About

Summary
I am a results-focused learning and performance coach, mentor and speaker. I help developers, instructional designers, speakers and management to find unusual solutions, be more creative, approach problems and constraints in new ways and generally look at situations from new perspectives. I am known for new and out-of-the box ideas and for helping others throw away their boxes.

I help speakers evaluate their presentations and style (either live or via DVD).
