You have an audience. I connect with audiences. So, let's talk.
Your audience wants a connection. They want honesty, to lean-in, laugh, think, and have their emotions moved.
They are trading time and money for ideas and concepts that will help them grow and create the life they want.
Would your audience connect and respond to a speaker who:
Appreciates them? Your audience makes incredible contributions. I want to make sure they give themselves the credit they deserve while knowing there is always another level to achieve.
Reconnects them? People matter. Spouses, lovers, partners, kids, parents, and friends, I will help them reconnect with the important people in their lives.
Challenges them? To become the person they need to be to live the life they want to enjoy.
This 3-step “ARC” system creates lean in moments, where your audience puts the silverware down, the room is quiet, and people are thinking.
Life’s most amazing moments require “leaning-in.”

I was blessed to be a two-time winner of The Missouri Broadcaster’s morning show of the year. {Co-Host Janet Ellis}
As a morning radio host, I learned how to select the right material that would have the most significant impact on my audience. That experience, along with my pre-talk research will help me select the right material for your audience.
- Your audience will learn from real life successes, failures, & mistakes.
During my 30 year experience working with a family-owned company, I learned from every phase of the process.
Rapid Growth. We put a radio station back on the air and grew it to over two million dollars in revenue.
Strong Years. We understood media, and we put our heads down and worked hard.
Things were changing. Just like your audience, we saw the transition; we knew things were changing.
We did what we knew how to do; we worked harder. It had always worked before, why wouldn’t it work this time?
The lessons your audience will learn is to stay focused on the customer and not the history of your industry.
Leadership Lessons. Leaders earn their money when tough challenges arise.
My leadership was tested several times. I led, helped and supported team members who were struggling personally with family issues, substance problems, and medical issues.
I kept a team together when ownership struggled through a divorce and a very public feud.
I learned how Culture Drives Profits affects business growth.
- Your audience will learn how clarity of message impacts everything!
For over 3 decades, I’ve helped people tell their business story. In the process, I became a student of why some were successful and others couldn’t seem to get out of their own way.

- My “Product Problem” story that changed how I looked at marketing.
- The McGuffey mistake and how they can prevent it from happening to them.
- The lessons of working with Silver Dollar City.
This alone could save your audience thousands of dollars and lots of frustration!
My message is INTENTIONALITY!
Before Intentionality

After Intentionality

Being intentional with standards, responsibility, and your actions will drive implementation.
Your audience will learn:
Your audience will learn:
- The concept of using fear instead of running from it.
- What I do when I struggle and fail.
