Four talks I'm currently booking. All built from the field, not the textbook. Tap any title to read the abstract.
How I designed the reporting rhythm at Community of Closers: a 3-line morning pulse, a 12-line weekly debrief, and the one-page monthly board doc. The talk includes the actual templates, the conversation script for getting the founder to read them, and the failure modes I've personally walked into.
Ethos, logos, pathos as operational tools — not philosophy. Live call autopsies, the four-quadrant objection grid, and the language patterns that hold under resistance. Built for rooms where the audience can smell a script from across the table.
What music direction taught me about running a sales team. What running a sales team taught me about leading a media project. The same five principles I apply in every room — and the one mistake I keep watching smart people make in their first leadership job.
How AE Performance Advisory got from a single closing engagement to four operating books of productized services. The exact taxonomy, the pricing structure, and the order I'd build them in if I were starting over. Includes the engagement templates I use to onboard new clients.
Frameworks, debriefs, dashboards, and the occasional uncomfortable truth. No motivational hype. No "5 ways to crush it." Just what I'm actually running, what I'm fixing, and what's compounding.
