About BurkeSpeaks

​

At BurkeSpeaks, our mission is simple: to empower young adults to overcome adversity, build discipline, and become the leaders they are meant to be. Through my journey and experiences, I’ve cultivated a passion for guiding others to push past their limits and unlock their true potential.

​

For over 30 years, I’ve worked in operational management, leading diverse teams to success and navigating the challenges that come with building strong, high-performing organizations. Along the way, I’ve faced personal and professional obstacles that required more than just technical expertise, they demanded mental toughness, focus, and unwavering discipline. These are qualities I’ve developed through my time as a martial artist, weightlifter, and as a bouncer in some of New York City's busiest clubs, where I learned to stay calm under pressure and think strategically in high-stakes situations.

 

Now, I share these hard-earned lessons through dynamic seminars, workshops, and speaking engagements. My programs focus on building resilience, enhancing emotional intelligence, and fostering leadership skills. I work with young adults to help them develop the mindset and habits necessary to excel in school, at work, and in every aspect of life.

 

Through these experiences, participants learn how to approach challenges with confidence, transform setbacks into stepping stones, and develop the discipline required to achieve their goals.

​

At BurkeSpeaks, my mission is to empower the next generation to face life’s challenges with confidence and emerge stronger, more focused, and ready to lead. Through discipline, resilience, and a growth mindset, I believe every young adult has the ability to become a leader and reach their highest potential.

Let’s build a future of leaders together.
