What I do best:

I speak about leadership, attitude and never accepting NO as an option to life's problems. There is a difference between decisions and choices...they are not the same things.
Speech topics:

"All Stressed Up & No Place to Go" Everybody wants improvement but nobody wants change. If there is one constant, it's change. We must learn how to embrace it and make it work for us...not against us. With change comes stress. Stress is also a big part of life and how we deal with it makes all the difference. I can help your group learn how to deal with both leading toward a happier and more productive life.

"Inventing Texas" – The darndest story about Texas you’ve never heard and every word of it is true. Texas was invented in 1910 and it all started with some children and a dead man. This is the story on how the Texas image was invented and the marketing of Texas began. This story is especially effective in middle schools and for short lunch or breakfast meetings.

“The Texas Mantra: No is NOT an Option” – This gets to the source of the Texas character and why Texans have become HOW thinkers and not IF thinkers. I relate what the source of that character is and how to apply it to your corporate culture and personal life. There’s lots of humor and important concepts to learn along the way.

“So you have a book. Now what?” -- This presentation gets into book marketing, back of the room sales techniques. An author will spend 6% of their time writing their book. They will spend 94% of their time marketing their book. It will always be up to the author to sell their book to the public. That fact is in stone. I can help you find some ways for you to market your book.
