You may have the greatest idea in the world,
but if nobody understands it,
you may as well keep it to yourself.
Cutting edge leaders have to be highly effective communicators. Their brand and reputation live and die by it.
Take advantage of what powerful, well-told ideas and stories can do rallying all the critical parties who look to you for guidance, insight, and inspiration.
As a trainer of SXSW Festival moderators, I'll teach you how to speak in vivid, memorable ways that turn listeners into your biggest supporters.
Respect your ideas.
Deliver them the right way.
The way they deserve to be delivered.
The results can change everything.

MoonPay
Learn my proprietary techniques, rules, and strategies
to master every scenario you encounter.
PANELS.
KEYNOTES.
INVESTORS.
THE BOARD.
YOUR TEAM.
CUSTOMERS. PEERS. JOURNALISTS. SOCIAL MEDIA.
Our program is based on three pillars:
SITUATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Enter every scenario with a strategic game plan in advance -- anchored by my 3+3+3 Rule, Shoot-The-Ball Pivot Structure, and convincing body language techniques. Be ready to go for team meetings, panels, interviews, shareholders, board meetings, and the unexpected.
NARRATIVE
LOGIC
Create a genuine bond with your audience and peers as we collaborate on an arsenal of stories and anecdotes to support your messaging. Learn effective storytelling structure, especially the one part that everybody overlooks.
LINGUISTIC
RIGOR
The real secret weapon. Through regular vocabulary training, use the magic of words to speak with clarity in shades of color and not grey. Like a workout for your verbal dexterity, this practice makes you more quotable, memorable, and invite-able.
I only take three 1:1 training engagements at any one time.
