Consulting & Speaking
Inspiring Resilience, Purpose, and Performance Across Cultures and Continents
As an Olympian, professional pacer, and performance coach, I’ve spent my life studying the intersection of mindset, movement, and motivation.
From athletes to executives, creatives to corporate teams, I help people rethink what’s possible — and build the consistency, resilience, and self-belief to make it happen.
Whether it’s through keynotes, workshops, or private consulting, I bring a calm, grounded presence rooted in decades of global experience.
Topics I Speak On
The Endurance Mindset
What marathon training can teach us about leadership, consistency, and long-term growth.
Progress Over Perfection
A fresh look at failure and how to use it as fuel for performance and perspective.
Train Like a Pro, Live Like a Human
Building high-performance habits that support - not sabotage - your life.
Coaching the Whole Person
What coaching thousands of runners taught me about motivation, trust, and sustainable progress.
Customized Talks + Retreats
I collaborate with teams and organizations to craft tailored experiences for leadership off-sites, wellness retreats, and community activations.
Fluent, Flexible, and Global
I’ve had the privilege of presenting to audiences across South America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and North America — often in their native language. In Japan and China, I’ve delivered talks with the support of live interpreters, ensuring the message lands clearly across cultures.
I speak Spanish, French, English, Italian, and Catalan, and I’ve worked with interpreters for talks in Japan and China. I’m comfortable speaking to small groups or large stadium audiences, and I adapt my message to resonate across cultures, industries, and experience levels.
