Leadership keynote speaker

Let me bring ethics to the heart of your conversation

Fresh, honest, and human. The kind of talks that make people stay after to keep the conversation going.

Talks that make ethics practical

After two decades spent considering values and ethical practices in education, tech, and business, I can bring specific experience on the topic to your conference or event.

I speak about what it means to lead with coherence, to bring your values into action, in real time, with real people. Because leadership isn’t just about decisions or direction, it’s about relationships, presence, and the everyday practice of ethics.

As a leadership keynote speaker, I don’t offer quick fixes. I invite audiences into deeper awareness of themselves, each other, and the systems they navigate. My talks are designed to provoke insight, encourage honesty, and make space for what’s often left unspoken.

Why invite me to speak?

My work is for people asking profound questions—about how we lead, who we are, and what we’re building together.

I speak most often with values-driven leaders, founders, and professional associations navigating change, tension, or opportunity.

I don’t show up to impress. I show up to engage. My presence is invitational: it creates space for people to hear themselves think, connect with each other, and surface what might otherwise go unsaid.

What makes my talks different isn’t polish, it’s intimacy. Whether I’m on stage or in a circle, I listen as much as I speak. I don’t just bring insight, I bring attention. And I trust the room to meet me in that.

Topics I speak on

As an ethics speaker, I bring themes that meet the moment and the room. My topics often emerge from the needs of the audience, but here are some common threads:

Human Operating Systems

How values, identity, and power show up in daily decision-making

Business as Relationship

A way of showing up, being, and interacting with the world

Making Ethics Actionable

Bringing your inner compass into your outer context

Work, Grief, and Renewal

Creating space for what’s real in professional settings

From Concept to Practice

How teams can turn shared principles into shared behavior

Different formats, same approach

My speaking work is collaborative and responsive. I don’t walk in with a script. Instead, I prepare with you, so what I bring meets the moment your audience is in.

  • I enjoy facilitating learning, giving people permission to follow their truth.
  • I enjoy conversations with people and evoking awareness. I love seeing people light up with realization.
  • I especially enjoy when the learning goes both ways.

The formats of the sessions I lead include:

Keynotes

They spark reflection and invite curiosity.

Panels

Either as a speaker or a moderator,
my approach is rooted in depth, not performance.
