I’ve presented to 100+ organizations.

I can Keynote Your event, Facilitate a workshop, or participate on a panel.

I love public speaking, but it didn't start out that way.

I was required to teach public speaking in graduate school. I was never more scared than when I stood in front of that class on the first day! It was a trial under fire. But everyone – students and teacher – learned something about public speaking that semester!

Since then, I’ve delivered hundreds of presentations and have become the go-to presenter on cause marketing, sponsorship, and corporate partnerships for many event organizers.

Handwritten feedback from an attendee - and a drop of tomato sauce from lunch???

My Promise

I promise an interesting, enlightening, well-organized, and engaging presentation. Plus, I throw in a wicked awesome Boston accent for FREE!

Audiences describe my presentations as actionable, how-to, practical, forward-thinking, and step-by-step. My goal is "Outstanding!!"

What you read in my newsletter is what you get – but you get it in person and adapted for your audience. You’ll get a full set of slides and all the resources (e.g., articles, blog posts, tutorials) you need to get started the moment I finish my presentation.

Book Me to Speak at Your Event, Facilitate a Workshop, or be on a Panel.
