With access to just about anybody and everybody on the "speaking circuit" today... I essentially act in a dual role: (1) Trusted advisor and strategic partner to client organizations on helping them achieve their strategic business and/or event objectives, and (2) Trusted liaison and industry consultant to all of my external partners (talent/speakers), to guide and execute on the highest value outcomes for all parties.

Simply put, I serve the needs of corporate executives, HR leaders, sales managers, learning & development professionals, and meeting & event planners on any/all organizational initiatives.
