Book a field trip: keynotes and talks that spark imagination, shift perspectives, and invite action.

More than a talk — a dialogue.

Ready to take your audience on a field trip? Speaking isn’t just about delivering information — it’s about creating transformation. My field trips are interactive, story-driven, and rooted in my lived experiences as a queer, HIV+ man in recovery and as a leadership educator who left academia to found Creative Recess.

As a certified dialogue facilitator with the Constructive Dialogue Institute, I bring tools for navigating hard conversations. That means I don’t just “talk at” audiences — I invite them in. Whether it’s a keynote, a facilitated dialogue, or an interactive session, I combine story, dialogue, and arts-based practice to spark imagination, challenge assumptions, and inspire action.

The PQ and PLAY in Field Trips

Every keynote, dialogue, or interactive talk connects back to the Possibility Quotient (PQ):

• Curiosity — asking better questions, staying open.
• Clarity — naming values, boundaries, and purpose.
• Creativity — expressing ideas, solving problems, imagining alternatives.
• Community — belonging, accountability, and shared care.

Through PLAY (Practice, Learning, Arts, You), I create space for participants to not just listen, but to experience leadership as the creative, critical, and collective act of building a life of possibility.

Signature Topics

• Authenticity and Leadership — the paradox and privilege of leading with your full self.
• From Failure to Flourishing — what failure teaches us about resilience and growth.
• Curiosity Culture — building innovative teams through questions and imagination.
• The Possibility Quotient (PQ) — rethinking leadership as curiosity, clarity, creativity, and community.
• Dialogue in Action — certified practices for constructive conversations in divided times.

Audiences I Work With

• Educators and Students — classrooms, leadership programs, and co-curricular learning.
• Nonprofits and Community Organizations — movements, coalitions, and grassroots leaders.
• Corporate Teams — workplaces seeking innovation, inclusion, and courage in culture.
• Conferences and Gatherings — where people come to be inspired and equipped.

What You Can Expect

• Storytelling with substance — personal narratives tied to universal lessons.
• Dialogue-driven learning — certified facilitation practices to guide conversations.
• Arts-based methods — engaging tools that spark both head and heart.
• Practical takeaways — language, practices, and courage to lead with possibility.
