Speaking
Bringing the work to your audience.
Dr. Stephen Thompson speaks at conferences, professional gatherings, institutional cohorts, and educational settings. The talks are clinical where the audience is clinical, philosophical where the audience is philosophical, and practical where the work has to land in someone's Monday morning.
Topics
Each topic comes as a 45-minute keynote, a 90-minute workshop, or a multi-session cohort engagement.
Human Enterprise Theory: Your Life Is the Most Important Enterprise You Will Ever Run
General audiences · Conferences · Universities
The framework that treats every person as an enterprise with a mission, a board, departments, and capital being stewarded across years. The diagnosis (extraction) and the destination (governance) in one talk.
Body-First Medicine: What the Fascia Knows the Chart Doesn't
Clinical · Bodywork · Integrative medicine
Fifteen years of clinical work with patients whose bodies remembered what their charts never recorded. The clinical case for P/AIRS bodywork and somatic-first practice.
The Algorithmic Plantation: Civic Agency in the Age of Extraction
Civic · Political · Educational · HBCU
The South as proving ground for algorithmic extraction at scale. How belief, vote, and self-image get shaped, and the media literacy that protects against it. Draws from The South Never Lost.
Emerging Adult Governance: Before They Build Anything, They Need a Mission
High schools · Colleges · Fraternities/sororities · Youth orgs
The case for teaching governance of self before any of the bigger goals. The Founded Emerging framework, the six capitals, the architecture for the first decade of adult decisions.
Survivor Genius: Treating Adaptation as Brilliance, Not Damage
Mental health · Trauma-informed · Recovery
The clinical orientation that grounds the entire Founded Project: survival is genius. The work is to give that genius somewhere to go. Drawn from Journey from the Edge and the clinical practice underneath it.
