I revive the excitement of pursuing new possibilities.
Life is a one-way trip.
(So make sure you're on the right road.)
Today the rapid pace of our world can easily throw one person -- or an entire organization – off track. Often goals fall by the wayside, teams separate into tribes, and the passions, skills, and talents once focused on audacious pursuits are lost to aimless distractions and diversions. If you see that change on the horizon, talk to someone whose ongoing commitment is to guide others back to the road best traveled. Gary’s life has been led in pursuit of new challenges, adventures, and experiences. With a casual sense of humor, the skill of a master storyteller, and life lessons gathered in his travels around the globe, he’ll help your team explore new ways to move with confidence through our rapidly changing world.

A Message for Meeting Planners
In the days when I produced concerts, meetings, and special events, I knew that few in the audience appreciated the months of planning I had dedicated to creating each show. I took that as a compliment since it was my responsibility to handle the hundreds of details (and make just as many decisions) to ensure each event came off seamlessly and had materialized as if by magic.
Now, as a speaker, it’s my responsibility to help you create an event that pleases your attendees, achieves your goals, and results in the praise you deserve for your hard work and dedication. I know you'll do your job, and I guarantee you that I'll do mine.
