Are you hiring a leadership speaker?
You hear all the time about what audiences want when they come to your events. They want practical and actionable talks…engaging speakers…and they want to get something NEW.
Planning an amazing conference, meeting, or any other event takes the right mix of content and curation of speakers. It also takes considerable time and money.
Education, Engaging, and Entertaining
My role in your event is to take the best in what I know, research your industry, and combine it with first-hand conversations to create a powerful experience that is just for your audience. I will also turn it into something of value and make it fun. Look, I’m not a juggler or a magician, but I also know that attendees want to feel the experience that lasts for years. My job is to deliver value AND make you look good for hiring me.
All my speeches and workshops are customized to connect with your people and address the challenges of the organization. But there is a common theme. Whether you want a keynote for thousands of people, breakouts that get deep, or a half-day workshop for a team of leaders, you will get an experience designed for impact. It is a blend of research, engaging stories, and actionable strategies that will turn your most inspired ideas into real-world value.
Want to Preview Gene?
The best way to understand the value of Gene’s presentation is to attend a live event. If you wish to be invited as a guest to an upcoming presentation, please contact us.

What others are saying…
“Here’s the thing about Gene…he takes a topic that a lot of people find boring and mundane, and he manages to make it exciting and new. I have never seen a room full of business professionals hanging on a speaker’s every word. He is a truly gifted speaker in that not only are you paying attention to his entire presentation, but his ideas stick with you even after you get home so you can start the hard work…implementing new ideas. Gene is truly awesome. Every business leader needs to hear from this guy!”
