Speaking

Does your organization need to develop better alarm signals and decision making systems to make sure your people recognize and speak up when they see a gray rhino? Do you know what the gray rhino is in your organization or industry but can’t seem to get past muddling? Do you need help developing an action plan to get key stakeholders on board? Do you want to optimize your organization’s ability to take more smart risks and minimize the ill-considered ones?

Whether through a keynote address, breakout session, webinar, or executive education workshop, I can help your organization apply simple but effective tools to help manage highly obvious but under-recognized “gray rhino” challenges to companies, industries, people, and the planet. I can talk your audience through an overview of the gray rhino framework with examples relevant to your industry, or do a deep dive into one of the stages. I can help you develop a heathy risk culture by helping you to analyze your organization and team’s risk fingerprints and develop risk empathy.

I love customizing my presentation to meet your organization’s needs, whether focusing on your organizational, industry or civic gray rhinos or putting in context the global policy gray rhinos that will affect us all.

In addition to gray rhino and risk fingerprint theory, my favorite speaking topics involve macro strategy, global economics and finance, women’s leadership, and risk governance.
