Occasionally I begin by saying, “I was not destined to be on stage.” I was born with a speech-related defect, so public speaking was not the obvious path.

But that challenge forced discipline. It taught me timing, clarity, and how to communicate with intention.

More than thirty years later, I’ve spoken to audiences around the world as a leadership speaker and storyteller, helping leaders communicate vision in ways people can see, feel, and act on through Lead With Imagination.
