Speaker

Ironically I actually took a speech class my senior year in high school, but primarily because I had heard that it was an easy A (it pretty much was). I had no intentions of being a speaker but somehow an opportunity was tossed into my lap and the rest as they say is history.

I am currently speaking regularly to groups that include start-up businesses, established companies, musicians, non-profit organizations, colleges, high schools and pretty much any one else that is willing to listen to what I have to say.  Below is an introductory list to some of the talks that I give.

This workshop is an intense half day seminar that reveals many of the key secrets to getting a high search engine ranking, increasing your quality traffic and converting that traffic to customers. Attendees leave this workshop with a working knowledge of the material as well as solutions for their existing website as all of the examples used in the course of the day are websites owned by the participants.

How to Make a Living as a Musician

Unsocial Networking
1 Hour Workshop
The theory behind this workshop is to point a finger at the fact that most people are wasting their time using social networking to grow their business. I instead challenge business owners, musicians and non-profit organizations to think outside the box and use social networking differently to get the results they are after.
