I don’t deliver pre-packaged presentations or keynotes. My goal as a speaker has always been to never deliver the same talk twice. When I’m invited to speak, I take the event, company, venue, audience, and what’s currently happening in the world into consideration as I prepare my talk.
My delivery ten years ago is not my delivery today. Some of my old talks I love. Others are hard for me to watch. Why? Because my perspective, craft, and listening ear have all matured.
That said, I’m still proud of all my talks because they were honest and present. When you book me to speak, that’s what you’re getting: an honest speaker. A present speaker. A speaker who cherishes thoughtfulness and uses a magic bag of tricks learned in the theatre to make his point.
