Courses, Lectures, Conference Presentations and Public Speaking

Public speaking and teaching is something that I both enjoy and seem to be good at. My first experience was in high school, when I won the Jordison Cup for the Best Public Speaker in 1987 for a speech on wisdom.

Since then, I have delivered professional presentations, academic lectures and workshop training in various countries around the world to audiences ranging from small groups of half a dozen to auditoriums of several thousand.

These are some of the themes that I like to give presentations on Corporate social responsibility, Environmental sustainability, Business ethics, Inspirational leadership, Poetry in business and Personal meaning
