Speaking & Interviews

I’ve spent more than two decades speaking to audiences ranging from intimate workshops to crowds of over 3,000. I also teach public speaking and communication, helping others show up with clarity, confidence, and presence. I love talking about writing. The process, the craft, the psychology, and the constant swings between confidence and doubt that come with trying to build a creative life.

Whether I’m delivering a keynote, moderating a panel, interviewing an author, or emceeing an event, my goal is simple. Create something that feels different. A conversation that’s honest, engaging, and worth the audience’s time. Because people can tell when something is scripted. And they can tell when it’s real.
