Keynote Addresses
A 45- to 60-minute keynote built for your audience and your theme, with stories from three decades of teaching leaders — and one clear idea people repeat in the hallway afterward. Interactive by design; nobody sits through slides.
Speaking
Talks that leave a room with something to do on Monday
John has taught, coached and spoken to leadership audiences since 1989. Every session is built around your people, your theme and the outcome you want them to walk out with.
Executive Leader Retreats
A half-day to two-day working retreat for a leadership team. John facilitates the hard conversations, frames the decisions on the table, and leaves the team with agreements they wrote themselves — not a binder they will never open.
Convention Speaking
Association and industry conventions, franchise conferences and annual meetings. John has spoken to audiences across the Dale Carnegie network of 180 franchises in 80 countries and tailors every session to the room he is in.
Signature topics
What John speaks about
Servant Leadership
Why unlocking the abilities of others outperforms directing them.
Breakthrough Thinking
How leaders and teams get unstuck by changing the question, not the effort.
The People Side of Business Strategy
The execution gap is a people gap. What closing it actually requires.
Succession Planning
Lessons from a three-year handoff that Dale Carnegie now teaches as a case study.
Planning an event or retreat?
Tell us the audience, the date and the outcome you want. John will tell you honestly whether he is the right speaker for it.
