The Mission
"What is life without a sense of mission and purpose? It took me more than three decades to truly hone into mine, though the undercurrents were always there. I am a communicator by disposition, training, and profession, and I enjoy it. People often talk about knowing your “brand,” and if we define “brand” as the characteristics that distinguish you, then mine rest on three pillars - Speaking, Teaching, and Writing, with a healthy dose of communications and brand marketing consulting tossed in for good measure.
"In terms of my work as a public speaker and communications/brand consultant, more information is available below and on the succeeding pages. However, the key point to remember is that regardless of the area of work or service, everything is done with a commitment to inspire, uplift and empower. It’s not just a business model, it’s a lifetime dedication.

Public Speaking
"Few things in life give me a sense of purpose and honored privilege more than speaking before a receptive, eager audience –regardless of size, topic or background.
