Public Speaking
I have been giving talks to churches and synagogues throughout the San Francisco Bay area for the last five years. These talks typically blend elements of religious scripture with psychological theory and research. I consider these talks to be "adult education." In other words, my goal is for you to get something relevant and meaningful for your daily life. If you would like to bring me to your congregation or organization, contact me via the link on this page. If you would like to get a sense of who I am prior to beginning work with me, feel free to attend any talk I'm scheduled to give.
