Positioning Yourself Strategically in the First 90 Days [9/2/2026] (Recording)

As a high performer, you got promoted for being reliable, trustworthy, sharp, and getting things done. Once you're promoted to leadership, those same instincts can start working against you. “GTD” on its own is no longer enough. So what will it be for you at the next level? In this 30-minute session, I'll walk you through the 3-move framework I use with leaders in their first 90 days, so you're positioned to be seen as a leader, not just a reliable contributor. For leaders who are new to a role, mid-transition, or about to be. Bring your situation, we'll work it live.

Leading Teams in the Era of AI: Crucial Skills for 2026 and Beyond [7/21/2026] (Recording)

Teams and organizations, along with their managers, are working (or struggling) to 'adapt as they adopt' new AI-enabled processes and tools.

From Overlooked to Indispensable: The Visibility Strategy for High Performers [7/10/2026] (Recording)

You're doing the work. You're getting results. And somehow, the wrong people are getting the credit, the promotions, and the rooms you should be in. In this 45-minute session, we go beyond "speak up more" and into the real psychology of why high performers become invisible — and what actually moves the needle. Drawing on behavioral science, enterprise leadership experience, and hard-won patterns from the field, you'll walk away with a concrete visibility framework and the self-awareness to know exactly where your gap is. This isn't soft. This is strategy.

Decoding Tech Performance Reviews [9/17/2026] (Recording)

Performance reviews in tech can feel mysterious, especially when you work hard, deliver meaningful things, and still walk away unsure how your rating was decided. In this live session, I’ll break down what typically happens behind the scenes in performance reviews and calibration conversations. We’ll talk about what managers are actually looking for, why impact can be hard to communicate, and how to have better conversations with your manager before the next review cycle. You’ll leave with: - A clearer understanding of how reviews and calibration tend to work - The difference between activity, output, and impact - A better sense of what “performing at level” really means - Three practical questions to ask your manager - A framework for thinking about feedback, promotion, and your next move This is for software engineers and engineering managers who are preparing for a review, trying to make sense of a past review, or considering how to position themselves for more scope and growth. Bring your questions...I’ll leave time for live Q&A.

Summer Leadership Series: Clarity For Your Next Chapter [7/16/2026] (Recording)

How Great Leaders Make Decisions Without Perfect Information Have you ever felt stuck between multiple good options? Whether you're considering a promotion, changing careers, transitioning from the military, starting a business, or simply trying to figure out what's next, uncertainty can make even capable leaders feel overwhelmed. The challenge usually isn't a lack of information—it's the pressure to make the "right" decision. In this interactive 45-minute workshop, we'll explore why high performers often struggle with major life and career decisions and introduce practical tools to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence. This isn't a presentation about finding the perfect answer. It's a conversation about learning to trust yourself, align your decisions with your values, and take the next step with intention. What You'll Learn During this session, you'll: • Understand why capable leaders often feel stuck during periods of transition. • Learn a simple framework for making decisions when certainty isn't possible. • Explore the role values, identity, and energy play in creating clarity. • Work through a guided reflection exercise to identify your own "next waypoint." • Leave with practical questions and tools you can immediately apply to your career and life. Who Should Attend? This session is designed for: Mid-career and senior professionals. Anyone navigating transition. Executives and emerging leaders. Entrepreneurs and business owners. Anyone facing an important decision or a new chapter in life. No matter where you are in your journey, you'll leave with a greater perspective and a practical framework for navigating uncertainty with confidence. What You'll Walk Away With By the end of our time together, you'll have: ✅ A clearer understanding of what's driving your current decisions. ✅ A framework for moving from uncertainty to intentional action. ✅ Reflection tools you can continue using long after the session. ✅ Greater confidence in identifying and taking your next step. My hope isn't that you leave with your next ten years figured out. My hope is that you leave knowing your next waypoint. Because you don't have to see the entire horizon. You only have to trust yourself enough to steer toward the next waypoint.
