As the founder of BehindTheTalk, I am passionate about preparing executives for keynote presentations at major conferences both domestically and internationally. In addition, I am highly skilled at preparing investor pitches, speech writing, powerpoint presentations, and "on camera" media interviews. A few of the companies I have worked with include NBC Universal, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, ESPN, HBO Sports, Showtime, Amazon, Google, Oracle. IBM Watson, Facebook and Microsoft, etc.
One of my successes was when I pitched, sold, and produced my Network television series "Necessary Roughness" to Sony Pictures and the USA Television network. The studio and network invested over $85 million in the series which was nominated for a Golden Globe and winner of the prestigious 2012 Voice Awards.
I have a unique and varied background in Hollywood, corporate America, and as a professional athlete, which has allowed me to gain practical "real-life" experience. This experience has enabled me to refine and sharpen my public speaking skills on a grand scale. As a result, I have been approached by numerous CEO's and high-profile executives to refine and enhance their communication skills, to become more effective and influential. I now share these skills with top "C level" executives who are looking to achieve success with their audiences worldwide.
As time is of the essence for many "C level" executives, I have honed my tried and proven methods of influence and persuasion and have created a template for success allowing each executive to create a lasting impression for their audience. My clients have looked to me for business strategies and council, which far exceeds those provided by a public speaking firm or media trainer. I realize everyone has different wants, needs, and concerns, so BehindTheTalk looks upon every client as unique. I provide everyone with individual attention and the care that is required to meet their goals while staying true to their personal style, brand, and individuality.
I have traveled the world and worked in many multi-diverse cultures enabling me to be comfortable with people from all walks of life. Whatever the cultural difference, I knows first-hand what it's like to be a stranger in a foreign land and I remain sensitive to this. As a born coach, whether it's in sports, corporate America, or Hollywood, my passion is to inspire my clients to become the most effective and influential communicators they aspire to be.
