Change Your Approach to Change
We're all faced with change. Sometimes we initiate new beginnings. Sometimes we just try to hang on for the ride. Bill's fascination with change led to three years of research—and to an upcoming book on the topic.

He'll share proven processes and techniques to help individuals and organizations get the best outcomes from inevitable, constant change.

Ready…Set…Stall!
For many managers and teams, creating a workable business plan is an unattainable goal. Or there is a plan—but it's been buried in a filing cabinet for too many quarters to count.

Bill shares tips for cutting through the clutter, challenging “business as usual,” and discovering what’s critical to the success of any company.

Business Belly Flops
Bill has launched (and sold) several successful companies, but it’s his eye-witness account of a few failures that really grab audiences. He explains who should (and who should not) start a business and outlines the most common reasons good business ideas fail.

In addition, Bill can moderate or serve on a panel on consumer electronics, market research, or strategic planning.
