I’m as happy as a convention keynote speaker as I am speaking to an executive team in their boardroom.  The feedback I get the most is “Entertaining and educational.”  I’m a bit of a nerd, so I like the science and history behind what I teach.  I’m not a great academic researcher, but I read the research of great academics. What I am good at is telling the story of their work and applying it in a way that you and your audience will remember. I like telling stories and frankly, people remember stories way better than facts.  Facts bore.  Stories soar.
