I love public speaking. I'm particularly good at:
- Mapping new territory and guiding people through it
- Challenging people with new ideas without losing or alienating them
- Connecting large-scale change and technological innovations to business strategy
- Playing out those changes in specific industries
- Seeing shared facts in new ways
- Producing and facilitating productive workshops
For details on topics, see my point of view page.
