Practical talks for owners, operators and clinical leaders.
For conferences, podcasts and panels. I talk about the things I've actually had to work through — building healthcare businesses, leading people, succession and partnership, AI in primary care, and staying calm when things get complicated.
Invite me to speak
Building better healthcare businesses
What actually makes a clinic run well: systems, recruitment, capacity and patient experience, from the operator’s seat.
Succession and partnership
Why succession is a strategy, not an exit, and how owners can plan the next chapter while they still love the work.
Calm leadership under pressure
What showcalling live events taught me about preparation, communication and staying calm when it matters.
AI beyond the consult: building the AI-enabled medical practice
AI scribes are only one part of the opportunity. What could AI make possible across clinic operations, care coordination, preventative health, patient communication and the management layer around clinicians? A practical look at where the next opportunities may be, from someone running clinics every day.
Topics I can tailor to your audience.
- Building a clinic that runs without you in every room
- Succession is a strategy, not an exit
- Calm under pressure: what live events teach leaders
- Slogans don’t pay for healthcare: the real economics of general practice
