What to expect

I offer a fun, engaging, highly interactive speaking experience. If you want someone to stand behind a podium and read powerpoint slides, I'm not your guy. If you want your audience to be engaged, fired up, and ready to take action with what they learn before they even get out of their seats, that's what I'll do for you.

When I speak on networking, I do live exercises right in the room to make connections among the audience so that people leave with immediate value. They will learn techniques and tools which will make them connect as soon as the talk is over.

As for what the organizer can expect, I'm easy going. I've been an event organizer myself since 1996, so I'm ready to help out however I can. No bowls of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed for me. You need help setting up chairs or someone to run an auction at the last moment. I'll roll up my sleeves and help make your event a success.
