Speaking

Finding the right speaker to address the right topic at the right place and the right time is a challenge that I understand. The success of an event is often reflected in the quality of the speakers. Great speakers inspire praise for the event; mediocre speakers breed disappointment or sadly invite occasional criticism.

Thanks for looking here and considering me. I am honored.

What You Can Expect from Me

Prompt, professional responses to your phone calls and e-mail messages.
A personal consultation before the event, so I can fully understand how I can best serve you and your audience.
An announcement regarding your event on my blog and social media channels, assuming the event is public and you want the visibility.
Professionally prepared, dynamic presentation focusing on the outcomes that you choose.
An immediate post-event communication to confirm that I met your expectations and request your recommendations for improvement.

Previous Speaking Experience

I have been speaking publicly for over 30 years. As a consultant, I enjoyed about 100 professional public speaking engagements. During that period I also frequently appeared, on behalf of my clients, before dozens of city councils, local and state boards, as well as local and state regulatory agencies. Speaking publicly under pressure or on controversial issues became routine.

Since 1998, I have served as either a fulltime or adjunct professor at various universities, teaching nearly 1500 credits of university-level courses. Often it has been necessary to engage the attention of a room full of students for four to five hours. I find the challenge exciting.

Speaking Topics

I have a personal burden for the catastrophic collapse of the American culture and the family. After years of research and writing a book on the subject, I am convinced that the following topics are urgent and would be enthusiastically received. I eagerly look forward to speaking to you and your organization.

The Undeniable Crisis of Modern America and the Family

Reality Check-The Least Understood and Most Perplexing Cultural Problem Today
Evolution Enabled the Progressive Darkness of the American Culture
Broken Culture-How Did We Get Here?
Bunker Busters-Destroying Modern American Culture
Government Exists to Provide Security and to Protect God-Given Rights and Freedoms. That’s All!
