About

I understand the importance of finding the right speaker for your event. As the National Seminar Director at the National Center for Fathering I was given the vast and rewarding responsibility to produce inspirational and educational events. I found as the executive producer of these popular  conferences, featuring thousands of attendees, the need for the right person at the podium. It is hard to describe the overall impact a powerful speaker can have on individuals, teams and entire organizations. Sometimes these defining moments happen in arena-size events, others in small corporate settings, while others happen in the momentum of multiday conferences. The undeniable reality is that the right meeting with the right speaker can set an organization on an immediate path to maximizing potential in various areas.
I know the difficulty of researching the right speaker for an event and I hope the information I’m providing will give you the information necessary to move forward with confidence. I’m grateful that you are here reviewing the possibility of hosting me as your next guest speaker. Below on this page is information that will hopefully make this decision as easy as possible and insure a right fit. I look forward to serving you in the future. I am honored that you are considering me.

What You Can Expect:

  1. Prompt, professional replies to your phone calls and email messages.
  2. A personal phone consultation with a member of my team prior to your event, so we can better understand how I can best serve you and your audience.
  3. An announcement about your event on my blog and social media channels. (This assumes that your event is open to the public and you want additional visibility for it.)
  4. A professionally prepared, dynamically delivered presentation focused on achieving the outcomes you want with your audience.
  5. A custom resource page, exclusively created for your attendees. It will include the slides I used in the presentation, along with links to books, articles, and other resources I believe will be helpful.
  6. A quick follow-up communication after the event with someone on my team, to make sure I met your expectations. (I also want to know how you think I can improve.)
