Speeches & Workshops

“Finally! An understandable explanation of using technology a tool to achieve our objectives. And entertaining to boot!”
— Larocca & Company, Ltd.

Every Talk is Custom-Tailored

Every single presentation is custom-tailored to your audience. To accomplish this, Alex works with you and, if you allow, several members of the audience in advance of the presentation. Through interviews with audience members, Alex learns what their unique challenges are, what success entails, and what they’d like to learn in the talk. He incorporates all that – and their specific examples – into the talk while intertwining concrete resources, methods and take-home suggestions. So in the presentation, the audience is learning from the examples of their peers.

“Alex spent time with each of my four direct reports prior to the speech to ensure his remarks were relevant to my team. Alex clearly listened well because his speech was both enjoyable and relevant. The trends Alex highlighted helped my team see some of the issues they are wrestling with in a new light. Feedback from the event has been positive and we’ve added one of Alex’s phrases – the wife acceptance factor – to our communal lexicon.”
— Dave Edelstein, CIO, Dade Behring

Immediate Take-Home Value

Because each presentation is filled with techniques, suggestions and resources prepared specifically for your audience, attendees go back to work armed with tools for immediate improvement. And remember, Alex works towards your desired results. Audience members leave a Technology Tailor session more informed, motivated and armed with the tools they need to be more productive and effective at their jobs.

“Your presentation was lively, informative and engaging! I particularly appreciated the obvious time you spent understanding the needs of the audience and adjusting your presentation to speak to those needs. I could tell from their questions and their staying well past the normal adjournment time that you truly connected and gave them food for thought. Thank you!”
— Wayne Stellmach, Independent Computer Consultants’ Association

There’s no need for audience members to take notes during Alex’s speeches. Since his talks often reference many hardware, software and Web site resources, Alex e-mails attendees customized annotated resource guides within 24 hours of his presentation. Because each talk is highly customized and extremely interactive, Alex never knows what tools and suggestions will be used. This is why resource guides are put together after the event rather than before it.

“I have to tell you that you were the best speaker we’ve had all year and one of the best I’ve heard anywhere!! All the comments I have heard have been of the highest regard. They loved you, Alex!!”
— Rosemary Walters, Midwest Society of Professional Consultants

Well-Connected and Current

The Technology Tailor’s presentations include the very latest in high-tech and business news, trends and developments. Alex supports his main lessons with current examples taken from his radio show and other major media outlets. He also brings stories from technology manufacturers, business corporations, executives and consumers, who he’s constantly talking to.

“Excellent! I am not a technology person and yet I learned a tremendous amount! Your personal skills for connecting are great!!”
— David Hayes, McNeil & Johnson Learning Co.
