SPEAKING
Ideas are only useful if people can understand what to do with them.
I’m an experienced speaker, interviewer, and moderator known for making complicated ideas feel clear, human, and actionable.
Over two decades, I have spoken to audiences about everything from parenting and overwhelmed lives to creative entrepreneurship, career change, and communication. Today, my strategic advisory work also brings me into conversations about narrative, organizational coherence, and communicating through complexity.
What I speak about
Communication + organizational clarity
How organizations find the story underneath the noise, communicate through moments of change, and create greater alignment between what they believe, what they say, and what people actually understand.
Possible topics could include strategic communications, narrative coherence, communicating through change, and translating complexity for different audiences.
Work + creative life
What twenty years of building an unconventional career has taught me about reinvention, entrepreneurship, creativity, decision-making, and knowing when the old version of your work no longer fits.
Editing your life
Practical, research-informed conversations about overwhelm, parenting, priorities, and making more room for what matters — without turning life into another optimization project.
Every engagement is shaped around the audience and the conversation you want to create.
Not every great conversation needs a keynote.
I’m available for:
Keynotes and talks
Panels and fireside conversations
Moderation and interviewing
Workshops and facilitated conversations
Podcast and media appearances
