Speaking
Engaging and Inspiring Audiences
“God has given you such a gift with words… and such a heart to feel and to express things!”
I am available to speak at conferences, special events, and on media outlets. But let’s be clear:
I’m not an entertainer for entertainment sake.
I’m a communicator.
I speak with clarity, practicality, transparency, and humor.
My speaking is like my coaching: personal.
I give audiences plenty to think about, but more importantly, I take them with me on a journey and inspire them to action
I have spoken to leadership groups, men’s meetings, women’s clutches, associations, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations. I’ve shared the platform with luminaries and once with a potbelly pig. The pig stole the show.

I’ve spoken throughout North America, Canada, the Caribbean, and many countries in Europe. I’ve done radio, television, forums, banquets, retreats, conferences, special events, and Sunday mornings.
I’ve been in the “stable” of experts kept by major media outlets to address special issues and breaking news stories.
I’ve spoken to groups of older folks anxious to stay in the game and lots of younger people fired up to get in the game.
My topics include:
Life and leadership
Masculinity and manhood
Identity, both individual and corporate
Confidence, grace, peace, and personal security
Significance versus recognition
Impediments to victory and success
Faith in the marketplace
Personal discipline and growth
Risk management
Team structure, composition, and performance
Board development and performance
Leading and managing transitions, succession, change, and innovation
Leading and managing the nonprofit organization
Personal effectiveness
Spiritual formation
