I'm the kind of speaker who arrives early and stays late to make sure that I have maximum opportunity to interact with audience members. I've even been known to help rearrange furniture on occasion!

What do you love most about your job?
Every day, I get to learn about new things that can make a practical difference in people's lives. And I get to share that new learning through my speaking engagements and my writing for publication. These activites also bring me into contact with smart people who are passionate about their projects, which is a never-ending source of energy and inspiration for me.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I discovered that I'm an an excellent teacher, but not in a traditional classroom setting. My superpower is my ability to explain complex concepts to a wide range of audiences in a way that they can put them to immediate and practical use. My career as a public speaker and freelance writer has given me the opportunity to reach millions of people, which I could not have done in most other settings.
Why should our clients choose you?
First, I listen. I prepare every presentation so that I can customize it to the specific audience and the goals of the event organizer. I'm an excellent and reliable communicator, and I work hard in advance of every engagement so that I can deliver an outstanding result. I bring energy and humor to my presentations. I arrive early and stay late so that I can have as much time as possible for interaction with the audience members.
Where applicable, I'm also known for including extra value at no additional cost. For example, I hold separate VIP discussions for executives in addition to my main presentation, so that they can have some interactive time with me to discuss their important issues.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I am an expert in remote event technology. I have been producing virtual events for myself and clients since long before the pandemic, and I'm familier with a wide range of virtual event platforms. I have produced multi-day speaker summits as well as a series of online trade shows for consumer electronics companies. I helped launch VEG: The Virtual Events Group where I was the Chief Technology Content Officer for four years.
I have a professional studio setup for remote presentations, including digital cameras, quality sound equipment, professional lighting, high-speed fiber optic broadband service, and sophisticated virtual webcam software. In fact, I work with executives to help them create a better impression in online meetings and presentations so that they can be more persuasive and successful (https://the75percent.com).
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I already had above-average facilities for remote presentations before the pandemic hit, but I have continued to improve them. I stand out from the average online presenter, and have participated in many virtual conferences.
