Speaking Engagements

Hire me to speak

I love to talk. I also love audiences. If booked for your speaking engagement you can be assured of two things: 1) I will respect the time constraints you give me. 2) I'll make my presentation interactive so your audience stays alert and engaged.

I speak on a variety of topics, including:

• Energizing Your Brand with Web 2.0
• Hard Copy: Why Writing Skills Drive Career Advancement
• The Digital Divide Between Young & Old
• The Psychographics of Cyberspace
• The Changing Face of Media
• Viral Marketing and the Velocity of Information

I am regularly asked to emcee events and moderate panel discussions, assignments I accept with zeal.

I have spoken to a variety of groups, including business events produced by my erstwhile employer, American City Business Journals, and my former newspapers, the San Francisco Business Times, East Bay Business Times, and Portland Business Journal. I've also delivered talks to the City Club of Portland, the National Association of Women Business Owners, Junior Achievement, East Bay Commercial Real Estate Women, Rotary Clubs, chambers of commerce, and many other organizations.
