I need a rousing, motivational speech by an authentic, persoanble, believable person. But nothing corny or super-canned. Something fresh and thought-provoking.
I need a guest for my podcast that people will talk about - - - someone with at least provocative if not downright counterintuitive things to say.
I need a seasoned, experienced person to talk to my team, someone who can give them lessons-learned and hard-won tips to make their work easier and their lives happier.
Don't worry, you've come to the right place.
I'm a professional problem solver and consultant with 50 years of experience solving tough challenges. I have been speaking and presenting to groups of people, many of them skeptical engineers, for 40+ years.
Here are some speaking career highlights:
Invited speaker at international NDIA conference in 2022
Talked to thousands of engineers, of all ages and experience levels, while teaching systems development classes since 2004
Built and presented briefings to members of US Congress, general/flag officers and other VIPs
Three years teaching business start-up skills to new entrepreneurs. Contracted by US Veteran's Admin and University of Syracuse to teach US military Veterans in Germany and England. Chosen for my experience launching and working with small businesses.
Narrated audio book version of "Working With Porcupines" available on via "Books" menu above
Still actively teaching and speaking publicly
I have a knack for translating hard-to-understand English, especially "engineerese", into easier-to-grasp concepts. This skillset allows me to entertain and inform simuntaneously, by weaving together education, humor and useful information. The result is a speaking syle that holds an audience by establishing rapport and by offering gentle, memorable surprises throughout my talks.
