I have been speaking at nonprofit events and conferences in the United States and around the world for the past 25 years and am consistently a highly rated speaker. I am also a seasoned workshop leader and facilitator with over 35 years of experience designing and delivering training for nonprofit professionals. I speak on and teach workshops about the topics in my books and research reports which include activating a culture of wellbeing in the workplace and leveraging emerging technology for social change. My presentation style is highly participatory and I use many techniques to engage the audience.
