On-Stage Conversations
Conversations that resonate, inform and inspire.
In conversation with Greg Harden at the University of Michigan
Great conversations don’t just entertain—they reveal something new, challenge perspectives and leave a lasting impact.
Whether onstage or in intimate settings, I facilitate engaging discussions that bring out the best in my guests, offering audiences practical insights and powerful takeaways.
These discussions offer more than insight into a guest’s area of expertise, they uncover unexpected connections between disciplines and experiences, highlighting how lessons from one field can drive success in another.
Moderating a fireside chat, hosting a keynote conversation or leading an in-depth discussion — my goal is always the same: a meaningful dialogue that engages audiences, sparks fresh thinking and delivers real value.

Let’s make an on-stage conversation the highlight of your event!
Work with Me
Years of experience preparing Members of Congress and Fortune 500 CEOs for high-profile moments—from congressional hearings to editorial board meetings and keynote speeches—means I excel at helping the person in the spotlight shine.
Whether you’re looking to highlight a public figure’s story, dive deep into a critical topic or entertain and inspire an audience, I bring the expertise, preparation and presence to make it memorable.
Thorough Preparation with a Thoughtful Touch: I work closely with your team to craft insightful questions, align the discussion with your event’s intention and ensure the interviewee feels at ease—setting the stage for a dynamic and authentic dialogue.
Tailored to Your Audience: Every interview is customized to reflect your event’s themes, ensuring the conversation is relevant and impactful.
Dynamic Presence: I create a comfortable environment where the interviewee can shine and the audience feels like an active part of the conversation. No snooze-fests here!
Beyond the Surface: I’m skilled at asking the right questions to uncover powerful stories, insights and lessons that audiences will remember long after the event ends
I’ve had the privilege of sitting down with luminaries, innovators and outliers across multiple industries, creating conversations that go beyond surface-level Q&As.
For example, at the University of Michigan, I interviewed Greg Harden, the celebrated coach and author known for his work with athletes like Tom Brady, Michael Phelps and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard. At first glance, Greg’s expertise in elite athletics may not seem directly relevant to an audience of public policy students.
As we explored Greg’s philosophy of "controlling the controllables," it was evident that the principles guiding top athletes—self-reflection, embracing pressure and aligning behavior with beliefs—are equally applicable to policy professionals.
The conversation left the audience with tangible strategies they could immediately apply, demonstrating how wisdom from one arena can drive success in another.
