Speaking Topics
Culture, Psychology, and Social Change
Organizations are navigating rapid cultural, technological, and social change. Drawing on decades of experience in psychology, research, higher education, and leadership, I help audiences understand how larger social forces shape individual behavior, workplace culture, mental health, and decision-making.
AI, Technology, and the Human Experience
Artificial intelligence is transforming how people work, learn, communicate, and seek support. My presentations explore the psychological and social implications of AI, including mental health, trust, loneliness, education, ethics, and the future of human connection.
Diversity, Inclusion, and Organizational Culture
I have spent much of my career examining health disparities, identity, equity, and the experiences of historically marginalized communities. I work with organizations seeking thoughtful, evidence-informed approaches to diversity, inclusion, belonging, and cultural responsiveness.
Creativity, Aging, and Lifelong Growth
Creativity does not diminish with age—it often expands. Through workshops and presentations, I explore how creativity, purpose, learning, and community engagement contribute to resilience, well-being, and meaningful living throughout adulthood and later life.
Psychology in the Age of AI
Helping organizations understand how trust, belonging, emotion, and human judgment are changing in an AI-mediated world.
