I'm a lively and popular speaker who is comfortable in wide range of formats, speaking extemporaneously or from a script. As a chair and moderator, I guarantee on-time starts and finishes and sparkling conversation in between. Time for audience questions is always a priority, and a highlight of my talks and presentations. No audience comes to hear a speaker take up all the allotted time, and I make sure the audience gets a chance to weigh in and learn through questioning.
I'm no stranger to high-stakes speaking. I have testified before the U.S. Congress in my role as Deputy Associate Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during the Clinton Administration, and spoken in the Palace of Westminster in the British Parliament. I've delivered industry keynotes, chaired conferences and moderated panels, and frequently speak in the training workshops I lead for communicators, public speakers, and speechwriters.
