Dear Friend,

Over the past decade, I've been a keynote speaker, featured speaker, or roundtable facilitator at hundreds of events.  My speaking style is unique; it involves a very active engagement of the audience using a state of the art "audience response system."  Feedback after using this "ARS system" has been extremely positive. 

Clients have included Institutional Investor, John Hancock, Marriott, McKenzie Financial, Tramontina, Assante Wealth Management, Cobank, NRECA, the Steel Manufacturer's Association, the Metal Services Center Institute, the National Human Resources Association, International Housewares Association, Emory & Henry University, the Lima Chamber of Commerce, and the FBI.

The three major speech topics offered include:

Topic #1. Forecasting the U.S. and global economy

This forecast can be tailored to either investors or business executives.  For investors, it includes a discussion of appropriate money management strategies over the course of the stock market cycle. For business executive audiences, my forecast similarly includes a discussion of appropriate business strategies over the course of the business cycle. 

For both investors and business executives, the most important part of my speech is to teach them to become their own economic forecasters. This approach is presented in my book "Always a Winner”.  For groups seeking a strong educational component for their audience, this “teach you how to forecast” aspect of the speech is always a big hit. 

 Topic #2. Strategically Meeting the China Challenge 

 The foundation for this speech is my analysis of U.S.-China relations in my book The Coming China Wars.  In that book, I describe how the emergence of China is sparking a tremendous competition globally for markets, natural resources, and political and military influence. For corporate audiences, I explain how to conduct a proper risk assessment when considering offshoring production facilities to China.  For companies facing stiff Chinese competition, I also offer a suite of strategies to combat China's "weapons of mass production."
