Speaking
My Small Wins keynote blends practical advice with often hilarious stories from my business start-ups, adventure guiding, and endurance racing. I blend practical how-to’s and audience engagement with enough stories to make the lessons stick. As one client wrote, it was a “perfect balance of real world tips and fresh, inspirational perspectives.”
In 2025, I will be releasing my second book, Small Wins and I have 12 openings for keynote presentations. If you want to learn more about bringing Small Wins to your audience, please reach me here.
“You elevated the energy in the room!”
Small Wins
Why Little Steps are the Path to Big Rewards
KEYNOTE OR WORKSHOP
For over 20 years I presented on and wrote about productivity and being effective with the precious time we have. All good stuff, but the real problem is getting started.
The Small Wins framework is a proven approach to overcoming procrastination and creating progress toward any goal. This approach is about creating movement -even when the exact path is unclear - toward your goal. And it is about making progress, not perfection and building confidence instead of confirming past beliefs.
Audiences including health care, technology, associations, financial, and government have rated Small Wins as “best of” the event. “You brought tremendous reality,” one client wrote, “to our issues and how we can be more productive and still enjoy the work we do.”
“We really needed to hear this message.”
