Speaking
am available for speaking engagements on topics relating to: personal aspects of security (e.g. Five Steps to Preventing Identity Theft), education/learning/workplace performance (e.g. Choosing a Training Provider) and some “fun topics” related to travel and art.

Ideating is the processing of thinking or forming ideas. I am known for new and out-of-the box ideas and for helping others throw away their boxes.
