Speaking

Bring COS to your event.

Coalition audiences don't need another motivational talk. They need someone who's been in the room they're sitting in — and can name what's actually hard before pointing to what's possible.

What it is

A keynote or breakout, shaped to your room.

A founding COS Guide joins your event as a keynote, plenary, or breakout speaker. Every talk is built for the specific audience — coordinators, funders, campus teams, statewide networks — and grounded in the Coalition Operating System framework: the six components a coalition needs to operate at full capacity.

Who it's for
  • • Conference and summit organizers hosting coalition or prevention audiences
  • • State associations and public health networks
  • • Funders and community foundations convening grantees
  • • Campus coalitions, veteran-serving prevention teams, and cross-sector partnerships
What your audience walks away with
  • A shared language your audience keeps using in the hallways after the talk
  • A clear picture of the six components that let coalitions move as one
  • Three concrete moves attendees can put to work the following Monday
  • Fewer solo heroics, more shared ownership across your community
