Keynotes on leadership, change management, and the clarity to make important decisions — for leaders and organizations navigating an age of transformation.
Talk topicsAbout me
My keynotes help leaders and teams turn obstacles and disruption into fuel for what’s next, with evidence and strategies drawn from the most resilient systems on Earth on how to lead…naturally.
My work — at the intersection of climate, technology, music and the systems we live within — has taken me to 43 countries and 6 continents. I’ve spoken and performed on stages from Google to TEDx to Bioneers — for executives, ambassadors, mayors, and graduating classes.
I’m the founder of COMPOSTARS, a mission-driven technology platform scaling digital infrastructure for composting across the United States.
