What I bring to your ROOM
I teach people how their brains actually work—especially under pressure—and how to use story, science and strategic play to shift into clearer, more courageous thinking.
My keynotes blend neuroscience with real-world absurdity and interactive moments that wake up the room and give people tools they use the same day (and often for years to come).
TALKS THAT LIGHT UP
YOUR BRAIN
Three high-energy, science-backed talks that improve the way your teams think, communicate and perform under pressure.
MAKE ME CARE
Storytelling • Communication • Leadership
Why the stories you tell shape what you see, what you do and the futures you create.
Most people think they’re making decisions based on facts—but your brain is constantly pulling from old stories that run the show. This keynote reveals how story drives attention, emotion and action, and shows your people how to use it to communicate clearer, collaborate better and spark real change (without burning out on information overload).
-
Participants leave with tools to:
Spot the outdated stories shaping their decisions, communication and reactions under pressure.
Reframe unhelpful narratives into clearer, more productive ways of thinking.
Communicate ideas so people actually care — and remember.
Reduce conflict and confusion by aligning around a simple “old world → new world” story.
Make faster, calmer decisions in moments that normally trigger overwhelm.
Spark team alignment and forward momentum without burning out.
PLAY TO WIN
Creativity • Collaboration • Problem-Solving
How strategic play sparks clarity, creativity and courageous thinking under pressure.
Play isn’t just “fun”—it’s the brain’s fastest route to learning, adaptation and breakthrough ideas. This keynote uses neuroscience and humor to show teams how play unlocks better problem-solving, resets stress and opens the door to bolder, more original thinking. It’s energizing, interactive and wildly useful for anyone facing complexity or decision fatigue.
-
Participants leave with tools to:
Use strategic play to reset stress and regain mental flexibility in high-pressure moments.
Unlock more creative, original ideas by interrupting rigid thinking patterns.
Improve problem-solving by tapping the brain’s natural learning and exploration systems.
Build psychological safety so people speak up, share ideas and collaborate more freely.
Break through decision fatigue with energizing techniques they can use immediately.
Make work feel lighter, more engaging, and more human—while driving performance.
Need something custom for your group?
I also tailor science-based keynotes and immersive workshops or deep-dive sessions for leadership teams, innovation groups and company offsites.
Let’s chat.
