See Craig in action
His TEDx Talk on bullying.
“Bullying is in the Eyes and Ears of the Beholder” — a talk that’s moved
rooms, changed minds, and started real conversations.
“Bullying is in the Eyes and Ears of the Beholder” explores how bullying isn’t just about isolated actions—it’s shaped by perception. Drawing on his experience as an educator and someone who has faced bullying, Craig examines both overt and subtle forms of harm and challenges audiences to see, listen, and understand the impact on individuals. His talk is a call to empathy, awareness, and action in schools, workplaces, and communities.
Meet Craig
Craig isn’t a speaker who studied leadership from the sidelines—he’s lived it. From mentoring educational leaders to working on the front lines with organizations like the Montana Project to End Childhood Hunger and the Department of Corrections, his work is grounded in real people, real pressure, and real consequences. He brings a rare mix of grit, humor, and honesty that cuts through noise and connects with audiences in a way that actually sticks.
When he’s not coaching leaders or speaking on stage, Craig can be found exploring Montana’s mountains, rivers, and wide-open spaces. He believes great ideas often come from stepping outside, thinking big, and connecting with the world around you.
