WORKSHOPS & SPEAKING
People are complicated.
Understanding them shouldn’t be.
Workshops, conversations, and keynotes that help people see what they may be missing — about themselves, each other, and what’s happening between them.
WHAT I TALK ABOUT
The conversations we keep having — and why they keep going nowhere.
Most problems between people aren’t as simple as who’s right, who’s wrong, or who needs to communicate better.
My workshops and talks look at the part we tend to miss: what each person is seeing, what they’re assuming, what they’ve learned to expect, and what may be happening underneath the conflict.
Then we figure out what changes when we look at it differently.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Bring me into the conversation.
Whether it’s a room of 12 or an auditorium of 500, the goal is the same: help people see something they weren’t seeing before — and give them something useful to do with it.
01 — WORKSHOPS
Get people thinking — and talking.
Interactive sessions that get people examining what’s happening between them, seeing what they may have missed, and talking about it differently.
02 — KEYNOTES & TALKS
Give them something to think about on the way home.
Engaging talks that challenge the obvious explanation and help people notice what they may not have considered.
03 — CUSTOM PROGRAMS
Your people. Your situation.
Have a team, organization, school, or community wrestling with something specific? We can build the conversation around what’s actually happening in the room.
FEATURED WORKSHOP + TALK
When You’re Too Close to See Clearly
Sometimes the hardest situations aren’t hard because we haven’t thought about them enough.
They’re hard because we’ve thought about them from the same angle so many times, we can’t see what else might be there.
This session looks at what happens when assumptions become facts, interpretations become certainty, and our own perspective quietly starts limiting what we can see.
Through real-world examples, humor, and conversation, I help people examine the stories they’ve built, notice what they may be missing, and consider what changes when they look again.
For organizations, teams, colleges, conferences, and community groups.
WHY TEDDI
Nearly 30 years of working with people — and a lot of rooms.
I’ve taught, facilitated workshops, delivered presentations, and worked with professionals, administrators, faculty, staff, and students.
I know the material. But more importantly, I know how to make it make sense to the people in the room.
CONVERSATIONS WORTH HAVING
The human stuff underneath the work
Here are some of the topics I speak and teach about:
Perspective & Assumptions
How the stories we build shape what we see, what we miss, and how we respond.
Communication & Conflict
Why people who are genuinely trying to communicate can still completely miss each other.
Change, Decisions & Getting Stuck
What happens when we've thought the hell out of something and still can't figure out what to do next.
Relationships & Human Behavior
Understanding the patterns, expectations, and interpretations that shape how people relate.
Strengths, Teams & Work
Using strengths and individual differences to help people understand themselves—and work better with each other.
Have something happening in your organization that isn't on this list? Let's talk about it.
