Speaking
The practitioner, not the panel.
Keynotes and workshops for universities, foundations, nonprofits and companies that would rather hear from someone who has run the thing than someone who has only studied it.
Leadership
Building culture, making decisions with incomplete information, and having the difficult conversation before it becomes an expensive one.
Organisational change
Why institutions built to last are so bad at moving — and the change models that survive contact with real staff.
Higher education innovation
Enrolment, student success, AI on campus, and why the org chart beats the strategy deck every time.
Education policy
Federal policy, financial aid, student debt and governance — in plain English, without the politics.
Formats
Keynote — 45 to 60 minutes, built around your institution's actual problem, not a stock deck.
Workshop — half or full day for a leadership team, ending with decisions written down rather than a feeling of momentum.
Panel & moderation — including the production side, if you would like the session to run properly as well as sound good.
Convocation & commencement — for institutions that want a first-generation story told without the violins.
