I am an experienced public speaker and promulgator of public communications best practices. I am based in LA and often travel - check in to find if I'll be coming by your town in the near future.
As of mid 2024, I am asked to speak significantly more often than my schedule allows. I attempt to prioritize opportunities where my insights can deliver exceptional value for the audience while minimizing disruption to my family and company.
I routinely appear on podcasts and have also recorded several of my most popular blogs. I also record RE:Productivity with my brilliant wife Dr Christine Corbett Moran.
