A former public-company CEO who teaches for a living. Lew makes the complicated simple, and he doesn’t leave the stage until the audience has something they can use.

From the CEO’s chair

Interactive Q&A and working sessions on the audience’s own challenges, not a canned script.

Tools to take home

Every talk leaves people with a framework they can use the next morning.

Growth

Unlock Hidden Performance

Most companies have more capacity than they use. Lew shows how to find the constraints holding a business back, and how the fix sits on top of whatever system the company already runs.

Takeaway: a way to spot and remove the constraint that matters most.

Focus

Interesting vs. Important

Busy teams fall behind when they chase what’s interesting. How leaders get the right people doing the right things at the right time.

Takeaway: a filter for priorities the whole team can use.

Metrics

The Leading Edge Formula

Lagging measures like revenue, OKRs and KPIs confirm results after the fact. Lew’s LEAD method finds the leading activities that predict them.

Takeaway: 3–5 leading indicators to run the business on.

Execution

Deciding Isn’t Doing

Five frogs sit on a log and four decide to jump. How many are left? Five. A talk on execution, accountability and the two things always under your control: attitude and effort.

Takeaway: a habit of turning decisions into action.

Management

The One Day MBA

The critical stuff they don’t teach in business school, for new and middle managers. A keynote or a 2.5-hour program with breakout exercises, with books for attendees.

Takeaway: practical management tools with immediate impact.

AI

AI for Operators

AI pays off when the workflows underneath it are right. What leaders need to understand, and how to build a practical AI roadmap for their company.

Takeaway: a clear first step on an AI roadmap.

Also available: The 7 C’s of Business: cash, customers, change, culture, clock, cooperation and communication, and how they connect.
