Your people don’t need another droning lecture.

They don’t need another “motivational” megalomaniac.

They need real help. That’s why I’m here.

My talks don’t just inspire, inform, and entertain. They activate.

They leave a lasting impression. They shift daily perceptions, choices, and behaviors.

My goal is to leave your audience moved to make change. On fire about new, doable ways to feel and function better. 

Check out my speaker’s reel (this page) for a glimpse.

What I talk about …

New-Era Survival Skills: The Way of the Healthy Deviant

Appropriate for thoughtful audiences of any sort, from classrooms to board rooms, this lively keynote covers the essential principles of Healthy Deviance and a plan for beating our culture’s unhealthy odds. I serve up game-changing insights and transformative how-tos while leaving space for stories, laughs, and audience participation. This is one of those talks that sparks compelling conversations and real-life behavior change long after your event is over.

Building a Culture That Doesn't Break People

Forward-moving organizations are thinking differently about health these days, and operating better as a result. I share the science-backed practices, policies, and perspectives that reliably improve capacity and competitive advantage — without contributing to a culture of breakdown. And I make a strong case for embracing Healthy Deviance as a leadership strategy.

The Ultimate Biohack: Ultradian Rhythm Breaks

In their quest for efficiency, most organizations are inadvertently sapping their people of energy and focus, killing creativity and morale, and driving up healthcare costs. I present one simple, practical intervention (backed by military research) that delivers much higher levels of sustainable performance, plus upgraded problem-solving and productivity. Best of all, you and your people will love it.

Plus custom talks and interactive experiences that integrate your organization’s priorities with the healthy-living, culture-shifting wisdom I know best.

My talks are right for …

Conferences, conventions, senior leadership teams, executive off-sites, retreats — anywhere your audience is ready for fresh ideas, real conversations, and actionable change.
