I’m Damon.

I explore how the stories we tell and the conversations we have shape company culture — and impact performance.

ABOUT ME

For over a decade, I’ve helped leaders and organizations transform the way they think about culture, performance, and the conversations that shape both. As a speaker, advisor, and host of the Culture First podcast, I bring a storyteller’s lens and a strategist’s mind to every stage and boardroom I enter. Whether I’m speaking to a room of executives or facilitating a company-wide workshop, my mission is the same: to spark the kind of conversations that lead to real, lasting change.
