I speak about creativity, storytelling, leadership, and transformation

I speak about creative leadership, organizational transformation, brand narrative, and the human side of AI adoption.

Through podcasts, panels, roundtables, and leadership forums, I explore how leaders can introduce new technologies, build cultures of trust, and create the conditions for people and ideas to do their best work. My perspective is shaped by more than 25 years of building brands, leading multidisciplinary creative teams, and navigating change inside complex, mission-driven organizations.

My work connects strategy, culture, creativity, and execution, with a focus on the leadership decisions that determine whether transformation becomes meaningful, responsible, and real.

The One Club for Creativity - 2026 Creative Leaders Retreat

Breakout Session: Creativity Under Pressure

How do you sustain bold, high-quality work when pressure intensifies?

TThe world feels so volatile right now. Cultural. Political. Technological. Environmental. Economics. This conversation suddenly feels more relevant than ever. We are under pressure. That pressure is not abstract. It is ambient. And it is showing up inside our organizations. And within our teams.

Creative teams struggle when volatility (external and internal) outpaces systems. When expectations shift midstream, urgency remains undefined, and bold thinking is suppressed before it has time to mature.

Empathetic leadership alone cannot help. Operations and leadership design have to rise to meet the needs of the team.

It takes work to support our teams. Resilience has to be shaped and built with intention. Resilience is designed.

Agents of Change Summit

Keynote Speech: Storytelling for Behavior Change (Speaker)

I delivered a keynote on how organizations focused on public health can harness the power of storytelling to drive real public health behavior change. Instead of chasing glossy marketing trends, I showed leaders how to own their credibility and lead with purposeful narratives, turning facts into emotionally resonant, actionable stories. I introduced my SCENE framework as a strategic tool to help public sector teams craft messaging that builds trust, breaks through skepticism, and moves people to act.
