 Looking for a Speaker?

Every audience has a story.

Whether you're planning a gathering at your church, retirement community, senior center, YMCA, library, civic organization, classroom, or simply a group of friends around the dining room table, every audience brings its own questions, experiences, and hopes.

I don't simply give presentations. Together we create conversations and presentations that fit your audience, your setting, and your goals.

Rather than arriving with a one-size-fits-all program, I begin by listening. What are your people experiencing? What conversations are they already having? What questions are they asking? From there, we create a presentation designed specifically for your group.

Drawing from more than fifty years of teaching, coaching, mentoring, preaching, and speaking, I've had the privilege of working with audiences ranging from fifth-grade students to senior citizens, from small groups of five to gatherings of hundreds. Along the way I've spoken in schools, churches, military settings, athletic organizations, community groups, and leadership events. Every experience has reinforced one simple truth:

Every audience is unique, and every presentation should be as well.

Some conversations focus on retirement and discovering purpose in a changing season of life. Others explore intentional living through Ten Balloons, lifelong faith, leadership, family, legacy, or the unexpected lessons found along life's journey. Sometimes a presentation grows from one of my books. Other times it begins with a simple question your group is wrestling with.

Whether you're looking for a keynote presentation, an interactive workshop, a book discussion, or simply an evening of thoughtful conversation, my hope is always the same: to help people notice what matters, discover new possibilities, and continue becoming who they were created to be.

If you're looking for someone to simply fill an hour, I may not be the right fit.

But if you're hoping to begin a meaningful conversation—one that people continue discussing on the drive home and around the dinner table—I would be honored to help.

I'd love to hear about your group and explore what we might create together.
