As a public speaker, I am available for presentations to groups, workplace environments, and keynote addresses. I have spoken to audiences of 100 to 10,000 persons. Among them: The Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, the Annual Conference of California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT), and various Churches of many denominations throughout the world.

My speaking topics include:

The Day I Fell Out of the Sky.
In 1993 I broke my neck and paralyzed myself with spinal cord injury from a paragliding accident. This accident taught me how to deal with personal tragedy, and how to survive by turning disaster into opportunity.

Making Marriage Work.
Seven key principles all effective marriages have that produce healthy marriages.

Solving the Mid-Life Crisis.
Mid-life is a time to explore other rooms in the house. In reality, the crisis is an opportunity to find new goals and new direction for the next stage of your life.

Holding the Family Together While You Let Go of Your Marriage.
Divorce ends a marriage; it does not end a family. Parents must continue their role as co-parents while they let go of the parts of their marriage that no longer work.

Surviving Adolescence.
Picking your issues with your children when they turn into teenagers is essential work for all parents.
