Note About My Topics

If you have a need-theme, I can create it. In my 19 years of conducting professional seminars across North America, I've developed a breath of content and topics that can be utilized in a keynote or breakout. 

However, I work with 3 core themes / topics that, in my experience, deliver the most value. In the leadership development work we do, we consider a strong leadership foundation to be a "triple threat" (similar to basketball) and also address other popular needs such as change management and employee motivation and engagement.
