He speaks...

I continue to present on various topic, one in particular:
"Successful leadership in challenging times..."

If you'd prefer another topic for your event, let me know (and give me enough time to make something up to impress you--you won't be disappointed).

If you have a corporate, trade, or association event, I'd certainly enjoy speaking to your group. You can see more information regarding speaking topics and details on my website.
