Speaking & Workshops

Ideas that Inspire Action.

Meaningful presentations do more than inform. They challenge assumptions, spark new thinking and leave audiences with practical ideas they can immediately apply.

Drawing on more than three decades of executive marketing leadership, combined with expertise in customer experience, hospitality and the Northern Barbecue™ Method, I deliver presentations that blend strategy with storytelling. Whether speaking to business leaders, hospitality professionals, tourism organizations or industry associations, my goal is simple: to leave audiences thinking differently.

Speaking Topics

  • Brand Strategy

    Building memorable brands through clarity, purpose and customer experience.

  • Guest Experience

    Why stories, curiosity and thoughtful experiences create stronger organizations.

  • Hospitality and Tourism

    Creating memorable visitor experiences that encourage engagement and loyalty.

  • Fire & Wine™

    Exploring barbecue, live-fire cooking, food and wine as a powerful platform for education, storytelling and unforgettable guest experiences.

Every Audience is Different.

No two organizations face the same challenges. Every presentation is tailored to the audience, blending practical insights, real-world examples and engaging stories that encourage discussion long after the session ends.

More than a Presentation

The most successful events leave audiences with ideas they remember and conversations they continue. My presentations are designed to create both—combining strategic thinking with approachable storytelling and practical takeaways.
