ENGAGEMENT IS THE PAST. ENERGY IS THE FUTURE.
Is your organization focused on the right things to create true cultural transformation, market-leading innovation, and high-performing teams?
You can’t innovate, build trust, and create your best work in a culture of burnout.
90-minute workshops, measuring “engagement”, and Friday happy hours won’t solve your culture, innovation, or retention problems.
What will solve your problems? A deep level of accountability, understanding and engaging the energy of your workforce, and intentional work.

Engagement is the Past, Energy is the Future
New keynote!
The 3 Most Critical U-Turns to Company Culture Initiatives That Need to Start Yesterday.
Organizations spend billions of dollars a year in engagement initiatives, training, and development, and lose billions more in disengagement. They spout trust, innovation, culture, and retention as priority mandates in their OKRs, yet, turnover and burnout are at an all-time high, and consumer trust is low. And now that we’re through the “quiet quitting” trend – “shadow-jobbing” is here. Amongst all this, as organizations work to address the problems of burnout and engagement with quick fixes, platitudes, apps, and 90-minute seminars, the real issues at hand go left unaddressed.
This high-octane emergency session shatters the status quo and gives real-talk as to what to do about the culture and innovation problems you don’t even know you have.
Includes: Keynote, Conference Breakout, or Executive Special Session*
Book: TBD based upon venue, desired impact, and audience.
