I help organizations keep the right people longer by valuing the worker as much as they value the work. As a keynote speaker, emcee, author, and consultant, I encourage everyone to share their outside-of-work passions because this is the very core of the organization’s culture.I have a varied background starting with graduating from one of the top undergraduate business programs (Go Irish!), working as a CPA for both a large public accounting firm and corporate -- all while exploring my passion for comedy. I accidentally got pretty good which allowed me to open for Louie Anderson, the band Train, have a comedy album on Sirius|XM and write two Emmy-nominated shows. Now I marry these two lives together assisting organizations to recognize the expertise their people have beyond college degrees and certifications.As a professional speaker who has been on stage over 2,000 times, I create an experience for audiences above and beyond delivering unique content that makes them think about their culture differently. I also consult with a select group of organizations to develop and implement small changes that make a big difference to their bottom line.My podcast, What's Your "And"? has over 300 episodes that shatter the stereotype of what it means to be a professional today and the importance of differentiation in obtaining goals.Specialties: Employee retention, employee engagement, employee experience, client retention and experience, keynote speaking, and eating ice cream while watching Notre Dame football.
