Speaking Engagements
Dom delivers keynote experiences centered on resilience, leadership, and the unseen influence we carry in the lives of others.
His talks are grounded in lived experience, executive leadership, and a deep respect for those who shape environments where others grow.
Pivotal Moments
A keynote on how ordinary interactions shape resilience in leadership and life.
Pivotal moments are rarely dramatic.
They are usually small.
Ordinary.
Easy to miss.
And the person creating them often has no idea.
In this keynote, Dom shares personal stories of instability, loss, and unexpected rescue to explore a powerful idea:
Resilience is not built through toughness alone.
It is built through moments of belief, affirmation, and relationship.
Through grounded storytelling and practical reflection, audiences are invited to reconsider the impact of everyday words, gestures, and presence — and to recognize that they may already be standing in someone’s pivotal moment.
Ideal for:
- Corporate and business leadership events
- Executive retreats
- Nonprofit and mission-driven organizations
- Faith-based gatherings
- Community conferences
Resilient Now — Educator Edition
A message created specifically for teachers, coaches, administrators, and education leaders.
Educators operate inside pivotal moments every day.
Often without knowing it.
This keynote honors the quiet weight of that responsibility.
Drawing from his own childhood experiences and the educators who altered the course of his life, Dom speaks directly to the impact teachers and school leaders have — not only on academic outcomes, but on identity, confidence, and long-term resilience.
This experience is both gratitude and challenge:
Gratitude for the seeds educators plant.
Challenge to recognize that small moments inside classrooms may echo for decades.
Ideal for:
- School district convocations
- Teacher in-service days
- Education leadership conferences
- Coaching communities
- Charter and independent school networks
