Hire Me

Books and blogs don’t inspire as well as people do.

20-30 times a year I’m hired to speak somewhere around the world, and for good reason. A passionate, smart and engaging living person sharing ideas is more potent than words alone.  I have a fantastic track record as a speaker, and even wrote a bestseller about speaking well. I provide a combination of inspiration, motivation, education and entertainment all at the same time.

1) High energy talks / Keynotes

I deliver highly interactive 45 to 90 minute sessions on a wide range of topics. As you can find on this blog, I have a wide range of expertise, including wisdom from three bestselling books on management, creativity and communication.

Samples: Here’s my famous lecture on innovation, plus other videos and podcasts here.

Previous clients include:  Yale University, MIT, Harvard Business School, Google, Microsoft, Ebay, The Economist, Adobe, Amazon.com, Intel, Netflix, Fidelity Inc., CNBC, MSNBC, NPR, Columbia University, and more.

2) Workshops & courses
Occasionally I teach deeper sessions with smaller groups (10-25), I teach 3-4 hour workshops on many topics. I’m a trained facilitator and discussion leader, and organize sessions around situations, discussions, and exercises (less lecture = more learning).

3) Expert review / Consulting
Borrow my brain – what are you building? I can review and advise on what you’re working on.

Sample Topics:

• Leading breakthrough projects
• Creative thinking hacks
• The myths of innovation
• How to manage innovation on a schedule
• The truth about schedules / shipping on time
• How to manage smart people
• How to make good decisions
• Mistakes managers make
• What to do when things go wrong
• Anything you find on my popular blog

I’m interested – What’s next?

Make contact. I’ll respond quickly and and see if your needs, budget and timing match mine.
