I’d love to collaborate
with you.

I’m always open to new conversations and ways to collaborate with people. Whether you’re just interested in talking about the future of work or you want to book me to talk with your team, I’m here to unpack any of it.

Talks with your team

Keynote

I Hate Love Working Here

An approachable talk for managers and the teams they lead. Nobody in the room was ever taught how to work with other people — not in school, not in onboarding, not from the last boss. We’ll name what that’s actually costing them, and leave with something they can change on Monday.

These talks can also include interactive components, so they’re not just inspirational, but actionable.

60–90 minIn person or virtual
What your team learns

Let’s talk.

Robert BerrisAtlanta, GA

I’m still a working product executive building what’s next. Twenty years of it — 0-to-1 products, an $11M innovation consultancy, a company of 75 engineers, marketers and innovators. Every framework and method in the book came out of working with the best people of my career, and I learned to actually listen from time spent in improv, sketch and podcast comedy, not from a management book.

They were pressure-tested inside Fortune 500 companies, scale-ups, and startups, so what your team hears on stage is what I’m still using on Monday.

Before I wrote any of this down, I asked more than a hundred product and innovation leaders one question: has anyone ever trained you how to collaborate? Nobody said yes. That’s the talk.
