Speaker reel

Beyond Resilience

The Framework

Each one matters. Each one can become dangerous when it becomes the whole story. The balance is the work.

Duty

Duty is what keeps the world inside your front door working.

Without self, it becomes martyrdom.

Purpose

Purpose is what moves you to make the world outside it better.

Without duty, it becomes ego.

Self

Self is what you must protect so you can keep doing both.

Without duty or purpose, it becomes narcissism.

What the audience gets

  • Stories from a career spanning global boardrooms, government, profound personal disruption, and a legal fight that changed national policy.
  • A research-grounded challenge to the limits of self-care thinking.
  • A three-part framework audiences can remember and use.
  • Unexpected humor that earns the serious moments.
  • The rare experience of a speaker who has tested every idea in a life that required them to work.
