to understand more fully. My creativity and ability to parse complex data to find the important nuggets will help your executive team look at key issues through a new and provocative lens.
There are so many great questions to explore, conversations to hold, and new ideas to share! I’d love to collaborate with you this year – briefly or at length – to exchange perspectives or investigate an issue we both care about.
