I help students explore their creativity and build trust in their own ideas.
I also speak to educators and leaders who want a meaningful reframe, fresh perspective, and practical encouragement they can use right away.

Through story, humor, and visual art, my talks help people step out of autopilot and back into what is true. Not hype. Not pressure. A good, meaningful reset.

Who I speak to

Schools and Students
Assemblies and author visits that help students engage, take creative risk, and trust their own thinking.

Educators
Keynotes and sessions that reinforce a culture of effort, imagination, and follow-through, with language teachers can keep using.

Communities and Organizations
Rotary clubs, nonprofits, teams, and leadership groups that want something human, encouraging, and practical.
