I speak on the intersection of secular Buddhism, mindfulness, and modern life — for organizations, conferences, and community groups looking to explore how contemplative practice can inform leadership, communication, and everyday decision-making.

Topics

Secular Buddhism and Modern Life How Buddhist practice works without metaphysics — and why that actually makes it more accessible and more useful for a wider audience.

Mindfulness for Skeptics A no-nonsense introduction to mindfulness for people who find the wellness industry off-putting but are curious about the underlying practice.

Compassionate Leadership How contemplative practice informs the way we lead teams, navigate conflict, and communicate under pressure.

Practice Off the Cushion What mindfulness actually looks like in the real world — in parenting, in the workplace, and in political life.
