I have been very fortunate to speak at conferences and host workshops virtually and at many locations across the world.
Audiences have ranged from 10 - 450+ and consisted of Engineers, Engineering Managers, Directors, VPs, CEOs, CIOs, and more.

- VIRTUAL WORKSHOP ATTENDEE, BOSTON, MA
"I liked how human focused and honest the session was. I've gone to too many motivation/values sessions that have a not very well hidden "but don't let this detract from productivity" undertone. This was a refreshing tone."
