Speaking Topics
The New servant Leader:  A deeper look into the meaning of servant leadership and how proper servant  leadership is not a method but a life choice that should be tied to our spiritual development. 
 


God is Bigger Than a Banjo:  A personal spiritual journey from cradle non-practicing cradle Catholic to a deaconate candidate; all fueled by God’s use of the banjo in my life.  We place limits on God’s power, this lecture looks at just how big God can be when we let Him!
 


Practical Leadership for Clergy and Parish Staff: A customized interactive workshop that uses proven servant leadership, communication and a mission based strategies to help parishes overcome leadership,  teamwork and other common issues.  Each parish is given a totally customized program to deal with their issues, their mission and their team. 
 


Storytelling:  Jesus spread  His word by parable and story.  How can we spread His word more effectively in our time?  - the very same way.  Designed for catechists, youth ministers and clergy, this workshop helps bring out the story teller in each of us.   
 


One Man can Change the World: A motivational talk of the most unusual kind. It is all about a person so insightful, so compassionate,  so service oriented and so mission driven that his efforts directly touch nearly every American life 140 years after his death.  A man so humble that you have likely never heard of him.  A man whose vision is an inspiration and guide for servant leaders around the world.  Would this be of interest?  What if I told you he was a Civil War doctor?  This is a story everyone needs to hear.
