"I recently retired from the National Park Service (NPS) as a Park Ranger and Superintendent. As a Park Ranger, I spent the first 15 years of my career in charge of leading tours, conducting educational programs and giving formal evening programs to groups ranging in size from 50-400. I also spent 3 1/2 years as an NPS Instructor at a training academy. The last 15 years of my career was spent as a Superintendent at various NPS sites across the country. As a Superintendent, I was required to speak in front of employees, civic organizations, and legislators. In addition, I spoke at formal services and special events for audiences ranging in size from a couple of hundred to over a thousand.

In order to be successful at anything you do, it is important to be able to speak to people and to connect with them on a level that makes your presentation a success. I can help you learn how to do that in a very systematic way, and have found that the more you are prepared, the more comfortable you are. I can help you deal with any fears or concerns about speaking in front of others and help you create interesting and provocative presentations. You can get to the stage where you actually enjoy sharing information with others." less...
