Tufts University civic life panel on leadership and sustainability with Senator Ed Markey

Expert Climate Policy Speakers & Panelists

Castling Strategies brings clarity, thought leadership, and practical insight to live events, conferences, and panel discussions. With deep expertise in strategy, climate & energy policy, leadership, and civic engagement, we deliver keynote talks, participate in high-impact panels, or moderate discussions that engage audiences, spark ideas, and drive action.

Whether your event focuses on sustainability, public policy, business transformation, or civic innovation, our goal is to help your audience leave with clear takeaways, fresh perspectives, and an energizing call to action.

Why Invite Us to Speak?

  • Topical Depth + Strategic Vision
    Our talks are grounded in research and real-world experience, combining big-picture frameworks with actionable insights (for example, sustainable economic strategies, climate leadership, civic systems design).

  • Customizable for Your Audience
    Every engagement is tailored — whether it’s executives, policymakers, students, or nonprofits — we align content to meet the audience's needs, energy level, and preferred format (keynote, fireside chat, panel, workshop).

  • Interactive & Engaging Format
    We favor interactive elements (Q&A, breakout discussion, polling) to deepen audience engagement and ensure the session doesn’t feel like a lecture.

  • Credibility & Relevance
    With a track record of speaking at academic institutions, policy forums, climate summits, and public events, we bring credibility, polish, and relevance to your stage.

Topics We Speak On

Some of our core topics (always adapted per event) include:

  • Strategy for climate resilience & clean energy transitions

  • Leadership in uncertainty & systems change

  • Civic innovation, public policy, and community engagement

  • Organizational transformation & sustainable growth

  • Navigating complexity: frameworks, decision environments, tradeoffs

If your event has a special theme or niche topic, we’re happy to co-create a tailored talk.

What Formats Are Available?

  • Keynote Address — 30–60 min, high energy, big ideas + storytelling

  • Panel Participation — as an expert speaker on multi-speaker panels

  • Moderated Discussion / Q&A — facilitating dialogue among experts / stakeholders

  • Workshops / Breakouts — hands-on, small group engagement

  • Fireside Chat / Interview — conversational, audience-friendly format

We can also combine formats (e.g., keynote, panel, and Q&A) based on the event's needs and schedule.
