Retired Army Warrant Officer. Three combat deployments. Over 25 years of combined military and civilian leadership experience. I give people ideas they can use after the event is over.
Signature Talks
Run Your Life Before It Runs You
Blame asks who deserves punishment. Ownership asks what you can change. This talk gives every person in the room a simple reset they can run on any problem, at work or at home.
Resilience Is a System
You don't rise to the occasion. You default to your system. Drawn from three combat deployments and the book Resilience Is Built, Not Born.
Building First Time Leaders
Most people get promoted for output, not leadership. Then nobody shows them how. This talk is for new managers and the leaders who promote them.
Communication and Candor
Teams fall apart not because they lack skill, but because they lack communication. Candid does not mean cruel.
