Events
I have spoken or held workshops more than 1000 times in my career. I present both in-person and virtually at business conferences and events around the world.
Among other venues, I have appeared at:
- The Harvard Club of New York City
- The Waseda Marketing Forum in Tokyo
- The National Press Club in Washington, DC
- IBM’s Global Innovation Outlook in Shanghai, Tokyo and New York
- Consult-Con in San Diego
- The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce
- And in front of various trade groups, on the radio and for podcasts
More recently I held a series of well-attended business and leadership weminars.
My presentations are often tailored to an audience’s specific interests and needs. I can shorten most topics to fit a 20 to 30-minute slot or fill an hour to a two-hour session with Q&A, with or without slides.
I also design and facilitate highly interactive workshops that challenge his audiences’ assumptions and create new ways of thinking. Depending on the topic and goals of a workshop, sessions can run from just a few hours to several days.
My opinions have appeared in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, The Financial Times and Industry Standard. My online columns as well as my blog articles on topics relating to disruptive leadership have attracted a wide following.
