Keynote Topics

Embrace the art of Being Proximal—keeping learning and unlearning at the heart of personal and collective growth. Through the lens of The Beekeeper, we explore how leadership begins with intentionally choosing your Be Mindset: defining who and how you want to be as a leader. Inspired by traditional beekeepers who cultivate thriving hives, we ask leaders to become Be Keepers—those who remove obstacles, foster growth, and create the conditions for others to thrive and "pollinate" their organizations with purpose and impact. Participants will leave with a renewed commitment to authoring their leadership story and practical tools to nurture transformative growth.

Explore the power of building a star system—a leadership model where we shine brighter, better, richer, and stronger together. Drawing from The Stargazer: Unleashing the Brilliance of Building Brighter Teams, we’ll dive into how leaders can actively choose their lens, like the James Webb Telescope, to illuminate brilliance within themselves and others. Building on the art of learning to Be Proximal, we celebrate diversity of thought and voice, recognizing that our differences make us shine brighter. By embracing and deconstructing the Compass framework, participants will have the tool necessary to help navigate leadership and teamwork effectively.

In this high-impact, story-driven keynote inspired by The Diver, audiences are invited to submerge beneath the surface of routine operations and explore the hidden forces that truly propel organizational growth. This isn’t a speech about working harder—it’s an interactive journey into how curiosity and authentic connection unlock a state of organizational flow.

Through compelling storytelling, practical frameworks, and real-world business examples, participants will discover how to think like a diver: observing what’s below the surface, embracing ambiguity with courage, and uncovering the “undercurrents” that make teams stronger, more collaborative, and more innovative.
