About/Speaking Engagements

I invite you to hear me speak about strategic and tactical issues of Web 2.0 and social network-related disruption, and how to harness these market forces to make your company and your career more vibrant. I advise firms on strategy and execution of social business. I regularly speak at conferences, professional associations and other executive and professional venues. I give public and private seminars for more in-depth learning. Below is a list of imminent and past public speaking engagements. I also enthusiastically present to private groups because I enjoy addressing specific interests and thorny problems.
