Dr. Eugene Manley Jr. is a scientist, author, speaker, nonprofit founder, and health equity leader whose work examines what happens when capable people are consistently misread by the systems around them. Drawing from more than two decades across engineering, cancer research, nonprofit leadership, patient advocacy, and STEMM workforce development, Eugene speaks about the cost and consequences of being misread at work, in healthcare, in education, and inside institutions that often confuse difference with deficiency. His new book, Too Much and Not Enough: Neurodivergence, Race, and Broken Systems, explores how race, neurodivergence, class, illness, and institutional expectations shape how people are perceived and treated. His MISREAD Framework™ gives individuals and organizations practical language for recognizing and responding to those patterns. Eugene began his career in mechanical and biomedical engineering before earning a PhD in molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry and conducting research in lung and breast cancer. He later moved into scientific program leadership, patient advocacy, cancer health equity, and workforce development. He is Founder and CEO of the SCHEQ Foundation, where he leads programming focused on cancer disparities, health literacy, STEMM diversity, and community engagement. On stage, Eugene combines lived experience, science, humor, and systems thinking. He speaks on neurodivergence and leadership, race and workplace misreading, medical bias and trust, cancer and health equity, and STEMM career pathways. Audiences leave with practical frameworks and clearer language for recognizing misreading, making better decisions, and building systems that do a better job of seeing people clearly.

I work with founders, CEOs, and executive teams on market entry, execution, and recovery situations — primarily in Germany / DACH. My work focuses on ownership, decision architecture, and execution systems — not strategy decks or consulting models. I help leadership teams diagnose why execution breaks down early, stabilize failing initiatives, and rebuild operating momentum before results collapse.

Brandi Marzolino is the coach people call when the culture is cracking, the team is tired, and the truth has been politely avoided for way too long. A former executive turned leadership sage, she blends two decades of top to bottom business experience with the gritty wisdom of her own comeback story; over two decades in the 12-step recovery space, spiritually awake, and unapologetically real. Her talks cut straight to the bone. Brandi teaches people how to stop outsourcing their power, clean up the inner chaos that’s sabotaging their outer results, and finally lead with clarity, courage, and connection. She dismantles old-school authority models and replaces them with something far more potent: presence, emotional intelligence, radical responsibility, and the kind of communication that makes people actually want to follow you. Whether she’s speaking about burnout, boundaries, team dynamics, sobriety, or the redemption arc baked into every human life, Brandi’s message is equal parts lyrical, practical, and profoundly human. She brings humor, heart, and hard truth...the kind that wakes people up, not wears them down. Audiences walk away feeling seen, challenged, and inspired to rise. Leaders walk away equipped to create cultures that heal, perform, and thrive. If your organization is ready for a speaker who doesn’t do fluff, who can hold a room with soul and strategy, and who knows how to transform a story of struggle into a blueprint for leadership, Brandi is your woman.

Bishop Elias Lorenzo was born in Brooklyn in October 1960 and raised in Sunset Park, where he attended a local parish elementary school and later a preparatory seminary that introduced him to structured study and a steady prayer life. Growing up in this environment helped him understand how small daily choices shape long-term character. These early experiences encouraged him to value consistency, humility, and community support. Over time, these lessons created a foundation that guided him toward a life centered on service and thoughtful leadership. Bishop Elias pursued higher education at a Catholic college, where he earned a degree in philosophy before entering a Benedictine monastery to begin religious life. When he professed vows in the mid-1980s, he committed himself to communal living, prayer, and continual learning. He was later ordained a priest, taking on responsibilities that required patience and sincere attention to others' needs. Through these early stages of formation, he grew in awareness of how spiritual life deepens when one is willing to listen and serve with openness. Bishop Lorenzo began his ministry in education by teaching at a secondary school connected to his monastic community. He taught religion, organized retreats, and supported service programs that encouraged students to strengthen their understanding of faith and responsibility. He also worked closely with school administrators and the board of trustees as his duties expanded. Despite increasing responsibilities, he continued teaching because it allowed him to remain close to students' concerns. This experience shaped his belief that leadership is most effective when grounded in direct, personal engagement. Bishop Elias Lorenzo strengthened his ministry by pursuing advanced academic studies in several disciplines. He completed graduate work in liturgical theology, deepening his understanding of how worship shapes community life and supports spiritual growth. He later earned a graduate degree in counseling, gaining practical skills to help individuals navigate personal and emotional challenges. He eventually completed formal studies in canon law, allowing him to guide religious communities with clear, informed insight. These combined disciplines supported his ability to serve with steady judgment and a balanced perspective. Bishop Lorenzo held leadership roles in monastic communities in the United States and abroad. He first served as prior at his home abbey before assuming the same role at an international Benedictine community in Rome, where he worked with members from various cultures and backgrounds. He later took on responsibilities that required communication between monastic communities and the Vatican. These experiences broadened his understanding of the global Church and helped him appreciate the diverse needs and challenges faced by religious communities worldwide.
