Speaker Reel

Why Sallie

Not a Futurist.
Not a Tech Bro.
A Business Owner Who Gets It.

Sallie doesn't talk about AI from a lab. She talks about it from inside the businesses she's helped transform — as an attorney, a six-time CEO, and the founder of a strategic consulting firm that has identified over $1M in profit improvements for clients.

Her audience walks out with clarity, not confusion. Specific next steps, not vague inspiration. And the confidence to actually do something with AI on Monday morning.

Signature Talks

Every talk is built for founders. None of it is theory.

Sallie speaks from 21 years of doing the work — as a CEO, attorney, and the person inside the room when the numbers don't lie. No stage presence without substance.

Transformation

The 80/20 Rule of AI: Technology Is Only 20% of the Equation

Technology delivers about 20% of an AI initiative's value. The other 80% comes from redesigning how work actually gets done.

  • Why companies that can't see their own data aren't ready for AI
  • The three workflow redesigns that unlock the biggest ROI
  • What separates businesses that get an AI return from those who just got a subscription
Future of Work

AI Agents Are Coming for Your To-Do List (And That's a Good Thing)

By end of 2026, 40% of enterprise apps will integrate AI agents. Sallie breaks down what that means without jargon.

  • What AI agents actually are — and what they aren't
  • Which business functions are transforming first
  • How to prepare for "AI as a teammate that executes"
Practical AI

From Spreadsheets to Strategy: AI for the Business That's Already Working

For the business owner who's successful but buried — showing how AI reclaims 5–10 hours per week starting now.

  • The Audit → Analyze → Amplify framework
  • Real examples from product, service, and retail businesses
  • What to automate first (and what never to automate)
Mindset

AI Won't Replace You — But a Business Using AI Will

The adoption talk for skeptical audiences. Addresses fear, reframes risk, and gives a clear-eyed view of what's actually changing.

  • Why the "AI will take my job" narrative is both wrong and right
  • The three roles every business needs in an AI-enabled future
  • A 30-day experiment anyone can run to see the difference
Profit Strategy

Finding the $150K Hiding in Your Business

Sallie's signature business talk — using real case studies to show where profit hides in aggregate reporting, channel confusion, and owner dependency.

  • The "four businesses" problem most founders don't know they have
  • How one client found $777K hiding in a single channel
  • The 12 Value Levers framework for strategic clarity
Women in Business

Sell Like You Mean It: Confidence, Pricing, and the Revenue You Deserve

Based on Sallie's e-book — for women who are working harder than ever but profit doesn't match the effort. Mindset meets strategy.

  • The 56-cent statistic and why women undercharge
  • The Niche Formula + 30-Second Commercial
  • Why your best new customer is your current customer
