The Speaker
on Focus, Flow States
& Healthy High-Performance
After being an executive at 3 film studios, raising $21MM of venture and running 3 start-ups, some lessons on high-performance are clear.
Now I share tips & techniques to help leaders and teams perform at their best.

I bring a unique perspective from film + tech

From writers writing at home to actors & directors collaborating on set, film & TV encompass the full spectrum of remote, hybrid and in-person work. As a studio executive and producer on films from Die Hard to The Wolverine, I learned how to inspire a broad range of teams.
When I moved into tech I discovered a whole new set of focus challenges, which led me to study the great minds of productivity - Csikszentmihalyi, Newport, Clear, etc. - to find solutions.
What I offer audiences are the tips & techniques that I've seen work over the years, and a bunch of fun anecdotes from that journey.
Here are some of my most popular topics:

Healthy Productivity
Work-Life Balance is more than just how many hours you work.
It encompasses meditating, stretching, breathing, hydrating and even just focusing your eyes in the distance at regular intervals.
