Presence keynote takeaways
Your best ideas aren’t found in brainstorms
They arise in stillness and are shared in brainstorms. Innovation increases when teams have space to think clearly.
Presence gives you a competitive edge.
Every client, vendor, and colleague wants to feel seen, heard, and valued—and will reciprocate accordingly.
Your real mission statement is not on paper
Most “culture” issues stem from how leaders show up—not what’s written on the mission statement.
The Kryptonite to Presence
Stress is like kryptonite to presence. Learn how to manage stress effectively, and the quality of your presence will soar.
They desire meaning more than money
Your best hires don’t leave for more money—they leave for more meaning. Presence keeps top performers engaged, inspired, and loyal.
presence doesn’t cost you time
Our greatest asset isn’t time. It’s presence. The present we are with our time, the more valuable our time becomes.

MY PATH
I decided to stop drinking in my mid-20s. I did the math, and it just didn’t make sense anymore—too expensive, both monetarily and energetically. Years later, I was inspired to start a sober social event in Los Angeles called The Shine. We began with about 12 people, and it quickly grew to hundreds across LA, NYC, and London. That led to a profile in The New York Times, which caught the attention of a literary agent who asked if I wanted to write a book on meditation. That first book turned into five—and counting. Which is why I often say: giving up alcohol had a bigger impact on my professional life than anything else I’ve done.
