Speaking
Sharing, Spreading

My Approach to Speaking


>> I rigorously focus on the "So what" -
instead of on "who", "how" or
"what".
 

Therefore, any piece of content (regardless of its form) must be created to inspire, and/or empower the audience - not to celebrate the speaker, author, or organization.

Why & SO WHAT

What I believe: 

  1. We all stand on the shoulders of those who encouraged, enlightened, and enabled us. 

  2. Now it's on us to share: our stories, findings, and learnings,  - in order to inspire, educate, empower, and help.

​

Therefore:

  • I give speeches, workshops, and keynotes.

  • I create content - mostly posts and articles.

  • I share my perspective as well as the insights I was fortunate to pick up along the way.
