Previous Engagements

There is no way to identify every single public presentation I’ve done. There are hundreds of them. Some to a group as small as a handful of people, some to a group of 1,500 or more. That doesn’t include, of course, business presentations to particular clients or discussions where I might been a panelist. You’ll find here however some of the more recognizable presentations I’ve delivered since 2000 though my public presentations would go back to 1983.
