A D.O.S.E. of Story™
 

                                          Engagement isn’t just a goal, it’s a chemical reaction.

 

People don’t take action at work because of data points alone.
They act because they feel something​, a​ connection, inspiration, trust, momentum.

We know​ in today’s distracted workplace, most messages miss the mark.
They inform, but they don’t move.

 

In A D.O.S.E. of Story™, ​I deliver a high-energy, brain-based keynote that shows how the right story​, told the right way​, activates the four brain chemicals that drive connection and performance:

Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins.

 

Using spoken word precision, research-backed science, and unforgettable narratives, ​
I help leaders and teams understand how to create messages that don’t just lan​d...

they linger.
 

Whether your people are in sales, leadership, culture, or communication roles, this talk transforms the way they think, feel, and spea​k, on stage, in meetings, or behind the screen.

Because when your people learn how to tell stories that spark chemistry,
your culture starts to move.

 

 

The Sound of Leadership:

How Listening Fuels Innovation

(Leadership is Listening)

In a workplace full of noise, the real leaders are the ones who know how to listen.

Your people don’t need more talking points they need listening skills that unlock innovation, build trust, and drive collaboration. In today’s world, the leaders who win aren’t the ones who speak the loudest  they’re the ones who hear what others miss.

In The Sound of Leadership, I unpack the competitive edge of listening. With storytelling that moves, research that sticks, and a delivery that engages from start to finish, I show your team how to use intentional listening to fuel creativity, strengthen relationships, and turn moments of silence into strategy.

This keynote is a masterclass in unlocking breakthrough ideas by first tuning into the room. Whether you're leading teams, driving culture, or innovating the next big idea  it all starts with how well you listen.

Because leadership isn’t loud. Leadership is tuned in.

Three takeaways:

​​

  1. The Listening Advantage – Learn how active listening builds trust, drives engagement, and accelerates team-driven innovation.

  2. Transform Silence into Strategy – Equip your leaders with tools to turn conversations into insights and uncover what others miss.

  3. The Leadership Amplifier – Gain simple techniques to build a culture of listening that sparks better decisions, deeper collaboration, and bolder thinking

 

 

The Heartbeat of Belonging,
why we seek, why we stay

 

Retention isn’t just a strategy , it’s a feeling.

People don’t stay at companies because of paychecks alone. They stay because they feel seen, heard, connected, and part of something that matters.
But in today’s fragmented workplace, belonging often gets treated as a buzzword when in truth, it’s the heartbeat of culture, performance, and retention.

In The Heartbeat of Belonging, I take your audience on a journey through the human side of the workplace unpacking the real reasons people leave, and the even deeper reasons they stay.
Using captivating stories, research-backed insight, and poetic precision, I helps teams and leaders rethink what it means to build cultures that feel like home not just work.

Whether your company is hybrid, remote, or on-site,  this talk gives your people the tools to build belonging from wherever they are, and keep your best people right where they want to be.

Three takeaways:

  1. Lead with Empathy – Equip leaders with tangible ways to show care, listen deeply, and create psychological safety that keeps teams engaged.

  2. Build Real Teams – Discover practical team-building strategies that strengthen bonds and reduce siloed work, even across departments or distance.

  3. Create Shared Ownership of Culture – Help both leaders and employees understand their role in fostering belonging, so culture isn’t top-down...it’s all-in.
