Speaking Engagements

It is my belief that people go to conferences and attend specific sessions to learn something and find ways to better conduct their jobs. I design my presentations to meet the unique needs of each audience rather than just delivering another sales pitch. As part of my speaking engagements, I also offer guidance and various examples/templates at no cost after the conference.
