Whether your audience is made up of newly promoted managers or seasoned senior leaders, this keynote meets them where they are — and gives them tools they can use the very next day.

A great keynote ignites change. Coaching makes it stick.
Most leaders don’t fail because they lack ambition — they fail because nobody taught them how to lead people with presence, clarity, and connection.
Through personalized leadership coaching, I help executives, managers, and teams embed the MAGIC Framework into daily habits — so they can build trust, guide focus, and inspire belief where it matters most: in the real work.

✔️ Senior leaders who want to transform how they communicate and connect
✔️ New managers promoted for technical skills, but not yet people skills
✔️ Entrepreneurs building teams who trust, follow, and stay
✔️ HR and L&D directors ready to level up promising talent

The MAGIC Leadership Reset is a focused, 6-week leadership intervention that helps leaders communicate clearly under pressure, address issues early, and reduce escalation.
It is designed for real workplace situations—not classroom theory.
It addresses the leadership moments that most often create friction:
- communication breakdowns under pressure
- avoided or mishandled conflict
- unclear expectations
- disengagement and repeated issues
These are the moments that quietly increase risk and HR workload.
It’s neither in the traditional sense.
This work focuses on observable leadership behaviors in real situations.
It complements existing training by addressing what tends to break down despite training.
Participants attend:
- one 60-minute session per week for 6 weeks
There is no heavy homework. Tools are applied directly in day-to-day leadership work.
No.
The intent is to reduce cognitive and emotional load, not add to it.
Most leaders report that the tools save time by:
- preventing escalation,
- shortening difficult conversations,
- and reducing rework.
Success is assessed through:
- pre- and post-pilot self-assessment,
- observed reduction in recurring issues or escalation,
- qualitative HR feedback,
- and leader confidence in handling difficult conversations.
This provides enough insight to make a clear stop / scale decision.
No.
This is not an evaluation of individual leaders and is not connected to performance reviews, disciplinary action, or compliance processes.
It is framed as skill-building and risk reduction.
The pilot is designed to reduce risk, not introduce it.
It focuses on:
- early clarification,
- respectful communication,
- and timely repair of issues.
It does not involve investigation, diagnosis, or sensitive employee data.
A pilot allows the organization to:
- validate impact before scaling,
- minimize disruption,
- build internal confidence and buy-in,
- and make data-informed decisions.
This is the most conservative and disciplined approach.
After the pilot:
- results are reviewed,
- observations are summarized,
- and leadership decides whether to scale, adapt, or stop.
There is no obligation to continue beyond the pilot.
The MAGIC Leadership framework is additive, not competitive.
It provides:
- shared language,
- practical tools,
- and consistency in high-risk moments
that can reinforce existing leadership development efforts.
This work focuses on:
- real conversations, not classroom concepts,
- behavior under pressure, not personality style,
- repair, not avoidance,
- and clarity, not motivation.
It addresses the moments where leadership issues actually escalate.
The next step is to complete the MAGIC Leadership Audit.
It’s a short, online assessment that identifies where leadership communication may be creating unnecessary risk—and whether a pilot makes sense.
- confirm the pilot cohort,
- align on timing and delivery format,
- and finalize scope through standard procurement.
The pilot can typically begin within 30–45 days of approval.
If you’d like to talk through your situation or review audit results, you can schedule a short, no-pressure conversation.
