I don't do fluffy keynotes about "reaching your potential." I deliver frameworks your attendees will implement before lunch—especially those whose brains work differently.
Give Your Audience More Than Inspiration. Give Them Monday Morning Solutions.
The difference? I've been in their chairs, building duct-taped operations at 11 PM Sunday. Now I manage operations for businesses doing millions. I bridge the gap between knowing and doing.

"The ADHD Tax: Why Traditional Productivity Punishes Different Brains"

Key Takeaway: The 3-layer diagnostic framework that reveals what's actually broken vs. what just looks broken
A breakthrough session on why 5.4 million adults with ADHD fail at traditional systems—and how to build inclusive operations that work for everyone, especially your most creative talent.
Key Takeaway: The Productive Friction framework that prevents problems instead of creating them
"From Knowing to Doing: The Operational Bridge Nobody Teaches"
