Speaking and Training

Have Mouth, Will Travel

Give your team, group, or event attendees unique insights and actionable tips drawn from 30 years of experience in digital marketing. Whether it’s virtually or in person, your audience will learn what works and what doesn’t in today’s everchanging world.

My talks focus on visibility marketing and practices that affect it, such as SEO, positioning, branding, thought leadership, writing, and communications. I also talk about technology’s increasing role in marketing, such as E-A-T and machine learning (or AI). For example, how to use positioning and thought leadership to become a recognized authority that gains high rankings naturally.

Throughout my career, I’ve delivered hundreds of talks to audiences ranging from small business owners to the C-suites of entreprise-level firms; and from a small boardroom with a few people to a convention center filled with 10,000 attendees.
