Pubilc Speaking & Keynotes
Not a Talk. A Shared Experience.
I never step on stage to simply “deliver a presentation.” I step into a room full of humans — curious, tired, hopeful, skeptical, ambitious — & design an experience with them.
Every session blends storytelling, research, energizers & short hands-on exercises. People don’t just listen; they participate, reflect, move & talk to each other.
What happens in the room is as important as what’s said on stage.
“You rockstar you! The feedback for your talk was unreal — you left everyone blown away. So grateful, Fede!”

The Conversations I Help Open Often Revolve Around:
Presence & Attention in a Distracted World
Psychological Safety, Trust & Team Dynamics
Human-Centered Leadership
Growth Mindset & Lifelong Learning
Performance Without Burnout
Creativity & Innovation Through Humanness
Leading in Complexity & Uncertainty
The Quality of Listening, Conversation & Dialogue
Energy You Can Feel
I bring a high-energy, grounded presence to the stage — not hype, but aliveness.
There’s laughter, intensity, silence & moments where people feel seen. The energy shifts as the session unfolds, helping participants move from distraction to focus, from politeness to honesty, from comfort to curiosity.
My talks draw from the same foundation explored in Energizer Mastery — the role of energy, presence & psychological safety in human performance — adapted for large audiences & catalytic events.

Always a Mini-Workshop
Regardless of audience size, my public-speaking experiencs are designed as compressed workshops.
Participants engage in short exercises, guided reflections & dyadic conversations — even in large auditoriums.
This creates momentum, connection & a sense of shared ownership over the learning, rather than passive consumption.
Productive Disconfort
I intentionally design moments of mild, respectful discomfort.
Not to provoke for effect, but to help people notice patterns, assumptions & habits that usually stay invisible.
In these moments, something unlocks — perspective shifts, conversations deepen & new behaviors suddenly feel possible.
Designed for Any Scale
I work equally comfortably with small, intimate leadership groups & large conference audiences of thousands.
The format adapts to the room — but the intention stays the same: presence, participation & meaningful engagement.
No matter the size, people leave feeling they were part of something memorable & real.
Consistently Rated at the Top
Across conferences & internal events, participants consistently rate my sessions among the highest — particularly for engagement, relevance & impact.
I see this not as a scorecard, but as a signal that people felt involved, challenged & respected — & that the experience stayed with them after the applause faded.
Research, Brought to Life
My sessions are grounded in research from psychology, neuroscience, leadership & organizational behavior — but never delivered as abstract theory.
Research appears through stories, lived examples & simple practices people can feel in their bodies & conversations. The goal is not to impress, but to make insight immediately usable.
