Talks rooted in practice, not theory.
Every talk I give comes from something I’ve lived through as an HR leader or seen close-up as a coach. No slides full of frameworks nobody remembers. Just direct, evidence-based ideas people can actually use.
Leading across cultures
The things no one tells you before the first day. After two years running HR across APAC, I have real opinions about what goes wrong and why.
The conversation you keep almost having
The talk version of the most common coaching theme I see. What’s in the way, what it costs, and how to actually have it.
What dignity in leadership looks like
Not a soft talk. Dignity as a hard operational commitment — what it changes in how you hire, fire, and give feedback.
Scaling a people function past 100
The concrete moves. What to build in what order, what to resist, and what most founders get wrong in the 30-to-200 stretch.
Talks run 30–60 minutes. Workshops run half-day or full-day. Both available in-person (Portland preferred) and remote. For availability and fees, start with an intro call.
