What audiences do you speak for?
I usually speak to front line managers in Fortune 500 companies,
government organizations and heavy emphasis on the construction
industry.
What led you to this career?
I have known that I would be a speaker since I was little. I didn’t know
the topic or the how but had that gut feeling. I started speaking in
college and was an emcee for many events. I continued to speak, but
not as a profession. Many of my events that I was speaking at, Stu was
a speaker too. I knew he was the President of NSA-NT. I called him up
one day and asked him to lunch. I picked his brain on how to make my
speaking business a career. This led me to my NSA family.
What’s one professional skill you’re currently working on?
I am a huge fan of education and designations. I set a goal of three new
designations a year. I am constantly taking classes and set goals to
better myself. In the speaking business, I am always working on the
basics and advanced techniques. I have been speaking for many years
and still like I have a long way to go to satisfy who I want to become.
What’s your go-to productivity trick?
I have a great a morning routine. I set up each day and make
adjustments to the week each morning. This allows me to tackle to big
tasks each day and have a successful week.
Who has influenced you most when it comes to how you approach your work?
All my Grandparents were successful entrepreneurs and I have learned
many things about business from all of them. Influences in the
speaking business have been many. I have picked up many techniques
from NSA members and have educated myself through books and
videos.
What’s a mistake you made early on in your career, and what did you learn
from it?
Just do it. Many new speakers hesitate and think they aren’t good
enough or things aren’t perfect. You learn by doing, that is what makes
you better.
What’s a work-related accomplishment that you’re really proud of?
I have many accomplishments that I am proud of, but I would say the
one that stands out is technology. I was always pretty good with
technology, but through Covid, I elevated my game quite a bit. I spent
many hours researching and watching videos. It really took me to next
the next level in how I present virtually.
What being a member of NSA-NT means to you?
NSA-NT has become my second family. I have made some great
friends and received lots of valuable information. I explain it like being
around a bunch of like-minded friends that just get it.
Something personal you want us to know- can be about family, a vacation, a
favorite food- anything you care to share?
I have 7-year-old twins. (Boy and Girl). They are my motivation and
why I work as hard as I do.
