Signature Speaking Topics
1. We've Perfected Onboarding. We've Never Learned to Say Goodbye.
For: HR conferences, executive teams and people leaders
Organizations invest heavily in how people arrive and very little in how they leave. With retirements rising sharply, that gap is costing knowledge, culture and relationships.
Audiences will leave with:
A way to identify where critical knowledge sits with one person and which departures carry the most risk.
A simple approach to designing a 6 to 12 month transition, in place of an exit date.
Conversation starters that make it safe for employees to raise retirement early.
2. Beyond the Numbers: Designing a Life After Full-Time Work
For: professional associations, pre-retirement employee groups, pension and financial services events
Most retirement planning stops at the money. This talk covers five dimensions beyond money that shape a fulfilling next chapter.
Audiences will leave with:
An understanding of why identity and structure are often harder to replace than income.
A self-assessment across six dimensions, using the Life Design Purpose Wheel™.
One practical step to take before their last day of work.
3. Test Before You Leap: The Power of Small Experiments
For: leadership conferences, Lean and continuous improvement events, women's leadership events
Leaders test ideas at work all the time, then make major life decisions on a guess. This talk applies Lean thinking to personal change.
Audiences will leave with:
The IDEA Cycle™, a four-step way to test a direction before committing to it.
Examples of low-risk experiments for career and life decisions.
Permission to let go of good commitments that no longer fit this season.
4. Stewarding Your Next Chapter
For: Women's retreats, church and ministry events, faith-based conferences
Many of us were raised to see our time, health and gifts as something entrusted to us. This talk explores what it looks like to steward a season of change with intention, reflection and faith, so that drift doesn't quietly take what was meant to be cared for.
Audiences will leave with:
A stewardship lens for life transitions, shifting from "What do I want?" to "What has been entrusted to me, and how am I caring for it?"
Simple reflective practices for discerning next steps through prayer, conversation and small experiments
Three questions for noticing where obligation has crowded out what matters most
