Speaking
Talks that ship
Working sessions and keynotes at the seam of leadership, project discipline, and applied AI. Available for engagements beginning August 2026.
What the Army Taught Me About Rolling Out AI
Adoption is a leadership problem before it's a technology problem. What two decades of leading change inside a large institution — and a working practice of building AI applications — predict about your AI rollout: where it stalls, who quietly decides its fate, and what actually moves the middle of the organization.
The Critical Path Is a Leadership Document
A schedule isn't a spreadsheet — it's a statement about what the team believes. Drawing on project controls work across $50M–$250M capital programs: how CPM discipline changes the conversations leaders have, and how to read a schedule the way a commander reads a plan.
The Interior Life of Leaders
Most leadership failures trace back to something unattended inside the leader. A practical talk on the habits, rhythms, and honest friendships that keep leaders whole under real pressure — drawn from two decades advising commanders and cadets at every echelon.
Leading Through Transition
What I've learned about endings, thresholds, and beginnings — from my own transition out of uniform after twenty-four and a half years, and from sitting with hundreds of soldiers walking theirs. For teams navigating change bigger than a project plan can hold.
