Types of Speaking Engagements

My speaking practice falls into three main areas:

Live public events - I give custom talks at conferences typically available to the general public.
Live private events - In these more intimate and interactive talks, I talk about subjects related to the book in a more private setting.
Live webinars - For clients looking to reach their audiences virtually, I create and give 30 to 60 minute webinars about many different subjects.

A Little Background

Going back to my grad school days as a teaching assistant, I have been speaking in public forums for more than fifteen years. After graduation, I started teaching technology classes both as a client and a consultant. These days, I speak about topics related to emerging technologies, management, and current and future trends.
