Speaking
I speak as a practitioner: everything below is something I run, not something I researched. Writing comes first for me, so I take a small number of engagements where the audience is a genuine fit.
Topics
75 to 1,500 is its own discipline
Why small and mid-market businesses aren’t scaled-down enterprises, why most software and advice built for them fails, and what serving the generalist actually takes.
You’re the roadblock
Delegating ownership versus delegating tasks: how leaders become their organization’s bottleneck, how to read engagement data as a mirror, and the question that replaces “how do I solve this?”
Culture is designed, not inherited
What acquisitions expose about implicit culture, why every tradeoff argument is really a missing system, and how to build a leadership playbook people actually use.
Where I’ve done this
Most of my stage time comes from UKG’s own circuit: customer conferences including UKG Aspire, internal and partner events like GTMX and RPX Live, and leadership summits, including keynoting UKG’s Global Leadership Team Summit. At one Aspire I presented five sessions in a single afternoon, which I now cite on stage as a personal failure of delegation.
For podcasts and panels: I don’t need questions in advance, I bring positions rather than talking points, and I’m at my best when the host pushes back.
