John Mabry

Silence is the most expensive thing in your organization.

A keynote for rooms full of people who are handling everything and telling no one.

Portrait of John Mabry

The keynote

Your highest performers are the least likely to ask for help. They have mastered every room they have ever walked into, and not one of them has let their results show what it is actually costing them. Most speakers leave a room feeling something. This one leaves them saying something.

What the room walks out with

  1. 01Ready to say the one thing they walked in carrying alone.
  2. 02Leaders who know how to have the conversation they have been avoiding.
  3. 03A clear picture of what honesty costs, from someone who paid the full price.

About John

An actor with credits on NCIS, ER, and Superbad, John had the highlight reel and a private life that did not match it. He rebuilt from the bottom, earned a master's in counseling, and now helps high performers close the gap between the life they show and the life they live.

The six pillars

Stillness

Stop long enough to see yourself clearly.

Honesty

Tear up the old script.

Humility

Quit playing the supporting character.

Vulnerability

Rewrite your comeback story.

Adventure

Live the new story before you feel ready.

Service

Share your story.
