TOPICS | THEMES

What connects the future of capitalism, personal transformation, and rainforest conservation?

A commitment to truth. A reverence for life. A belief that the most potent changes begin within and ripple outward.

As a speaker, I bring lived experience, global perspective, and grounded insight to every talk. Whether addressing corporate executives, students, social entrepreneurs, scientists, creatives, or policy professionals, my message is consistent:

We each hold the power to shape a more conscious, connected, and just world.

Below are the core themes I speak on—rooted in decades of work across disciplines, continents, and crises—woven through my writing, leadership, and life.

Featured Themes

Personal Transformation & Facing Mortality

How a terminal diagnosis became a teacher—and how facing death can awaken us to life. I explore vulnerability, resilience, mindfulness, and meaning-making in the face of uncertainty.

Environmental Ethics & Ecological Interdependence

What would it mean to live as though the Earth were sacred? Talks explore humanity’s connection to nature, biocentric values, and pathways to re-align with the living systems that sustain us.

The Future of Capitalism & Conscious Systems Change

Drawing from my work with governments, think tanks, and grassroots leaders, I discuss the evolution of capitalism—from extraction to regeneration—and how economic systems can serve people, the planet, and peace.

Empowerment & Agency in Disempowering Times

How do we reclaim our voice, our choice, and our impact? I offer personal and collective empowerment frameworks grounded in psychology, activism, and real-world action.

Spiritual Atheism & Living with Meaning

For those who don’t believe in God but believe in something more, this talk explores how science, awe, and interconnectedness can form the basis of a secular, embodied, and ethical spirituality.

Rainforest Conservation & Indigenous Partnership

Stories and solutions from my explorations across Latin America—highlighting agroforestry, sovereignty, and the power of indigenous knowledge to protect biodiversity and cultural heritage.

Climate Psychology & Brain Biases

Based on my BBC article “How Brain Biases Prevent Climate Action,” I unpack the cognitive science behind denial and inaction and explain how to move people from apathy to meaningful response.

The Role of Story in Healing & Systemic Change

Why storytelling is more than communication—it’s transformation. I speak to the power of narrative to heal trauma, shift culture, and reimagine what’s possible.

Custom Talks & Workshops

I regularly tailor talks to meet the goals of your group, institution, or event—whether keynotes, panel moderation, university seminars, corporate leadership retreats, or educational intensives.
