It is through the power in our stories that we can

create transformation and adaptation necessary

to live into a positive and fulfilling future.

The Keynotes that I offer are based in years of experience and research in the areas of education and storytelling. I also bring my experiences as an engineer and research biologist to play. The speeches, although addressing specific topics, always keep positive outcomes as the focus. The Keynotes address the power of story in helping us meet the challenges  in difficult times as individuals, in our families, our work place, and in our community  at large.
