The Good Fight

When no one has the answer, the only way forward is to do conflict better.

Real change runs on conflict, but most organizations are bad at it, so the conflict goes underground, turns political, or never happens. Good conflict is the opposite: alive, with traction, ending in decisions that stick. The future used to be predictable enough that you could end an argument by being right, but not anymore. Embracing the truly good fight about what to do next is today’s core leadership challenge.That’s a skill, and I can help you build it.

Lively.
Energizing.
Dynamic.
Engaging.

Jamie’s keynote presentation on culture management in the digital age was great, and our audience members loved it. The material truly resonated with our audience. In his very lively, energizing session, Jamie gave them clear tips — and most importantly, actionable suggestions — on how to implement these valuable strategies.”

The future used to be just unknown. Now it’s unknowable.

And “communicate and convince” change management was never built for that.

AI is the obvious case: deep, fast change to roles, data, and processes, and traditional change management can’t keep up. But the deeper issue is that the present keeps shrinking. The next wave hits before you’ve absorbed the last.

You can’t plan your way out of unknowable; you have to lead through it, hands-on, the way you’d manage culture change. I can help with that.

Culture is the Part You Can’t See. But You Need To.

Because it’s quietly deciding whether or not any of this works.

Your culture wasn’t designed for today’s reality, and its hidden patterns are why your AI won’t stick, your silos derail good projects, and your best people leave. You don’t need to transform the whole thing. You need to find and fix the specific patterns getting in your way. I can help with that.

He Made Us Think.

“Jamie exceeded all of our expectations. His lecture about Millennials and cross-generational cooperation was fabulous. On one hand he gave us advice, on the other he made us think. He’s not only an expert in his field but also a wonderful person and an absolute joy to work with.”

No Dad Jokes.

Hi. I’m Jamie.

I’ve been speaking and consulting for decades, and I love it. I have fun with it. I’m obviously very serious about culture and conflict and change, but research shows when we smile, play, and have fun during our very serious work, the solutions are just better. That’s why I intentionally infuse comedy into my keynotes. Everything’s better when we’re laughing.

Smile, play, and fun make us fully human. We need human-centric solutions as we make the inevitable leap from the old system to the new one that’s emerging.

I can help with that.
