Speaking · Keynotes, Workshops & Firesides
The auditor
who audits the mind.
A CPA and former Tax Director of 28 years, speaking to the rooms she came from — finance, tax, audit, and the analytical leaders inside them. Same language. Very different conversation.
The premise
Your people aren’t short on intelligence. They’re short on quiet.
Analytical professions train a very specific mind: bill the hour, match the precedent, be sure. It produces brilliant technicians — and a workforce quietly exhausted by overthinking, second-guessing, and the search for certainty.
AI is now disrupting exactly the work that training was built for. What it can’t replace is the part that got repressed along the way: curiosity, judgment, and a mind clear enough to use them.
“I don’t know yet” was never billable — but “I’m sure” was.
Signature talks
Three talks, one idea: a quiet mind is a business asset.
Keynote · 45–60 min
The Quiet Mind Premium
Why overthinking is a P&L item, not a personality trait — and what changes in decision speed, risk judgment, and retention when the noise drops.
Best for: leadership offsites, partner retreats, annual conferences
Workshop · 90 min – half day
Audit Your Own Mind
The 3Ss + Flip Framework, applied live. Participants trace one real pattern — perfectionism, avoidance, the need to be sure — back to its source and leave with a way to work with it.
Best for: busy-season resets, manager cohorts, CPE-style sessions
Fireside · 30–45 min
Curiosity in the Age of AI
The forces that made curiosity a liability in professional services are the ones AI is dismantling. A candid conversation about what the analytical career becomes next.
Best for: panels, member events, podcast and stage interviews
The rooms
I have sat in every seat in the room.
Big Four firms. Public-company tax departments. Twenty-eight years of deadlines, reviews, and files that had to close. Then two and a half years of daily stillness at an ashram in India — and seven years and nearly CDN$200,000 of study in quantum principles, hypnosis, consciousness, and neuroscience. Still a student, still discovering.
Audiences don’t get a wellness talk delivered at professionals. They get one of their own, telling them what the training cost — and what’s on the other side of it.

What rooms leave with
Not inspiration. Recognition.
A name for the restlessness they’ve carried since their first busy season — and where it actually came from.
One pattern audited live in the room, traced from trigger to belief to behaviour.
A business case for quiet they can take to a managing partner without flinching.
Permission to be curious again — the one capability AI can’t hire away.
A quiet mind isn’t a luxury. It’s a profit multiplier.
