The Common-Sense Clean Energy Revolution
There is a clean energy revolution happening across the planet. What’s the best way forward? Many say the answer is more renewable energy. Others say we should expand hydropower, nuclear, hydrogen, geothermal, and renewable gas. How do we grow electric cars and alternative-fueled trucks, and do we even have enough infrastructure to address range anxiety? And what about reliability – can we keep the lights on when the sun goes down and the wind stops blowing? Will energy storage save the day, and what’s the best kind: batteries, pumped storage, compressed air, or something else? Where does energy efficiency fit in, and should we build more transmission lines to share clean power across states?
Whew, this is complicated!
Not really. The answer is… All of the above, taking action on whatever works in each state and region. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, there are clear ways forward with opportunities – literally – everywhere. The key is finding common-sense solutions, piloting them, sharing the results, and then expanding what works.
Key Takeaways
- California’s aggressive climate policies, the players in the debate, the motivation driving the changes, the difficulty in achieving 100% carbon-free power and the mistakes made, and why “90” may be the new “100”
- Climate policy and clean energy trends around the U.S. and the world
- The impact of national and global geopolitics on energy choices
- Survey Says… What people and businesses say they really want for our energy future
- Where venture capitalists are investing in new energy technologies – and some are kinda bizarre!
- New consumer energy usage patterns for the future
- What you can do to position your organization to message on your technology or program, influence outcomes and take advantage of these energy investments and policy changes

Analyze YOUR Handwriting and Learn Your Personality!
I have a very fun, highly interactive presentation on Handwriting Analysis! I know this seems weird, but if there’s a breakout session at a conference, or 30 minutes filler time in a general session, I can easily fit this in.
Using a pad of paper and a pen, each member of the audience analyzes their own handwriting during the presentation while learning key elements of their personality.
Some of What You Learn
- Are you chatty?
- Are you secretive, keeping your “cards close to their vest?”
- Do you have attention to detail, or are you “big picture?”
- Do you just want to know the answer up front – the bottom line?
- When making decisions, do you focus on the facts or do you go with your gut?
- Do you lean toward love at first sight, or prefer to get to know someone for a while?
- Can you keep a secret?
- And there’s much more!
Everyone is fascinated, loves learning about themselves, and it’s definitely a crowd pleaser. If you want to bring a super fun activity to your event, I’m happy to add this to any program. Everyone will be talking about it and your event will be memorable. Food for thought!
Who Should Attend

High Impact Teams
Your team will learn techniques to immediately collaborate better with long-term, high impact results

Leaders aren’t born, they’re made. And anyone can lead – you just need to know the
ingredients of great leadership. When you learn what the best leaders do and then act
consistently, you will find it easy to lead. In this interactive workshop, we break down the elements of leadership and actions necessary to develop and grow as a leader. Individuals will be inspired to lead from every level of their organization.
Participants will walk away as highly motivated leaders. They will discover and build on their past leadership experiences and learn how to quickly bring people together, the key for great teamwork. They will understand the importance of understanding and sharing purpose, so everyone knows who they serve, why they serve, and take responsibility for their role in accomplishing the organization’s mission. They will learn the leader’s mindset and how leaders think differently than others. And finally, they will see that the best leaders focus on positivity, and fully understand the changes they must make to be a great leader themselves.
Barry Moline has been a CEO for more than 28 years. From a moment at age 16 when he volunteered for a difficult assignment at a hockey game, he learned that leaders step up and take responsibility. That simple action led to greater opportunities, an early career refereeing professional hockey, including the NHL, and setting the stage for success as a CEO. Barry knows that everyone can lead and is eager to share the secrets of great leaders and their stories.
Teamwork and Culture: How Leaders Bring People Together to Accomplish More
Command-and-control, authoritarian styles of leadership are no longer effective to create great culture and teamwork. A leader’s new power lies in their ability to share a joint purpose and meaningfully connect with their people.
Drawing on experience and lessons learned from extensive research for his book CONNECT! How to Quickly Collaborate for Success in Business and Life, Barry discusses the secrets for creating great company culture as well as the specific techniques successful leaders use to motivate and unite their people to deliver top-tier performance. Attendees walk away with tangible, actionable strategies to meaningfully motivate and connect so they can build teams and retain employees in this challenging work environment.

Management and Supervisory Essentials
Series Description
The retirement of long-time managers and supervisors has thrust new employees into important supervisory and management positions, often with little advance preparation or no role model to guide their professional development.
This 4-part training series (or 2-day workshop) will make your transition to management smooth and successful. This class is practical, and you can immediately use what you learn. You’ll be able to build a high-performing team and motivate staff to accomplish important organizational goals. You’ll gain vital skills in giving feedback, delegating without micro-managing, manage change, and resolve conflicts. You’ll learn skills in leading meetings, critical thinking and problem-solving, time management, and communication. And finally, you’ll understand the key skills of leadership so that you’ll get yourself ready for the next step in your career.
Format
Sessions are interactive and include presentations, Q&A, discussions, small group breakouts, polling questions, and occasional pre-work (such as reading an article, article, reflecting on questions, or watching a video).
Who Should Attend

Mastering Negotiation and Influence
We negotiate all the time but often don’t recognize it; sometimes it’s obvious, but often, it’s not. Common situations are buying a house or car, setting our salary, or asking for a promotion. At work, we negotiate for our company, seeking deals that lead to the organization’s success. But negotiation is everywhere – even deciding where to go for dinner, what TV show or movie to watch, or where to take a vacation. These are the everyday negotiations with the people around us. And with multiple opinions, it can be stressful. If we don’t know the elements of successful negotiation, we leave on the table financial value and service benefits, shortchanging the best deal for all. Understanding the keys to negotiation and influence gives you and your company a leg up in every situation, every day, throughout your life.
How can we learn to negotiate so that we achieve win-win outcomes? And if we can’t reach a deal, how do we know when to walk away? What are the best ways to influence people to agree with you?
In this presentation, we discuss the essential elements of negotiation, using and responding to various tactics, the process of preparing, how to achieve positive outcomes, understanding influence, and if it doesn’t work out, when to walk away.
Key Takeaways
- The purpose of negotiation and the importance of relationships
- How preparing for negotiation is vital, and why most people are unprepared
- Understanding influence and emotion, and using them to your advantage
- Quantifying offers to understand the value and determine achievements
- Defining your priorities: financial, features, and emotions
- Presenting your value proposition, and conversely, your needs and outcomes
- The importance of understanding your negotiation partner and thinking creatively
- Knowing when to walk away
Who Should Attend
- People who buy and sell products and services
- Those who want to get what they want while maintaining positive relationships
- Everyone who interacts with others and wants to get stuff done with positive outcomes
This is a one-hour keynote or up to two-hour workshop with high participant engagement.
