Speaking
AI Strategy & Change Management Speaker
I help audiences understand why most AI initiatives fail — and what to do instead. No jargon. No fear tactics. Just frameworks, real talk, and next steps you can use Monday morning.
On Stage
What I Talk About
The AI-Ready Strategist
Your organization bought the AI tools. Nobody’s using them. That’s not a technology problem — it’s a people problem. I walk audiences through the 5P Framework (Purpose, People, Process, Platform, Performance) to build AI strategies that actually stick, starting with the humans first.
Change Management That Doesn’t Suck
Change management has a reputation problem. Done right, it’s the difference between a tool your team adopts and expensive shelfware. I cover the RAFT model for governance, how to address the fear factor head-on, and scripts for the hard conversations nobody wants to have.
From Facts to Acts
You’re drowning in data but starving for insights. I teach audiences how to connect measurement to the P&L, build KPI maps that matter, and use AI to find the patterns humans miss — without losing the critical thinking that makes the insights actually useful.
Process Before Platform
Here’s the thing. You can’t automate a mess. Before you add AI to anything, you have to fix the process. I show teams how to identify bottlenecks, score tasks for automation using the TRIPS framework, and write requirements that ensure technology serves people.
The Real Deal
Why Book Me
I’m not going to stand on your stage and tell your audience that AI is going to change everything and they should be scared. Fear-based messaging is lazy, and your people deserve better.
Start With the Humans
Every talk I give begins with the people in the room — what they’re actually worried about, what’s actually blocking them — not a product demo.
Frameworks, Not Buzzwords
The 5P Framework, TRIPS scoring, the RAFT model — these are tools your audience can take back to their teams and use immediately. Not theory. Application.
Honest About What I Don’t Know
I’m not a data scientist. I’m not an engineer. I’m the person who makes sure the data scientists and engineers are building things people will actually use.
Equal Parts Ranty Pants & Expert
Your audience will laugh, they’ll think, and they’ll leave with something concrete. I make hard topics approachable — and I make sure nobody leaves without a next step.
