"My passion in life is to enable other to accomplish more than they otherwise could — either through my coaching or through computer apps that I write.

I enable speakers to give the best presentations of their life, especially how to make presentations and visualizations more effective. Specifically, I can

• review/revise slides and presentations that you create;

• assist you on the organization, the slides, and content to increase your effectiveness;

• review data visualizations to make your slides more persuasive; and,

• coach you to improve your delivery and slides on any presentation you make.

I will help you give the best presentations of your life!

I want to help you be the speaker that others watch and say "wow, I wish I could present like that."

I recently retired from Shell Oil after 40 years of providing programming, database design, and training. I developed courses on how to use Data Visualization and graphics to be more persuasive; my students rated me 4.73/5.00 on the course's effectiveness. I've been a Toastmaster since 1982. I remain a member because of the thrill in watching the improvement in speakers whom I'm coaching.

I've been using Excel since 1985. I've used VBA to automate three of my jobs. I reduced the time for one task from 3 weeks/month to 4 hours/month.

I have been coaching speakers since 1982.

I was Shell's preferred Presentations Coach for Executives and Staff in North America. I have coached three TEDx speakers. I can provide you a link to view their presentations if required. As a public speaker, I've won multiple contests for persuasive and motivational speeches, humorous speeches, coaching, dramatic reading, impromptu speaking, and tall tales.

I have developed and taught courses in Excel, Power BI, Microsoft Access, and PowerPoint. I developed and taught the Helix database programming platform and developed and produced the video training offered by Helix." less...
