From Circus to C-Suite: Leadership That Performs

 

Speaking & Media

The leadership speaker who understands that great leadership is part strategy, part performance, and entirely human.

Most leadership speakers have never led under live performance pressure. I have.

For a decade, I ran 500 shows a year with live audiences, unpredictable animals, and high-stakes entertainment. I learned to read rooms, manage energy, and make real-time decisions when hundreds of people are watching.

That's what I bring to the stage: leadership insights from someone who understands both the front-stage and backstage of leading others.


 

What I Bring:

  • Leadership stories only I can tell—with lessons that stick

  • Understanding of audience energy and timing that comes from live entertainment experience

  • Comfort with unpredictability (when projectors fail or schedules collapse)

  • Insights on managing creative, high-capacity talent

  • A perspective on AI and human leadership that neither fears nor oversells the technology

  • The ability to end on time, regardless of what happened before me

Every talk is custom-built for your audience, your moment, and your stakes.


 

Speaking Topics:

  • AI as strategic thought partner, not replacement

  • Managing chaos without losing what matters most
