Hire Me

I’m hired to speak at events large and small, and to run workshops for creative and hi-tech teams. Things I’m paid to do include:

1) High energy talks
You pick the topic, and I deliver an entertaining, passionate, highly interactive 60 or 90 minute session. As you can find on this blog, I have a wide range of topics, challenges and subjects of expertise, including wisdom from three bestseling books.

To watch me in action, Many sample videos and podcasts here.

2) Workshops & courses
For smaller groups (10-20), I teach 4 hour workshops, or 8 hour courses, on many topics. Focus is on situations, discussions, and exercises (less lecture, more learning).
