Motivational speaker on leadership, resilience, and peak performance.

Looking for a motivational speaker?

In 1992 I was a graduate film student at New York University when I was suddenly diagnosed with cancer. Having grown up hearing stories of how my grandparents survived the holocaust, (My grandmother was one of the survivors on  “Schindler’s List.”), I knew it was time to apply their lessons to my own fight for survival. Ultimately I beat the disease and went on to run the Los Angeles Marathon. (Read my full bio.)

During my chemotherapy and radiation treatments, I kept a journal, noting the attitudes and behaviors of my fellow cancer patients. I noticed that some suffered through their treatment: snapping at family members, complaining to nurses and succumbing to depression. Others, equally ill, spent this time joking, laughing and living. Their conditions were similar, but their internal reactions totally varied. This made me curious. (Read my full bio…)

You’re better than you think.

Having now been a motivational speaker for almost two decades, I notice the same varying behaviors at every company, association or school that brings me in to speak. Regardless of the setting, some people suffer while others thrive. All of my motivational speaker programs are about how to master your internal reactions so you can be among the latter.

Great motivational speakers both educate and entertain.

I want your group to laugh and enjoy themselves while acquiring rock solid techniques for living and working better. Regardless of age or occupation, everyone wants to feel strong and operate at their best. I’ve got the stories, the humor and the content to help them do just that. (Read my testimonials.)

More meat and less cheese!

A good speaker – motivational or otherwise – should be able to inspire an audience without hype. To me, the most useful ideas don’t need to be sensationalized. I absolutely believe what I speak on and strive to connect with the most cynical audiences members who’ve heard it all before. I’ll give your group an energizing presentation backed up with practical, real world content.

Motivational speaker for businesses, students and educators.

I began my career as a motivational youth speaker, cutting my teeth in front of the toughest audiences possible – teenagers. I still love education groups (teens, teachers & college students), but my content and experience (read my full bio) now prove relevant to companies and professional organizations (read my client list) looking to bring out the best in their personnel.

But don’t take my word for it.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million. So please watch my demo videos and decide for yourself. You can also read my motivational speaker program descriptions and testimonials. They’ll give you a sense of my style and subject matter. And please keep in mind that I do customize programs for every group (see my client list), so I’ll bring together the best of what I’ve got to meet your needs.
