Speaking
Humor is the secret sauce to braver teams, innovation
I’ve helped dozens of companies, hundreds of teams communicate and innovate bold new ideas, change their relationships and help leaders keep their best people.
Laughter is the single greatest predictor of healthy culture. When there’s no laughter, there’s no trust and no innovation. I call it, “None-ovation.”
When laughter, trust and innovation leave, your best people aren’t far behind. It’s my mission to help change that so people are nurtured, culture thrives and so does laughter and big ideas.
I offer talks for leaders and customized versions for their teams.
My most popular talk: Brave Fuel℠: Bolder Leaders and Teams Who Innovate The Future.
Leaders, ready for you and your teams to be braver? Let’s talk!
