Presentations and Workshops
"Out, Out brief candle! Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon that stage and then is heard no more...." -Macbeth
I've had a great opportunity to develop and deliver many stellar presentations and workshops over the years. These are just a few that have relevance in today's marketplace and personal/professional endeavors. They are interactive, so you will always be engaged. The duration of each ranges from 2 hours to 10 weeks with take-aways you will be able to put into practice immediately if not sooner. If you'd like to schedule an appointment to see what I can do for you or your company, either with these or a custom-designed workshop, I will be happy to explore the possibilities.

“I consider Zen to be one of those superlative examples of what the human brain can store and serve up in unique and appealing ways at will on most any occasion or assignment. To say his range of knowledge and interests are "eclectic" is engaging in understatement. And this is what makes his services as a "possibilities coagulator" for his clients so valuable and exciting. Smart fellow! Great ally!” February 22, 2009
