Chronic illness is already on your team.

Some of your people are chronically ill. Some can work, some can't. I help managers and HR see what they miss, and decide what to say and change.

First, who are you?

What I speak about

What gets missed when a system only counts what it can measure.

Thirty-three doctors each saw a fragment of me. None saw the shape. I tell that story from three seats: ambulance, patient, and the person who now works with AI. Then I show what a person in the room can hear that a machine can't.

For leaders, HR, wellbeing and DEI teams

Why Disabled and Chronically Ill People Might Be Our Best Employees

What managers miss, and what to say and change on Monday.

For healthcare, HR, people analytics and AI audiences

What AI Can't Hear

What your systems measure, what your people need, and what it costs when leaders miss the person.

For managers who lead people with chronic illness

Chronic Illness at Work: a workshop for managers

No slides. I start with one real story. Then you work in pairs and as a group on a real situation from your own team: what to say, what to ask, what to change. You leave with the words and one change for Monday.

From 2 hours to half a day. Group size: whatever you need.

For conferences, panels and summits on health, work and inclusion

Event moderation

In English, Hebrew or German. I host the day so the room stays awake.

Why I say it

My last ambulance shift, the call came in for me. I was 22. The doctors who met me at the door were friends. Twenty minutes later I was a patient.

Since then: 200+ keynotes, tens of thousands trained live and 25,000+ more online, and several ventures that make me a recovering startup founder. These days I write, and I speak.

I speak, run workshops and host events. I also write a weekly note.

One email a week. Leave whenever you like.
