“From Losing 25% of My Lungs to the World Championship Marathon: Lessons in Endurance Leadership”
I know what it means to endure. As an endurance athlete, I have run marathons around the world. Then this year, I lost 25% of my lung capacity to cancer surgery. I had to relearn what it means to keep going. I have been invited to the 2026 Age Group World Championship marathon. I'm on a journey to discover what it takes to get 100 percent out of 75 percent of my lungs.
That same spirit of resilience shapes my work as a speaker, coach, and workshop facilitator. I am the founder of Culture Shift Advisors and the creator of the Endurance Leadership framework. This field-tested, science-backed model equips leaders to stay calm, clarify purpose, adapt to change, connect deeply, and continue with courage.
I am also a Former Fortune 500 executive, a TEDx speaker, a best-selling author, and the host of Social Entrepreneur, a podcast ranked in the top 1 percent globally. My mission is simple: to help leaders endure, adapt, and make a lasting impact.
