Keynotes and workshops

STAGES NEED DIRECTION, NOT MOTIVATION.

I speak from 14 years of building companies on three islands, running the Aruba Chamber of Commerce, and marketing for brands like McDonald's, Marriott and Hilton. Every talk ends with something the room can do on Monday.

The practical details

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SAY YES.

I am not a full-time speaker. I run an agency, chair a Chamber and invest, which is exactly why the talks are about what actually happens rather than what sounds good from a stage. I take a limited number of engagements a year and I decline more than I accept.
