Testimonials
After I saw the audience reaction to your powerful presentation at the World Chambers Congress in Istanbul I knew you had to be a keynote at our Annual Conference. My instincts were right. For both the WCC and the American Chamber of Commerce Executives crowds -- both over 1,000 -- you provided the perfect combination of clear analysis of current dynamics and fascinating insights about the future

Your presentation at the 2007 National Speakers’ Association Convention was among the most informative and value-packed I’ve EVER seen. I haven’t stopped talking about the ideas I gleaned from your speech since I left California.
