Keynote Speaking

"I am most excited to bring Kevin's uplifting message back to work with me and to being a more mindful communicator. I also really enjoyed hearing about the different kinds of storytelling."

"Wow, wow, wow! One of the best education sessions I have experienced in years. Thank you!"

"I'm glad it's recorded so I can watch it again and take in more of Kevin's wit and wisdom."

In addition to regular appearances on TPT's "Almanac", big stages such as the Guthrie Theater, the Minnesota Orchestra and storytelling festivals around the country, Kevin is frequently invited to speak for a wide range of conferences, corporate events, galas and commencements.

Introduced to a national audience through his regular "All Things Considered" commentaries on NPR in the 1990's, Kevin has traveled extensively to speak on a variety of topics, including disability, resiliency, diversity, storytelling and Minnesota. His unique storytelling style, which always includes humor, sets Kevin apart from other keynote and inspirational speakers. He works closely with each client, thoroughly researching the group and crafting an original talk with personal stories that connect to the conference or organization's mission.

Also available for virtual presentations.
