I focus on substance over small talk. My sessions are consistently praised for being “clear, on point, smart, and thoughtful.”
I move beyond theory to deliver practical frameworks that fundamentally “shift your thinking” about value and strategy. Your team will leave with essential clarity and approaches they can use to invest their time strategically.

A clear understanding of the five forces that cause value to stagnate.
The core beliefs that separate truly adaptive organizations from the rest.
A practical model for making continuous value evolution a team-wide practice.

Many leaders feel like they're navigating in a fog, armed with a map for a world that no longer exists. This reliance on a static map — on traditional, long-range planning — is a losing game, fueling anxiety when the landscape changes without warning.
In an era of rapid change, success belongs not to the best forecasters, but to the best navigators. In this session, you’ll discover how to shift your focus from prediction to readiness. I'll explore the essential components of an organizational 'compass' — a clear lens and adaptive principles that guide your team through uncertainty.
You will leave with a new perspective and practical framework for building unshakable confidence in your organization's ability to thrive, no matter what comes next.

my story
My work is driven by a deep respect for time, a conviction born from a first job spent guarding an empty pool, watching the clock tick life away. This led to a career in strategic roles where I discovered a frustrating truth: even the smartest teams with great strategies struggled to be strategic. They were trapped in a cycle of hyperactive drift, working hard but failing to gain real traction.
I founded Point:Value to change this reality and developed the frameworks I now share on stage. As the author of the WTP Substack and a sought-after expert on the value economy, I've delivered talks for curious teams at places like Babson and the Ascent Conference.
Each talk I give is designed to replace hyperactive drift with focus and give your team the tools to make the most of their time.
