Speaking topics
Supercharge Your Business
Business owners and managers face multitudes of challenges daily. Sometimes the solutions are clouded by the emergence of other problems. These challenges are not unique. This program utilizes 30+ years of business building, coupled with the ideas explored in "Dive in" (Published in 2018) to develop the tools to supercharge your business.
Strategic And Change Leadership
Leading self, leading other and leading teams are the three fundamental cornerstones of developing great leaders. This program is an intensive look at organizational leadership development. The program focuses on a few key fundamental areas such as understanding one self before leading others and teams and understanding communication styles and behaviors.
Team Dynamics
Teams are the basic building block of successful organizations. Team dynamics is fundamentally about creating the elements of those blocks. Many leaders believe they could be losing control and need to simplify systems and processes. Additionally they want a strong culture with communications and ethics as core elements.

If Culture ate Strategy for Breakfast – What's for dinner
The presentation offers a comprehensive guide for businesses seeking to build a robust organizational culture. Grounded in global research and case studies, it focuses on the need for adaptability in the ever-changing work landscape. Emphasizing both financial and non-financial performance metrics, the talk serves as an invaluable roadmap for fostering resilience in teams and sustainable business growth in a challenging environment across many industries.
Creating Optimistic Change
Creating optimistic change looks at revolutionizing organizational perspectives and approaches to problem-solving. A common dichotomy exists where leaders brim with optimism and visions of possibility, while team members often find themselves entangled in the immediacy of issues and limitations. A transformative shift in mindset is suggested from a conventional focus on problems and limitations to an exploration of possibilities and optimistic futures. The goal is to transcend traditional complaint cycles and magnify opportunities, facilitating a culture that nurtures inspiration, addresses root causes, and cultivates a shared vision of optimism and progressive movement within organizations. This is achieved through a transformative process of small steps to big changes.

Attending Rael's keynote speaking at The Regional Scrum Gathering in Kathmanduin 2019 was truly an eye opener to me. I felt Rael immediately connected with all of us both personally and professionally. His ability to just go with the flow showed true professionalism.
