On civic engagement, running for office, and what next-gen leadership actually looks like in practice — from someone who's built an organization, written two books about it, and isn't going to give you a TED Talk full of empty inspiration.
I speak on next-generation leadership, millennial and Gen Z management, civic engagement, and running for office — for corporations, nonprofits, universities, and conferences. Every talk is shaped around the specific audience. I don't do one-size-fits-all.
Every engagement is shaped around your audience. These are the areas I know best — and have been asked to speak on most.
01
Next-generation leadership
What millennial and Gen Z leaders are doing differently, why the old playbook is failing them, and what good management actually looks like now.
02
Leading to meet the moment in 2026
How you can create a workplace that sets clear expectations, delivers on them, and keeps everyone from burning out.
03
Building organizations under pressure
What it takes to build and lead a mission-driven organization when the stakes are high, the resources are limited, and the world won't stop changing.
04
Authenticity & identity at work
How to show up as yourself without surrendering your whole self to your role — especially when you're the one setting the culture.
05
Civic engagement & democracy
What's broken, why individual action still matters, and how to move people from feeling overwhelmed to doing something specific.
06
Running for office
Why the next generation should run, how to decide if you're the right person, and what actually happens once you do — the parts no one tells you.
