WHAT I WILL DO FOR YOU...

I love to meet people, learn about their passions then inspire them to expand their passions through my public speaking. If your group is looking for a speaker that features creative aspects on many fronts but especially photography and the arts then I will be ideal for you. I also am experienced as an emcee and panel speaker. If your interest in my talents are more for the traditional teaching experience please go to Education.

SPEAKING PHILOSOPHY

The most important aspect of public speaking is to connect with the audience, make them a part of the speech. I strive to learn as much as I can about the audience and strenghten this connection. Sometimes I contact members in advance, sometimes right before the event and sometimes during.

Once connected I build the relationship to inspire them to make each one believe they will be able to do something better at the end of the speech than they could at the beginning.

After it is over I hope for a smile and a few engaging conversations and the interest in having me speak again.

Sample topics include, but are not limited to:

Photography
Art
Creativity
Web Strategy
Optimism
My career path
