Topics
Each can be tuned to your audience. Happy to build something specific if your theme calls for it.
Smart but Not Wise
A three-layer framework for the AI-native engineering leader — Product, Team, Leadership. The bicycle for the mind became a jetpack, and most organisations are still using it to fly in circles. Practical decision framework for turning engineering leaders into orchestrators who amplify human judgment rather than automate around it.
- 45 min · keynote or conference session
Building the A-Team
The interplay between emotions, personalities and high performance. How trust, respect and a nuanced read on human motivation shape technical teams that don't just deliver but thrive. From the Three Horsemen of Anger to the Impact Compiler — frameworks from real teams, not theory.
- 30–45 min · conference or internal all-hands
Running on Localhost
Why invisibility is the biggest career risk in tech, and how to move from invisible contributor to visible leader. A practical guide to building signal in a world full of noise — the same material I use in the speaking cohorts I run at Stripe.
- 30 min · conference, or half-day workshop
The Technological Renaissance
What happens when AI liberates human time — and why the future belongs to those who choose wisdom over mere intelligence. Grounded in real experiments rather than futurism.
