Speeches:

• Issues in Cross-Cultural Communication
  Based on over 20 years of working with international students and also conducting workplace language training I have compiled a number of strategies to avoid cross-cultural confusion and misunderstanding.

• Advocating for a Cause
  How to advocate for a cause on a local or state level. What are the most effective forms of advocacy? How to use social media as an advocacy tool. How to start a grass-roots campaign.

• Public Sector Careers
  Often individuals think of the public sector as just encompassing elected officials or top members of state and federal government. However, right here in Ventura County we are currently facing a shortage of excellent careers in the public sector in local government. This talk explains the different careers available and the career paths for those interested in these positions.
