A Provocation for Deeper Thinking

“Clear. On point. Smart. Thoughtful. Delivering sessions that shift your thinking.”

Me speaking

Most speakers offer simple answers. They present formulas that look great on a slide but fall apart when faced with the complexity of the real world. They deliver a fleeting moment of inspiration without putting anything into practice.

My sessions are different. They are not a lecture but a live and interactive exploration. We challenge assumptions, examine the context, and explore frameworks to think more strategically.

For more than a decade, I’ve brought this approach to curious teams and communities, including those at Babson College, the Ascent Conference, and on the On Brand podcast. In a WTP session, your audience will:

  • Move beyond "what" to understand the "why," exploring the context and dimensions of both strategy and value.

  • Explore how to discern what’s valuable and ignore what isn’t.

  • Leave with strategic questions, not just easy answers, so they can continue the work long after the session is over.
