Public Speaking
Helping You Make Sense Of Your Journey After Brain Injury



Providing heartfelt and professional presentations with a clear ability to captivate and connect with an audience is my main objective. I have been a Keynote speaker for a number of organizations with a compelling presentation titled, Look Closer. My Brain Injury is Invisible.
While I am usually the sole speaker engaging audiences with insights and stories from my TBI journey, other times audiences have the added benefit of my former speech & language pathologist, Katya Bowen, MS, CCC-SLP, CBIS, joining me on stage. Together we can offer strong presentations by weaving my personal TBI journey together with Katya's professional expertise.
Here are some of my presentations to consider:
-
Look Closer. My Brain Injury is Invisible.
-
Creating A Collaborative Team To Help You Return to Work
-
Turning Points to Insight
-
Listening For Your Story: Identifying and conceptualizing your experience with brain injury for the purpose of writing or telling your story
.
Topics can also be tailored to meet the goals of your event.
