Who This is For
Ari's leadership keynotes are built for moments that matter, from executive retreats where real decisions get made, to leadership development programs that need more concrete growth, from management conferences where your audience is tired of generic advice, to annual meetings that need to energize and align, to team offsites where the goal is genuine transformation.
Ari has delivered keynote speeches for Fortune 500 organizations including Dell, Lockheed Martin, Estée Lauder, and the NIH, bringing the same depth and preparation whether the audience is a dozen executives or thousands of attendees. His background spans years of hands-on experience across industries, wilderness adventures, and personal trials navigating high-pressure change. This means he connects with leaders at every level because he's lived the moments of despair and disruption, the moments of pressure and of breaking through instead of simply studying from a textbook.

FAQs as a Leadership Speaker
Every engagement is tailored to your specific event needs and goals. On the initial discovery call, Ari learns as much as possible to understand everything you are trying to accomplish with your event. Then in the pre-event meetings, Ari works hand-in-hand with your team to understand your goals, audience, and organizational context so the message lands. In most cases, Ari includes a few interviews with people in your group or on your team to get a multi-layered perspective of how to best serve your group.
Yes, in addition to the keynote address, Ari presents, breakout sessions, half-day workshops, and leadership coaching to extend the impact beyond the main stage. Additionally, some package options may come with perks like Ari's book for your audience, a helpful workbook, and other custom perks may be available as well. These are some of the small ways that Ari can help create value for your group.
Absolutely. Ari consistently works with your team ahead of time to understand what programs, themes, or language your organization already uses, then weaves his frameworks or break through moments into that context, so the keynote reinforces and elevates what you're already building, instead of competing with it. Ari's number one goal is to deliver the best experience for you and for your people, with a clear eye on your goals and what you are trying to accomplish with your group.
Leadership speakers who are telling over the same old leadership development techniques that have been repeated ad-infinitum are simply more of the same. Ari is very specifically NOT a leadership speaker; he is a break through speaker (a growth through challenge speaker) who talks about how that applies in the leadership sphere. His every story is lived, not borrowed.
No. Ari's message resonates with emerging leaders, middle management, and C-suite alike. The frameworks scale because pressure and growth through challenge doesn't care about your title. As each leader goes through their own moments of growth, there are always new vistas to conquer and new challenges to face, and Ari works with your leadership team to make that happen.
The sooner you book your speaker for leadership development, the better. Ultimately, if the date is available, Ari is happy to accommodate. Ari works with event planners who are still booking the speaker only a few weeks out, to meeting planners who are locking in the speaker 1-2 years out for future events. While this is all dependent on availability, if you are in need of an emergency last minute speaker, please reach out; if Ari can make it to your event, he's happy to help you find your last minute speaker near you.
That depends on if Ari is already booked on your event date or not. The best thing to do is to check Ari's availability, either by calling in or by filling out the form (link below). If the date is available, Ari can work with you for a quick turnaround to help you make sure you have a last minute speaker who is impactful and makes a difference at your event.

Leaders leave with actionable strategies, paradigm shifts, and frameworks they can apply immediately, instead of motivation that fades by Monday. Leadership teams report stronger decision-making under pressure, better communication during change, and renewed confidence in navigating uncertainty.
Most leadership training focuses on frameworks that are built in calm conditions and in a vacuum for perfect environments. Ari's approach is specifically informed by living through challenge and pressure. His programs are built for moments of great adversity and change, teaching leaders how to perform, decide, and inspire when things are uncertain, messy, or changing fast. It's leadership development forged in real adversity, not a classroom.
It depends on your goals, your crowd, and the flow of your event. A keynote creates shared language and energy, usually strongest at the beginning or the end of your event, to act as a cornerstone for the rest of the event. A workshop deepens the application and is often done in a smaller room with smaller group sizes, to allow for valuable discussion to take place. Many clients book both for maximum impact, as you can book a keynote to be the cornerstone of the event, and then offer a breakout or workshop later in the day to those for whom it is most applicable.
Yes. Ari helps leaders navigate AI transformation as a change and challenge issue, not just a technology issue. Let's face it, as the future of work becomes more and more uncertain, as artificial intelligence grows in leaps and bounds, each leader and each organization needs to figure out the best path forward to capitalize on the new post-AI world.
