Keynotes and Public Speaking for Engineering Leaders
I speak at conferences, seminars, and workshops on leadership, management, and wellbeing at work — topics I research, teach, and live every day.
My talks draw on academic research and real-world practice to offer audiences something they can actually use: new ways of thinking about how organizations work, how leaders can do less harm and more good, and how work can become something people don’t dread.
If you’re organizing an event and think your audience would benefit, I’d love to hear from you.
Testimonials
In a time of COVID and virtual meetings, we reached out to Pat for a motivational and developmental speaking engagement for our American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) young professionals retreat. Pat brought personal stories as well as helpful guidance on goal setting. Our group was very engaged throughout the entire presentation with great discussion at the conclusion of setting goals within a professional society as well as personal goals. We highly recommend Pat Sweet to any group looking for a motivational topic as well as a topic that will leave you asking further questions about developing yourself as a professional.
It was great having you as a speaker.… You did an amazing job and the students just loved your talk.
On behalf of the American Society of Engineering Management, I would like to thank you for your great presentation today. The content you presented on how to be an effective engineering manager is valuable to both student and professional ASEM members.
