By sharing your authentic experiences in your unique style, you’ll capture an audience’s attention. With my professional guidance and input we can develop your own special blend to ensure that your speech has the desired impact that will wow your audience.

Over the course of 35 plus years, I’ve worked with a variety of best-selling authors, business people, public intellectuals, TED speakers, well known journalists, and celebrities as a Speaker Agent and Coach. 

In addition, as a Certified Life Coach I have also worked with professionals from all walks of life and at varying stages of their careers. Take a look at my happy clients.

This question has so many elements, but first I would ask: do you have something unique that you want to say?  Why do you want to bring your ideas to the public? Who will want to hear what you have to say? What stories do you want to share? Once we get a sense of these answers we can explore what is next to bring your message to the stage. 

With over three decades working as a speaker agent, I know the ins & outs of this industry and can help you navigate the world of public speaking without the overwhelm. Are you a professional speaker, a celebrity speaker or a person with a great story? From exclusive speaker agencies to non-exclusive speaker bureaus, they all have their pros and cons and each have their own requirements. Together we can explore what will be best for you: Be an independent speaker, join a speakers bureau, or become part of an all-exclusive agency. Next we’ll build the materials to get you where you want to be. With my experience in the field, I can help navigate the best way for you to get your message to the right place, time and in front of the right audience.

The process of ‘Intellectual Architecture®’ consists of discovering the foundation upon which your ideas are built, and allowing us to explore the basement (early experiences), the house (recent and current experiences) and the roof (bird’s-eye view or future projects).  

It is a fun, non-threatening way to help people be more open to discovering what they have to draw upon. In a nutshell, the ‘Intellectual Architecture System’ is a rigorous exploration of our experiences and ideas, in order to transform the materials of our lives into meaningful stories and then impactful speeches.

Most often. At times, experts are so concerned about their own theory or research that they overlook how their messages will land with listeners. Are your presentations weighed down by industry jargon…or is it all numbers and research? As someone who has been on the front lines of the celebrity speaker industry I listened to thousands of speeches over the decades, I know the power of stories. Sometimes the speaker is sharing stories from their own experiences and sometimes they have interviewed others. Stories often serve as the best bridge to resonate with an audience. Working together, we will use my Intellectual Architecture System to mine your research and ideas for those points of connection and explore the best way to have your presentation be a rich tapestry that will showcase your ideas and engage your audience. See how I can help transform you into a professional, stage worthy speaker.

If we think it will benefit you, we can also get you ready to work with a speaker bureau. By developing your topics and identifying your target markets, you will be ready to approach speakers’ bureaus armed with the tools that will make you a more viable speaker. I can help you come in prepared, professional, committed and marketable, allowing the agency to view you as talent ready to be presented to their potential customers. This in turn will make you easier to book. Of course, developing these resources will also be very useful if a host organization reaches out to you directly. Let’s get started. 

Sometimes an outsider can see things that folks, no matter how committed they are to their organization are unable to recognize. As a Talent Development Consultant, I will be the observer who will listen to both what you say you are looking to achieve and what you might be missing.

This will help your team clarify what is really needed, so you will know what actions to take. My value is being a world class listener, armed with a variety of skills and fueled with decades of experience inside organizations working to grow their strengths while staying aligned with their mission.
