Vulnerable. Heart-driven. Still in it.

A speaker who's
still in the building.

Every story I tell on stage is one I'm still living. No case studies from ten years ago. No polished transformation arc. Just what's real, what's hard, and what's actually working. Told directly, with nothing held back.

Topics

What I speak about.

I turned a family business millions of dollars in debt into a thriving, profitable operation with no prior business experience, after losing both parents, driven by a purely intuitive call to leadership. My talks centre on vulnerability, resilience, and the kind of honest leadership that actually builds something lasting. I design each talk around your event theme, agenda, and what you want people to leave with.

Signature Keynote

Escaping Operator Mode

You become the best person in the room, and then you become the ceiling. This talk is about what it actually looks like to step back from a business you built around yourself. Drawn directly from eight years of running Nitschke Real Estate.

Keynote · 45–60 min

Leadership

Leading with Vulnerability and Heart

The leaders who wear their hearts on their sleeves will outlast the ones who don't. This talk is about what it actually means to lead through grief, adversity, and the moments that define the kind of leader you become.

Keynote · 30–60 min

Culture

Culture and Standards: What You Actually Build

Culture isn't what you say it is. It's what you tolerate on a bad day. This talk covers how I rebuilt culture at Nitschke Real Estate: what broke first, what we got wrong, and what actually changed it.

Keynote · 30–45 min

Team Building

Building Teams That Don't Need You

The goal of every good leader is to make themselves unnecessary. This talk is about what to hire for, how to delegate properly, and how to let go without the business falling apart.

Keynote or Workshop · 45 min – half day

Why it lands

One step ahead. Not ten years removed.

The difference between a speaker who is useful and one who isn't is whether they're working through the same things as the room. Most business speakers left the building years ago. They're selling what worked for them. In a different industry, a different market, a different time.

I'm still running Nitschke Real Estate. I'm still working through the problems I speak about. When I tell a story on stage, I'm telling it because it happened last quarter. Not because it happened in 2015 and it tested well in keynote format.

That's the only thing that makes a talk worth sitting through. Real problems, lived recently, told directly.
