Speaking

Stories that move a room.

From the steps of a campus march to the boardrooms of Fortune 500 companies — talks that connect history, leadership, and the work of building people. Keynotes, lectures, and programs for campuses, companies, and communities.

Signature Programs

Four talks. One throughline.

Anchor Program

Two Protests, One Line

From a 1983 campus march that made a holiday real — to the lines we're each asked to hold today. What it takes to stand for something across decades, and why the throughline of a life is drawn in public moments and private choices.

Leadership & Talent

From the Yard to the Boardroom

The case for paid early-career pipelines — how campuses and companies build the next generation together, and why the best talent strategy is an education strategy wearing a business suit.

The Memoir

The Longest Line of Ink

Why we write things down. A talk drawn from the forthcoming memoir — memory, resilience, and the discipline of leaving records that outlast the moment.

Operating Discipline

Capability, Not Dependency

Lessons from three decades of operating leadership: how the best engagements, programs, and teams are designed to transfer — so the value keeps compounding when the outside experts go home.
