My life's work is helping people be happy. Not the fluffy kind of happy. The right career, the right people in the right roles, and a family business that doesn't wreck the family.
Every talk draws on the same HAPPY framework, so you can mix and match for your audience.
For entrepreneurs and leaders who want to be as intentional about their lives as they are about their businesses. Built on the happy work life MAP framework and tested live with entrepreneurs around the world.
Also available as a half-day workshop →Best for: Entrepreneurs, founders and leaders
Unconscious bias runs through almost every hiring process: the candidate who plays the same sport as the CEO, the one who went to the same university, the one who "just felt right." These aren't hiring decisions, they're pattern-matching dressed up as judgment. This talk explains why gut feel fails, what actually predicts performance, and how an assessment-led process works for SMEs without needing an HR department.
Best for: EO chapters, Vistage/YPO, SME conferences, HR conferences, leadership forums
My flagship talk. I bought two businesses from my parents, nearly walked away from the first over generational conflict, and eventually built the 5 Ps of Successful Succession: Purpose, Pick, Prepare, Promote, and Patience. This is the talk that gets family business owners nodding in recognition and taking notes at the same time. Real, practical, personal - and it usually ends with a difficult conversation people now know how to have.
Best for: EO chapters, Vistage/YPO, family business associations, accountancy and legal firm events, entrepreneurship conferences
