05 · Speaking / Sharing / Teaching

Most of what I want to do with the years I have left is give them away.

Founders, boards, congregations and classrooms. I bring Fifty plus years of positions, a pilot's habits, and a personal constitution I can be held to. I do not bring slides I have not lived.

Topics

Six talks I can give tomorrow.

01

The flight plan

Strategic planning as a pilot files it: destination, route, fuel, alternates. Team Kendell's proprietary system, taught in an afternoon.

02

The turnaround starts with the truth

The four-part protocol and the step zero nobody puts on a slide. For boards and founders who already know something is wrong.

03

Trust the instruments

What flying in cloud teaches about decisions under uncertainty — in a cockpit, a boardroom, or a marriage.

04

The four quadrants

Spirit, heart, mind, body. A one-page weekly instrument for a whole life, and why three is a stool and four is a foundation.

05

Faith at work, without the slogan

Sabbath as a board meeting, prayer as preflight, and what a constitution does that a mission statement cannot. For congregations and Christian business groups.

06

Investing alongside management

Forty-five years of positions, from a service franchise to mental health. For students and first-time founders who want the version without the polish.

Formats

From a keynote to a kitchen table.

I do not charge congregations or schools. For companies and conferences, we will agree something fair, and I will tell you up front if the room would be better served by someone else.

What helps

Tell me about the room.

  • Who is in it, and what they are wrestling with this year.
  • How long I have, and whether questions are welcome throughout.
  • Which of the six topics is closest — or the one you wish were on the list.
  • Date, place, and whether there is an airfield nearby.
