Practical. Interactive. Expert. Engaging. Fun.

With travel budgets tighter than ever conference organizers and event planners are being asked to deliver more value to their audiences than ever before.  As you know, big ideas from big name speakers are nice, but they don’t necessarily attract a bigger audience or provide what your conference attendees want.

If you want an engaging and highly interactive speaker who is truly able to connect with your participants, I’m a good choice.  If you also want your delegates to walk out with practical ideas and actionable recommendations and have fun in the process, hire me.

Because of my pre-program audience analysis process, I am incredibly good at understanding the client needs and culture.  Delegates will often say, “She really understands what we do. Does she have a background in X?”

The bottom line: I provide very practical, evidence-based techniques delivered in a fun, engaging way that resonates with the audience and ensures that delegates get results!

My Smart Talk programs:
We’re taught reading and writing in school, but somehow we don’t get taught communication skills. Smart Talk is not just saying things right…Smart Talk is saying just the right things!
