Meeting planners are looking for huge R.O.I. and are demanding cutting edge information, inspiration and motivation, wrapped up with creativity and fun, and delivered with platform excellence.

There is good news! You have just found it.

It would be logistically and economically unfeasible to hold your meeting on the plains of the African savannah. However, I can bring Africa, its magnificent wildlife and their intrinsic lessons, to your meeting. Oh, by the way - it's going to get wild!

We invite you to spend some time and learn more about what Convention Magazine has called "the most original and creative business keynote presentation in the market." Thank you for the opportunity to introduce you to "Leopardology™" and the "Business Gone Wild™" series of keynotes and programs.
