Plan4Change Llc Keynote Speaker from Reno, NV

I’m a keynote speaker, PhD social psychologist, and international best-selling author who helps organizations understand burnout, creativity, and human performance. Earlier in my career I spent 15 years as an entrepreneur, bringing two inventions to global markets. During that time I experienced severe burnout — an experience that led me to dedicate my work to understanding how stress affects thinking, decision-making, and innovation. Today my talks focus on practical strategies for restoring creative thinking and resilience under pressure. My approach, known as Spherical Thinking, helps audiences break out of stress-driven thinking patterns and regain clarity, balance, and motivation. I’ve spoken and delivered workshops for organizations including NASA, Virgin Group, Smithsonian Institution, and HP. My work has also been featured in Harvard Business Review. Event organizers describe my presentations as engaging, thought-provoking, and immediately useful. Audiences leave with practical tools for managing stress, improving decision-making, and unlocking creative thinking in their work and lives. If you're looking for a speaker who can combine science, storytelling, and practical insights (with more than a little humor!) to inspire your audience, I’d be delighted to contribute to your event.
