Charles-Louis de Maere

Charles-Louis de Maere

Bringing people together is something that lives on through my workshops and training. Whether they take place online or on-premise, I facilitate workshops and learning experiences that focus on high participation, on learning by doing and verifying that the concepts are integrated. I use Live Online Learning Activities to ensure people get a chance to practice their understanding of the new concepts.

What better way is there to give meaning to what we say than to draw to make our thoughts explicit? When we add visual information to what we’re saying, suddenly our intention becomes much more precise, and we can begin to work on shared understanding. This is why I love bringing people in contact with the power of Visual Thinking, of getting back to our roots and using pen and paper to bring people closer together.

Stories are another option for bringing sensitive topics to the surface, which I recently started to explore through my self-development practice, as well as during numerous Around the world in (less than) 80 days workshops throughout the past years!

Mark Porter

Mark Porter

Dr. Mark Porter is the founder of Soteria Alliance and the architect of its governing doctrine, Performance Mastery Culture (PMC). His work is grounded in sustained exposure to organizations where excellence was expected to hold under pressure, endure leadership change, and remain reliable over time. His Best-selling book: The Architecture of Excellence: Engineering Excellence that Endures Under Pressure outlines the foundations of Performance Mastery Culture (PMC):
• Systems thinking: identify why current efforts fail at the root level
• Behavioral science: understand how people think and respond under pressure
• Structure: clarify roles, accountability, and decision ownership
• Anti-Drift doctrine: recognize the inevitability of performance decay
• Architecture: governing laws that organize structure into coherent performance
• Design: embed architecture into daily behaviors that sustain excellence

Across more than two decades, Mark has operated inside large, complex organizations with direct responsibility for the enterprise conditions under which excellence either persisted or decayed. His experience spans executive leadership, system-wide organizational responsibility, and post-acquisition integration in environments defined by regulatory scrutiny, operational interdependence, and real consequence.

Repeated exposure to these conditions revealed a consistent failure pattern. Capable leaders intervened more frequently, carried increasing load, and applied greater effort as excellence became less reliable. Intent, experience, and commitment were present. What failed was the architecture’s ability to preserve excellence once conditions changed.

Performance Mastery Culture emerged as the architectural response to that reality. It exists to govern excellence as a permanent institutional condition, independent of individual leaders, episodic initiatives, or cultural reinforcement.

Mark holds a Doctor of Business Administration in Leadership and a Master of Science in Organizational Psychology. His academic grounding informs his work, but it is the sustained responsibility of operating inside consequence-bearing systems that ultimately shaped the architecture now embedded within Soteria Alliance.

His work spans North America and Europe and is confined to environments where authority, accountability, and institutional continuity cannot be delegated or diluted.

Samantha Goldberg, MSW

Samantha Goldberg, MSW

What happens when a clinically trained social worker builds a multi-seven-figure business from the ground up, and then watches her entire team walk out the door? If you're Samantha Goldberg, you don't retreat. You rebuild. And then you take everything you learned about shame, failure, and what real leadership actually requires, and you bring it to every stage you can find.

Samantha Goldberg, MSW, is a clinically trained social worker, entrepreneur, executive coach, and keynote speaker who works at the intersection of shame resilience, leadership, and self-worth. Named a Woman of Steel by PNC Bank and the Pittsburgh Steelers, she's on a mission to help people show up boldly and lead intentionally--without shame, imposter syndrome, or fear of failure calling the shots.

Samantha is the Founder & CEO of a group mental health therapy practice and multidisciplinary wellness hub in Pittsburgh established in 2018, built around a staffing model centered on business mentorship and entrepreneurial support. She built her practice into a large multimillion dollar operation, navigated a significant organizational crisis, and rebuilt it with radical transparency--an experience that grounds every framework she teaches in real operational leadership, not just research. Through her executive coaching and speaking platform, Unleashed Impact, she helps leaders and high achievers break free from shame, imposter syndrome, and the confidence barriers holding them back. She also serves as a private practice business consultant, providing business coaching to group practice owners across the country.

With 15+ years in the field, Samantha brings rare clinical depth to the leadership conversation--delivering keynotes that are equal parts research-backed and disarmingly honest, turning complex psychological frameworks into tools that actually change how people lead. Samantha is known for her sharp wit, radical honesty, and an uncanny ability to make a room full of high-achievers feel deeply seen--and ready to move.

Off stage, she lives in Pittsburgh with her first responder partner, two dogs, and a cat who has never once struggled with self-worth.

Dr Alisha Damani

Dr Alisha Damani

Dr Alisha is a physician, executive performance coach, and keynote speaker who works at the intersection of medicine, neuroscience and self mastery.

For over a decade she has worked with CEOs, founders, C-suite leaders, helping high-performing leaders close the gap between external success and internal coherence. Her methodology draws on clinical medicine, heart coherence as well as validated psychometric and physiological data to help leaders understand not just how they perform, but why performance degrades under pressure - and what it takes to restore the internal conditions for sustained, clean execution.

Her work sits deliberately at the edge of what most leadership development brushes over: the body, nervous system engagement and the alignment between a leader's intelligence fields.

She has spoken globally and she brings the same precision to a keynote stage that she brings to her clinical practice.

Kevin Wilkie

Kevin Wilkie

Kevin has been wrangling data and dodging dirty reads for over 15 years — back when SQL Server 6.5 was considered "modern" and query tuning meant praying to the optimizer gods.

His journey began as an "Accidental DBA" — one misfired report and suddenly he was deep in sys.objects, pretending sp_who2 was an actual plan. Since then, he's played nearly every role in the SQL Server ecosystem: SQL Developer, BI Associate, Production DBA, and now a Data Architect with a mission.

These days, Kevin spends his time normalizing chaos, denormalizing silos, and preaching the gospel of clean, well-modeled data. He’s been known to pivot on the fly, avoid Cartesian relationships, and bring deadlocks back to life — all while gently reminding teams that SELECT * is a cry for help.

If it involves data, Kevin's in — tuning queries, architecting solutions, or just nerding out about why surrogate keys are misunderstood. He’s not just passionate about data — he’s got a clustered index on it.
