What Makes Me Different from Other Speakers?

The Attitude Adjuster

When I speak at your event, you will experience energy, enthusiasm, engagement, and laughter. I make my presentations interactive and fun, while giving your audience something to think about. I will collaborate with you to develop the most valuable program for your participants.  As THE ATTITUDE ADJUSTER, I want to help your employees adjust their attitudes to create a more positive workplace.  I have shared the stage with well-known speakers such as John C. Maxwell, Nick Vujicic, American Ninja Warrior, Alex Weber, and Black Hawk pilot, Elizabeth McCormick
