Your Data, Your Rules
How to Protect Your Data in a World That Won’t
Consumer  ·  HR  ·  Financial Services
Built from the theft of Ross’s own identity in 2013. Practical data protection for real audiences, without jargon or alarm bells.
  • Practical, immediately usable habits for personal and client data protection
  • Understanding of what data is publicly available and how to reduce exposure
  • Recognition of cyber risks unique to their profession or industry
  • A clear plan for what to do immediately after the session, not someday
“I learned more from Ross in 20 minutes than I’ve learned from many people in 3 hours. Clear, helpful and well-prepared. I’ve already taken action on your ideas.”
Racing Regulation
Mastering GRC in the Age of Unstoppable Innovation
Corporate Leadership  ·  Compliance Teams
AI is moving faster than most governance frameworks. Executives and risk teams leave with tools to build policy that adapts rather than blocks.
  • Rapid risk assessment techniques for emerging technologies including AI
  • Living policy frameworks that keep pace with change rather than lag behind it
  • Multi-jurisdiction compliance approaches for cross-border operations
  • The confidence to make governance decisions without waiting for the lawyers to catch up
“Ross’s presentation was insightful and brought simplicity to a subject often seen as complex. He provided practical examples practitioners can emulate.”
Key Risqué Indicators
Strength, Flexibility, and the Art of Control
Any Corporate or Association Audience
A one-of-a-kind live experience. Governance and risk leave the spreadsheet and take the stage, built move by move, in real time.
  • A new framework for thinking about risk as strength and flexibility in balance
  • Practical language for reframing calculated risk decisions to leadership
  • Recognition that powerful programs often start as unconventional ideas
  • An entirely different way to think about what acceptable risk actually means in practice
