Presentations
I have made many presentations (see below) at national and international conferences and private sessions. The varied topics have all been about the impact of technology on communications.
As a member of Toastmasters International from 1988-95, I won a district award for evaluation, and led a Speechcraft session for beginners.
I've taught advanced presentation skills seminars. None are presently offered because of other commitments, but I'm always willing to discuss the concepts.
