The universe is wider than our views of it." -- Henry David Thoreau

As a published author, a former professor, and a veteran solo world traveler, I engage audiences around the world with my expertise, sense of humor, and enthusiasm. I inspire people to ask questions, to make novel connections and see new possibilities, and to take action to improve their own lives while making a positive contribution to the planet.
I have spoken in cities around the globe, including Buenos Aires, Argentina; Ghent, Belgium; Roskilde, Denmark; Augsburg, Germany; Paris, Caen, and Montpellier, France; Sydney, Australia; Oxford University, Oxford, UK; Izmir, Turkey; Albacete, Spain; and Florence, Italy. I offer stand-alone lectures and half-day or full-day workshops on such topics as creativity and writing, the power of language and the arts, public speaking, and health advocacy.
