Keynote & Motivational Speaking

Provocative Stories, Tailored for Your Stage

I’ve spent my life telling stories from the world’s most volatile and influential places, and now I bring those experiences to your event. Whether you are hosting a national convention, a corporate retreat, or a community gala, I provide a keynote experience that is as provocative as it is inspiring. I don’t believe in “canned” speeches; I pride myself on my ability to fine-tune my topics to the specific needs of your organization, ensuring the message aligns perfectly with your goals and resonates with your unique audience.

My career has been a tapestry of high-stakes moments and profound human connections, allowing me to speak on a diverse range of topics, including:

The Rise of Asia: First-hand insights from five years on the ground in China’s economic and political hubs.
The Chaotic State of Journalism: Navigating truth, trust, and the digital divide in a fractured media landscape.
The Thrill of War Zone Reporting: Lessons in courage, ethics, and survival from the front lines of global conflict.
Political Whiplash: A candid look at the high-pressure world of Canadian politics—and what it’s like to win and lose a seat in the same federal election.
Refining the Signal: Cutting through the noise of the public broadcasting debate to examine what the CBC is, what it isn’t, and what it could still become.
Labrador Lessons: Heartfelt reflections on what teaching Innu children teaches me about resilience, culture, and the true meaning of connection.
Education Reform: Why can’t we get this right?

From the intensity of a war zone to the unique classrooms of Labrador, I share the lessons I’ve learned to help your audience see the world—and their own potential—through a new lens.
