That's the question I pose to potential clients. I'm passionate about the power to influence people and move them to action through  the spoken word. And I share that passion by writing speeches and presentations for clients, coaching other writers and speakers to sharpen their skills, and teaching presentation design and speechwriting to people in small group workshops. I also love to explore Mac and iOS technology and I write about both subjects for ScreenCastsOnline Monthly Magazine. Plus I love to travel and have a goal to turn that passion into another career as a travel writer. Read my blog for insights on communication and the world unfolding around me on my travels.
