KEYNOTES

Disrupting ‘business as usual,’ the pandemic has impacted the mental health of millions across the world.

Rates of depression and anxiety have soared for young people. As workforce burnout and mental health challenges have increased, productivity and profit have taken a hit.

Drawing on decades of international experience, my keynotes provide practical and actionable tools to increase resilience and improve emotional wellbeing in a variety of settings. Every speech is tailored to the specific audience.

As a business owner, psychotherapist, educator and founder of MESPERO: Impact for Resilience, I share strategies for embracing positive change – both professionally and personally.

EVENTS

Leading large-scale events is a forte. This has included United Nations conferences, televised broadcasts, galas and cultural performances, plus a forum connected to the COP26 Climate Summit, among many others.

Flexibility and professionalism – not to forget humor – are keys to success.

With a solid background in cross-cultural communication and project management, I support organizers in all aspects of event development and implementation.

PANELS/SESSIONS

I have decades of experience in moderating conference sessions, chairing panels and leading discussion formats for events. This has included multiple UN symposiums, live-streamed university forums, and interactive digital experiences.

‘Chatham House Rule’ events are a specialty. I support participants in discussing sensitive topics (and in dealing with conflict, if it arises) with the utmost of confidentiality.

Easily adapting to the audience and venue, I make speakers the center of attention and help everything run smoothly.

BROADCASTS

The public-access television segments I produce in New York have won national awards.

For many years, I have also done production and voice-over work for promotional messages, diplomatic communications, educational material and other types of media.

Having hosted many live segments, I am at ease in front of the camera and experienced in working with film crews.

Consulting the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation on the Eurovision Song Contest was a highlight. The final broadcast reached an audience of 197 million viewers.
