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

My speaking topics include:
