Allow Me to Help You

I speak on topics related to leadership, education and productivity.  As a school leader, I routinely have the opportunity to speak to both small and large audiences and I know how difficult it is to finding the right kind of speaker for my staff. 

Then again, when you match a great speaker with the needs of your group, great things can happen.  By reading through this page, you'll gain a better sense of who I am and how I might be able to help you.

CURRENT PRESENTATIONS

I will customize my message for your organization.  The key is to find the desired outcome and then tailor the talk or workshop to meet those ends.  I am currently providing talks and workshops around the following focus areas:

"Leading in the Digital Age: How Technology can Help You Sink or Swim" / Not every leader uses technology to its fullest potential.  From the ins and outs of Twitter to building a personal blog, this workshop provides practical tips on building a platform that uses technology for the sake of leadership.

“Spirituality of Work: How Your Career Just Might Save the World” / If it's true that God is present in and through our work then why do so many people dread Mondays?  From the Church's teaching on the value of work to the causes of workplace stress, this workshop aims to help people be transformed through work and then build a workplace of meaning.

“Leadership from the Inside-Out: A Soulful Approach to Organizational Change” / Mother Theresa once said that "God doesn't call the equipped but instead equips those who have been called."  Rather than pointing at others, this workshop seeks to increase personal reflection on the importance of spiritual leadership.  Your workplace (and you!) will never be the same.

“Getting It Done: A Business Approach for Those Who Work in Ministry” / Before the iPad was introduced, people said that there was no interest in a tablet.  Many of the greatest business ideas started with great leaders and this workshop introduces to ministry leaders the skillset of time management, calendaring, to-do lists, GTD and much more.

What You Can Expect

Here is what you can expect from me:

1. Prompt, professional replies to your phone calls and email messages.  I want to build rapport with you in order to better serve you.
2. A personal phone call with me prior to the event in order to better understand your organization and its needs.
3. Arrival prior to the event so that we have enough time to set up, prepare the space and then deliver the message.

5. Appropriate use of technology.  Whether a Powerpoint or video clip, I like to incorporate technology into my presentations.
