Inspirational Innovation Keynote Speaker
Creator of The Inner Adventure Mindset™

Hi, I’m Barry.

I’m an inspirational keynote speaker, innovation and strategy advisor, and pioneer dedicated to developing bold ideas and people. My new venture is The Inner Adventure Company, and The Inner Adventure Mindset.

My professional career of drawing outside of traditional lines—as a strategist and innovation leader in software, healthcare, sustainability, product design, and workforce resilience—provides a proven track record of navigating change.

My personal experiences—including adventures, surviving death (twice), and mastering the skills to channel my ADHD challenges as a high-value asset instead of a liability—give me a rare lens on thriving in uncertainty. I don’t talk about adaptability and resilience in the abstract; I have lived them.

I founded The Inner Adventure Company to integrate my professional and personal experience, and openhearted way of connecting, with the transformational opportunities available today. 

We help organizations and individuals expand human potential, capture the strategic opportunities hidden within disruption, and reframe the inner challenges of uncertainty as a call to adventure.
