LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

I’m AN INNOVATION KEYNOTE SPEAKER, AUTHOR, AND MUSICIAN. AND YOU?

Hey there, great to meet you.

I help organizations who are struggling to keep up with competitive threats, overwhelmed with the pace of change, and craving innovative approaches to growth.

As someone who has spent 30 years building companies, disrupting industries, and driving change, I’d love to team up to inspire your audience. Don’t worry, I’ll also make sure they leave better equipped to grow and win.

There’s nothing I love more than energizing an audience and moving them to action.

(shhh... don’t tell my wife Tia. I love her too, but man...I just live for firing up a crowd as an innovation keynote speaker.)

TOPICS AND OUTCOMES

I’ve delivered over 1000 keynotes and have the frequent flyer miles to prove it. Yet, as an innovation keynote speaker, I’ve never given the same presentation twice.

For each opportunity, I start with a blank canvas. I take the time to learn about your objectives, audience, and business. My team and I do a bunch of research (while guzzling coffee and eating pizza) to handcraft my presentation for your specific needs.

That said, here are a few examples of keynotes I’ve delivered in the past to give you a sense for what to expect (click on any topic to learn more):

RIGHT FIT? YOU TELL ME.

DELIVERING A KEYNOTE IS REALLY, REALLY FUN.
BUT THERE'S MORE.
I TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY.

HERE'S WHAT I BELIEVE...

  1. That great keynotes are the right balance of fun and practical; entertaining and substance.
  2. The only reason to give a keynote is to move people to action. If people don’t leave better, I failed.
  3. A great keynote is about the audience, not the speaker. Keynote speaking is an act of service, not boastfulness.
  4. Nobody wants a canned speech. Wouldn’t you prefer content that is custom-crafted for your audience?
  5. Life’s too short for drama, especially from your speaker. You deserve a zero-maintenance, white glove service experience.
  6. The real measure of a keynote: how much impact remains in six months? Or two years? I focus on crafting keynotes that count.
