IN, USMy job is not to get you hyped up for 24 hours; my job is to equip your audience to be better at their jobs from this point forward. Let's get started.
I have a normal job and am not a full-time speaker, so I often do the speaking fees backward. Tell me what you have in your budget at I'll let you know if I can do that. There are also creative ways we can work together.
Special rates for disadvantaged business groups. Again, call to discuss.
I do not publish my speaking calendar.
OK, now the bio. I have been in the business world in many capacities since 1985. I never planned to become a speaker.
I am a graduate of Indiana University and the Advertising Arts College, and also attended the Universität Hamburg. My career includes being a comedy writer* and morning show personality in Southern California, owning an import-export business, working on big events, including the Formula One race, and finally ending up where I belong, providing technical software to help professionals do their work more profitably.
*Yes, I crack jokes when I'm speaking. I can't help it.
After landing several significant clients -- including big corporations, five Super Bowls, over 20 Final Four tournaments, major civic organizations, etc. -- a professional group asked me to speak on how I did this. So, I put together a talk in 2014 called "How to Sell a Service" and presented at their conference. My phone started ringing right after that and I now speak to professional groups nationwide on a regular basis.
On the personal side, my work has taken me to more than 25 countries and I speak a couple of other languages. I sit in with local bands when they need a really average musician and I like to work out. I have two adult kids and have been married for hundreds of years.
People ask about my company name, Fifty Steps Studio. I have run a number of marathons and half marathons. When you stop at a water table during a race, it is easy to just... keep... walking for a while because you have lost momentum. So, I decided that no matter how I felt, I would take fifty steps with my water or Gatorade, then start running again. It has proved to be a useful practice -- and metaphor -- in other aspects of life.

Everything You Do is an Investment
FORMAT: Usually keynote, sometimes a breakout session.
Time is so valuable that it literally cannot be replaced. Your attendees' time means everything. So why does is so much of it wasted? And that money they worked so hard for? Sometimes it just... slips away.
This happens in business and it happens on a personal level.
Give me 60 minutes and let's do something about this.
"Everything You Do is an Investment" is my most-requested...
How to Sell a Service: It Starts with C
FORMAT: Keynote or breakout session. I also do a variation of this, How to Land the Business, which applies many of these principles to a broader business spectrum.
Selling a service = selling promises. No wonder it's not easy. But once you understand how your buyer sees things, you will sell a lot more.
This is not a rah-rah sales speech or slick closing technique. That's all bull. This practical, entertaining presentation will help your attendees...
Maximum Trade Show Results on a Minimum Budget
FORMAT: Breakout session or workshop.
After planning and manning booths at more than 140 trade shows on four continents, I have learned there is no mystery to this. I also know you can waste a lot of money on your booth that you could have saved.
This meat-and-potatoes presentation is as practical as it gets: getting maximum return out of your trade show booth on a minimum budget. This also includes looking at the areas where it is OK to spend...
Make Your Point
FORMAT: Keynote, breakout session, or lunch presentation.
OK, talking about talking is a little unusual, but this is the world we live in now. Everyone presents to others. I will help you do it better.
Background: I work in a co-working space, and people frequently ask me for tips on speaking. So, I put this together and did this talk for the first time in January 2022 for the benefit of my co-working people. Word got out, and I was hired almost...
Visual Search and Your Business
FORMAT: Keynote or breakout session.
This topic reflects what I do professionally as VP of Sales at tech firm Imaginestics. It will be of interest to the audiences noted and not to a general audience.
This is a low-tech introduction to a high-tech field, visual search, which is the ability to locate information using shape instead of typing words. This is for IT, programming, design, engineering, manufacturing, e-commerce, and aftermarket...
