Speaking Topics & Presentations

Some of these presentations have been performed, some developed for future presentation, and others have been explored through speaking experiments.

Andrew has spent much of his life speaking publicly in connection with marketing, dog training, small business, community organizations and other projects. His speaking has included clubs, parks, small business groups, libraries and presentations overseas.

In recent years, he has deliberately expanded his work as a public speaker, developing presentations that combine storytelling, demonstrations, audience participation and practical information.

The presentations below represent both current and developing work. Some have been presented to audiences, while others remain in development.
