SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
Finding Your 1993:
The Power of One Experience
How one experience can redirect a life – and how you can create the next one.
Every life contains pivot points—an encounter, a classroom, a risk, or someone who sees more in us than we see in ourselves. Through stories spanning international exchange, social enterprise, public service, endurance competition, and a marathon in North Korea, Carlo shows how seemingly small experiences can create extraordinary changes in direction.
Audiences learn to:
– Recognize experiences with the power to change a trajectory
– Create possibility and belonging for others
– Challenge limiting assumptions through curiosity and direct experience
– Turn inspiration into meaningful action
Ideal for education, leadership, nonprofit, civic, association, and workforce-development audiences.
Available formats: 30- to 60-minute keynote · 90-minute interactive session · Half-day workshop
ADDITIONAL KEYNOTE OPTIONS
Carlo can also tailor a program around one of these themes to fit your audience and event.
THE POWER OF SECOND CHANCES
Carlo shares the journey behind his kitchen-table idea that became an award-winning social enterprise. What worked, what failed, and why dignity must be designed into workforce programs from the beginning.
Ideal for nonprofits, foundations, workforce organizations, social entrepreneurs, chambers of commerce, and community leaders.
EMBRACE THE IMPOSSIBLE
What do extraordinary challenges (way outside of our comfort zones) teach us about preparation, uncertainty, and growth? Drawing on lessons from deliberately choosing unfamiliar environments, including running a marathon in North Korea and visiting extremely remote villages in Papua New Guinea, Carlo explores what happens when preparation meets uncertainty.
Ideal for leadership meetings, sales teams, student groups, retreats, and organizations navigating change.
CONNECTION ACROSS DIFFERENCES
Drawing on years of global leadership, including unforgettable experiences in Japan Mexico, and Eswatini, Carlo demonstrates how curiosity, hospitality, and person-to-person relationships can interrupt stereotypes and create room for cooperation.
Ideal for international organizations, universities, civic groups, government audiences, student groups, and teams working across cultures.
