HERE’S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING

BIG IDEAS.
REAL IMPACT.

Whether I’m in front of a room or working side-by-side with your team, the mission is the same: turn the science of persuasion into something people can actually use.

IT’S NOT MAGIC. IT’S PERSUASION.

PLT / 01

TRAIN THE TEAM.
CHANGE THE OUTCOME.

It's not magic. It's persuasion.

Give your team the tools to communicate with impact — in meetings, messages, and moments that matter.

They'll learn how to use persuasion ethically, lead with clarity, and apply behavioral communication across digital platforms.

What they gain: Practical influence skills they can use immediately, to fundraise, sell, and collaborate with confidence.

Result: Teams and leadership that communicate with clarity and persuasion, whether they're fundraising, selling, or simply trying to get a “yes.”

PLT / 02

BETTER SYSTEMS.
STRONGER CONNECTIONS.

Bridging operations, learning, and technology.

Through interviews, workflow mapping, and behavioral analysis, I identify where meaning breaks down and design systems that make information flow faster, clearer, and more human.

From classrooms to causes to companies: whether you're leading, inspiring, or teaching, I help you communicate with purpose and deliver results that last.

Create Amazing Content in Minutes

Turn weeks of work into hours — build campaigns, presentations, and training tools that look like a full team made them.

Build an Always-Responsive Organization

Make every question, message, and request answered instantly — transforming your team into a living, breathing knowledge engine.

Empower Learning & Training That Scales

Design learning once, deliver it everywhere — interactive, consistent, and built to grow with your people and your mission.

PLT / 03

MAKE THE ROOM
FEEL SOMETHING.

Speaking for gatherings of every size—challenging how audiences think about influence, leadership, and communication.

I explore how persuasion, leadership, and technology now intertwine — and what modern influence really looks like when every message travels through a screen.

What to expect: Research-based storytelling that leaves leaders seeing communication as the foundation of performance, not the afterthought.

ABOUT

MEET THE GUY
BEHIND THE SCIENCE.

I don't just teach comm and tech…

I show organizations how to use it to lead, persuade, and thrive in a world that's shifting daily.

I'm a full-time faculty member at Arizona State University and an adjunct at Phoenix College and Southern Oregon University, where I teach Persuasion, Influence, Consumerism, Teams and Collaboration and Communication.

Before that, I spent 20 years in corporate marketing, learning firsthand how the right message can move markets, shape culture, and drive decisions.

That blend of academic insight and real-world execution led me to develop Persuasion Leadership Technology (PLT), a framework that bridges communication psychology and modern tools.
