SPEAKING & WORKSHOPS

Speaking & Workshops

Twenty years of standing in front of rooms that mattered.

I’ve spoken in front of hundreds of audiences, in rooms ranging from a dozen people to conference halls of hundreds. I’m not a motivational speaker theorizing about medicine from the outside, I’ve built the programs, sat on the committees, and lived the transitions I speak about.

I believe in teaching as I speak, not just presenting information, but leaving people with something genuinely new to think about, both about themselves and about the organization they’re part of.

FOR EVENT ORGANIZERS & INSTITUTIONS

  • A genuine range of tested material.

    From national keynotes to intimate classroom sessions, we’ve calibrated content for audiences from a dozen people to conference halls of hundreds.

  • Content grounded in real experience, not slides borrowed from somewhere else.

    Every topic we speak on is something we’ve actually lived, built, or led, not researched the week before.

  • Workshops that leave people with something to do, not just something to think about.

    Sessions are built around concrete takeaways, not just inspiration.

  • Comfortable with mixed audiences.

    Premed students, medical school faculty, physician leaders, healthcare executives, the general public, government officials, and the press have all been in rooms we’ve spoken to, we adjust our tone and delivery for the room, not the substance of what we’re saying.

  • A long-running media presence, not a one-off appearance.

    We hosted “Talking Admissions and Med Student Life,” a podcast with 160+ episodes.

  • Featured in state and regional press.

    Our work in admissions and medical education policy has been covered in state and regional news over the years.
