Why Leading Better Starts with Thinking Differently

When I first started this work, I thought my job was to teach people how to lead better.

To share frameworks, tools, and tactics.

But two and a half years after delivering my first keynote, “Become a Ripple Effect Leader,” I see my work differently now.

It’s not about helping you lead better.
It’s about helping you think differently.

So that you can lead better.

I’m not offering a framework for leading.
I’m offering a filter for thinking.

🌊 Ripple Effect Thinking 🌊

Because underneath almost every organizational challenge is a human one.
And too often, we’ve forgotten how to truly see and hear each other as humans.

Which is why this call to Start a Ripple feels more urgent than ever.

To lead with intention.
To make the small moments matter.
To rebuild trust, restore connection and ensure everyone in your orbit feels safe, seen and heard.

Because those are the human truths that drive every measure of performance that matters.

I'm so proud of how the message has evolved.
Even more proud of how the experience I create in the room lets you feel it.

I hope this new iteration of my reel helps you feel it, too 🌊
