I met Author M. L. Ruscsak a year ago and we just clicked. M.L. is one of the main reasons that I rediscover my passion for writing and being an author, taking the next big leap to send my book to a publisher. Having Cerebral Palsy myself, she helped me with her story of being a stroke victim. To me, M.L. is a Rock Star!!!!

What to expect
As a seasoned corporate speaker, I excel in facilitating enlightening and engaging discussions that leave an indelible mark on my discerning audience. Embracing my unique perspective as a person with disabilities, I eschew the glitz and glamour of high-impact presentations with flashy lights and deafening music. Instead, my hallmark is the delivery of authentic and captivating sessions, reminiscent of town hall-style gatherings.
I firmly believe in the transformative potential of audience interaction and tailor my presentations to harness this power effectively. Depending on the topic and the nature of the event, I may incorporate subtle props, employ compelling PowerPoint videos, or even use my trusted old wheelchair and cane to vividly illustrate key points.
The setup for my presentations is characterized by its efficiency, with the entire process requiring no more than a swift 30 minutes. My expertise spans a diverse spectrum of subjects, encompassing crucial areas such as anti-bullying initiatives for educational institutions, sharing profound insights derived from my experiences as an accomplished author and filmmaker, and imparting wisdom on the intricate domains of marketing, entrepreneurship, and the art of running a thriving business.
Furthermore, I approach the sensitive and vital topic of domestic violence with the utmost care and sensitivity. My approach creates a safe and nurturing environment for audiences to delve into this deeply impactful issue, fostering meaningful dialogues and learning experiences.
