I'll be glad to help out with workshops or speaking topics. The ones I'd enjoy teaching would be about writing content for web pages or for SEO enhancement. In addition, if there would be a need for me to run a workshop on public speaking, I'd be glad to do so. Most of my workshops and corporate engagements have been to teach executives on public speaking, and I've been running seminars on this topic for the last fifteen years.
