Speaking and Writing


Introduction:

Bill lectures throughout the U.S. and Canada to thousands of executives and CPAs each year. As an award-winning speaker, he has given the keynote address for 100's of conferences and well over that number of video-taped and live television programs. As an award-winning speaker and author, Bill is internationally published, with around 200 columns and articles on a variety of management topics to his credit.

Speaking Topics:

From a lecture perspective, Bill lectures on everything from consulting to marketing, from communication skills to negotiation skills, from leadership training to how to implement accountability, from discussions on technology to strategic planning, and more. He speaks about real issues facing American business, serious shortcomings regarding the way management manages, and the unrealistic expectations of the rank and file. His lectures are from a business perspective, augmented with numerous personal stories and examples. He also can custom tailor his lectures to suit specific needs. He tries to make his talks both informative and entertaining. And whether the topic gets at the heart of personal interaction or technical issues, keeping it simple is the watch-phrase of Bill's approach.
