Keynote Speaking
Leadership and resilience in high-stakes environments
I speak on what it takes to lead effectively under sustained pressure — drawing on more than a decade coordinating humanitarian responses in Gaza, Syria, and Yemen, alongside a trauma-informed, embodied approach to leadership and team resilience.
My talks bridge real-world experience with practical, evidence-informed tools for staying grounded, making clear decisions, and building sustainable performance in high-pressure contexts.
