When meeting planners choose me to deliver a keynote, they’re giving audiences a powerful experience that blends engaging stories, real-world examples, and practical advice.

Many of these meeting planners also have me deliver a workshop immediately following the keynote, expanding the benefits received by participants. Watch the video trailer to the right to see me in action.
