Topics
LEADERSHIP COMPASS IN THE FAST-CHANGING WORLD
As AI gets smarter every day, discernment makes humans wiser. Drawing from 30 years leading global brands and now as an executive coach, Lance introduces the Me–We–World Compass™, a practical internal navigation system for leaders to think clearly and expansively, build trust among teams, and create meaningful impact. Without Me, we burn out. Without We, our teams fracture. Without World, our success feels empty. Ideal for: Global conferences, leadership summits, and strategy offsites.
BUILDING SUSTAINABLE HIGH-PERFORMANCE CULTURE
Trust is the most valuable leadership currency, yet only one in five employees trust their leaders (Gallup). Drawing from his experience co-founding Google’s award-winning global coaching program, Lance offers practical tools to help leaders create workplaces where people feel valued, enjoy challenges together, take smart risks, and drive sustainable growth. Strong leaders discern when to lead with compassion and when to lead with candour. Ideal for: HR summits, culture-transformation, or team-building offsite and workshops.
Alignment Beyond Achievement for a Meaningful Life
In business, ROI means Return on Investment. In life, it’s Ripples of Impact. Many high performers reach a point where work that once energized them no longer feels fulfilling or regenerative. Drawing from his own journey from career to calling, Lance helps leaders reconnect with what truly matters so their influence extends beyond metrics to meaning. Learn how leaders turn success into significance, and create legacy aligned with their values. Ideal for: Executive retreats, transition programs for high performers and senior leaders.
Program
Impact Speaker
Blending Disney’s storytelling craft with Google-honed insight, Lance shifts perspectives and sparks meaningful change. Every talk is customised to your strategic priorities. Whether addressing thousands at a global summit or a small group of senior leaders at a strategic offsite, Lance captivates audiences with his wit, humour, and vulnerability. Beyond inspiration, Lance provides leaders with practical tools they can apply immediately.
Workshop Facilitator
Lance’s signature workshops are anchored in the Me-We-World Compass™ — developing leaders, strengthening culture, and driving measurable results. Workshops are fully customised to your needs, ranging from focused half-day sessions to immersive multi-day offsites. He facilitates conversations that build trust, introduces frameworks that fuel collaboration and innovation, and integrates CliftonStrengths® and other tools for sustainable performance. Teams leave more connected, aligned with purpose, and committed to thriving both personally and professionally.
Executive Coach & Mentor
Lance works with senior leaders navigating pivotal transitions — stepping into new roles, scaling businesses, or redefining their careers. Coaching asks the questions that unlock new possibilities; mentoring shares wisdom from real-world wins and failures. With Lance, leaders receive both. With partnerships limited to just ten leaders per year, each client receives the focus, depth, and space required to expand their impact and create a legacy aligned with their values.
