Industry Convention/Forum Presentations
Striving to be stimulating, informative and entertaining, I've traveled coast-to-coast speaking at events ranging from national conventions to smaller industry forums. Rather than parrot what everyone else seems to be saying at any given moment, I engage audiences with ideas that broaden their horizons and help them explore new ways of thinking. |

Expert Panels
I've participated in a number of expert panels and find these to be interesting opportunities to exchange ideas, energy and inspiration. As these generally take less preparation, I try to be as available as possible for these opportunities when asked to participate. |

Classroom Lectures/Discussions
When I go into classrooms I always come away more enlightened, motivated and inspired. My goal is that the feeling be mutual. I'm open to present/facilitate on any topic listed in the Areas of Study section. If I happen to be traveling to a region on a client engagement, I'm able to absorb my own expenses and would be satisfied with any honorarium the school is able to provide.
