Need to help your boss? You'll be a hero for discovering me.

Results-oriented, career forging, must-succeed presentations for high stakes audiences require eclectic expertise.

I combine persuasive writing, strategic marketing, and high road humor along with many years of in-the-trenches experience as a professional speaker, corporate trainer and seminar leader to help you give your best presentation ever.

What Every Presenter Needs to Know

A winning presentation communicates your unique strengths and the benefits you offer; a mediocre presentation undermines them. You may not get a second chance.

Presentation writing is an art; the result must be engaging, educational and entertaining.

It's different from writing for the printed page that is to be read and studied; it's different from writing for the spoken word that also must actively capture your listener. It is multimedia storyboarding with text and word pictures that must enhance your critically important message, not distract from it or you as the presenter of it.

As you'll see from the programs above, I am particularly adept at designing highly effective programs on technical topics that communicate in a way people want to learn. (That tax program above is used to train accountants on a new ruling that previously confused the heck out them, but now they and also realtors and new investors who have no knowledge of this tax law understand it, too – the first time through it. Imagine if the IRS made everything this understandable!)

The key is to design your presentation so it is understandable by anyone who is likely to be in your audience.

For example, you may have a hot new software product that you are introducing at a technical conference for an audience mostly filled with computer "nerds," but also in that audience is the person who makes buying decisions on software who isn't one. Your presentation needs to connect with end-users and buyers. (Seeking seed money for a new business? Reread this paragraph.)

The sexual harassment prevention program I designed and used for training judges and lawyers for their accredited continuing education includes the very same slides I used to train thousands of employees whether they're HR executives or factory workers. This program was cited as a "best practice" at a top American company because it communicates effectively to the entire audience.

When I collaborate with you, I will use these same skills that I use to design programs for keynotes and breakout sessions at conferences, for internal and external sales and marketing settings, for courtroom trials and arbitration hearings, and programs that are used repeatedly for training thousands in Fortune 500 companies, nationwide.

We'll get it done on time and within your budget. You will be empowered.
