INVITE ME TO SPEAK
The Keynote™
I spent a decade inside diplomatic sessions, state visits, trade negotiations, and boardrooms. My keynotes turn that first-hand experience into something practical: a system for navigating British-LatAm professional culture with confidence.

Slots v. Loops™: How the Room Really Decides
My signature keynote unpacks how British and Latin American professionals signal trust and make decisions. It gives your audience the Slots v. Loops™ systems to use in their very next meeting.
What your audience walks away with:
- A working read of how trust actually gets signalled across the UK-LatAm divide, not the textbook version.
- The Slots v. Loops™ vocabulary for naming what just went wrong in a meeting, in the moment, not after.
- Practical moves for their next meeting or negotiation, not just a framework to admire.
Available in English and Spanish. In-person, online, or pre-recorded. A bulk book order for your audience comes with a reduced speaking fee.
