SPEAKING
Talks that move the room.
Three signature keynotes built on thirty years of coaching, four books, 4,650 assessments, and original research — adaptable to coaches, executives, and broader audiences alike.
SIGNATURE TALKS
Three keynotes. One framework.
Each talk earns its place through track record — delivered at ICF chapters and conferences worldwide, refined across hundreds of audiences.
For coaches · ICF CCEU-approved
The 3 Brains Connection
The Missing Link for Long-Lasting Coaching Results
Formats: Keynote (45–60 min) · Workshop (half-day with practice) · ICF CCEU-approved.
Why most coaching plateaus, and what changes when Head, Heart, and Gut work as one. Built from 4,650 real assessments and three decades of clinical work, this talk introduces ICF-credentialed coaches to the framework that closes the gap between client insight and client action.
The talk most coaches book first — because it explains the cases they've been stuck on for years.
AUDIENCE LEAVE WITH
-
The neuroscience of Heart (~40,000 neurons) and Gut (~500 million neurons)
-
How to identify which brain is blocking your client right now
-
Why head-only coaching produces head-only results
-
The release codes for the twelve biological protectors
TRACK RECORD
Delivered across ICF chapters in Australia, Belgium, Hong Kong, Slovenia, San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, Heartland, Malaysia, Russia, Norway, Romania, Michigan, and Pune — plus five years of International Coaching Week sessions, 500–600 participants each.
For executives & L&D
Three-Brain Leadership
Why Mindset Culture Keeps Failing Your People
Formats: Keynote (45–60 min) · Executive offsite (half- or full-day) · C-suite working session.
The corporate keynote built on original research presented at International Coaching Week. For executives, HR Directors, and L&D leaders who've seen mindset programs roll out — and roll out again — without producing the behavioural change the business actually needed.
The argument: leadership decisions live in three brains, but most leadership development reaches only one. Until the Heart and Gut are part of the curriculum, your high-performers will keep burning out and your culture work will keep dissolving on contact with reality.
AUDIENCE LEAVE WITH
-
Why burnout is a Heart-brain phenomenon (and why mindset training can't reach it)
-
Why trauma lives in the Gut (and why your high-performers won't tell you)
-
The decision-making signature of head-, heart-, and gut-dominant leaders
-
What changes in team performance when all three brains are aligned
TRACK RECORD
Original research presented at International Coaching Week. Adapted for executive teams across 42 countries. Underlying framework featured in Washington Mail, America Age, The American Reporter, CEO Weekly, and The US Journal.
For general & public audiences
Break Free to Thrive
The Biology of Burnout, Trauma, and Real Change
Formats: Keynote (30–45 min) · Extended teaching session (half-day) · Customisable to specific audiences.
The TEDx-style talk built around the 2026 book of the same name. One core argument, multiple audience-specific angles — making it the most adaptable of the three for event organisers with specific demographics to serve.
Three documented versions have been delivered, each tailored to a distinct audience profile while sharing the same biological argument: that real change is a state, not a strategy, and that state is learnable.
AUDIENCE LEAVE WITH
-
Why willpower fails — the neurology of why "trying harder" rebounds
-
How protectors form in the Heart and Gut (and why mindset can't dissolve them)
-
The state of coherent action — what it feels like when three brains stop fighting
-
The release codes — how change actually happens, biologically
TRACK RECORD
Anxiety & burnout — special presentation for HypnoBizz. Highly sensitive persons (HSP) — International Coaching Week 2024. Neurodiversity — International Coaching Week 2025. Each adaptation reframes the core argument for the room.
