You deserve a professional keynote speaker with a business management background who has published several books, and who offers insight and hope. I'll bring you that, and much more. My metaphors come from my own life's evolution.

You don't get the same old concepts from me. My viewpoint is wider, my points are edgier, and I'm not afraid to fly in the face of conventional wisdom.

As a hang glider pilot, I learned that the air is turbulent and full of change (like the current business climate) but it's full of opportunities once you know how to find and utilize the lift.

As a jazz singer, I've discovered that the skills that jazz musicians use to collaborate, create and innovate are imperative for leadership and organizational teamwork today, because of the need to design new products and services on the fly.
