Speaking & Workshops
I speak internationally on communication, pitching, and how ideas become language that actually connects: sessions built around the same tools in How to Pitch (Almost) Anything, with humor and real examples in every one.
"It was never about the work. It was never even about the value. It was about being understood."
Some keynote topics: Everything Is Pitching, How to Pitch Across Borders, Clarity Is an Act of Generosity.

Two sessions at IMEX Frankfurt 2026, both built around tools from How to Pitch (Almost) Anything. One on why you end up describing yourself like a venue brochure when someone asks what you do (and how to fix it in three tools, zero jargon). One on why your best event idea keeps getting killed in the budget conversation — spoiler: it was never the idea.
