Keynote Speaking on Communication, Leadership, and Working Across Languages. 

I customize keynotes for your audience, your theme, and your room.

Talks are drawn from a career spent watching people communicate when something was at stake: on service floors, in boardrooms, and in rooms where half the people were working in a second language.

Here are a few curated examples:

Communication Under Pressure

What changes in a capable person when the stakes rise, and what is actually trainable.

Leading Across Languages

What happens to expertise, humor, and authority when they have to travel through a second language.

Presence Without Performance

Why most advice on executive presence produces imitation, and what a more durable version looks like.

Being Heard and Being Understood

The gap between delivering information and having it land, and how to close it for good.

Every keynote starts with a conversation about the room.

Who is coming, what they already believe, what the day is for, and what you need them to think about on the way out. Talks are developed from there rather than selected from a list.

Available for leadership conferences, company events, professional associations as well as learning and development programs both on-site and virtually.

The subjects above are areas rather than fixed titles. Topics are always developed with each client.
