SPEAKING

Part of my personal tagline is “Some say I talk too much.” In my defense, I’m just extremely passionate about the things I’m involved in and, as a result, I tend to talk … often. Sometimes that talking takes place in my office, my home or my favorite neighborhood taco joint, and sometimes that talking takes place on a stage.

When you see me speak, you can be certain that I’m always going to share a part of me from stage, my talks always come from my heart and I am always brutally honest. I think I tend to share the things that most people are already thinking, but maybe don’t have the guts to share.

I’m a true believer that the things we learn are not to be kept for ourselves. We must pass along our stories as a means to help others. My hope by speaking is that somehow my experience and my story will inspire others to step up and do what they are destined to do.

In short, I speak because I’m passionate about inspiring others and because I have an ability to activate people, and I would love to speak at your event. Click here to contact me.

What others have said:
I’ve been called “passionate, funny, honest, inspiring and engaging.” Here is what others have said about my talks …

“Luke is a talented creative marketer & design professional who has found his calling: helping others to reach their goals through practical, disciplined, actionable plans. He is committed to doing this through his speaking, writing and consulting.” – David

“Luke gave a presentation at the 2010 Creative Freelancer Conference that was a great mix of practical advice and personal anecdotes. He helped the audience of independent creative-business owners understand how they could better manage their clients, and challenged them to make the tough decisions required to achieve better work-life balance. He shared his own business experience in a way that encouraged others.” – Bryn

“What a fun and compelling speaker!” – Cody

“Luke’s heart and desire to help, serve, and educate are truly inspirational. He has taught himself through a wide range of sources and takes every moment as an opportunity to teach. When I think of Luke, I envision a giant teddy bear because he cares that much about everything he does.” – Uday

“Luke is the kind of speaker you’re looking for: knowledgeable, engaging and funny at all the right moments. I was sitting in the back of the room during his session for the 2010 Creative Freelancer Conference, and I can tell you that the audience was listening, laughing and taking notes. And if you’ve been to any sort of conference or seminar lately, you know it’s not easy to distract attendees’ attention from their email, Facebook updates and Angry Birds marathons. So what are you waiting for? Hire him.” – Alisa

“Luke is a natural storyteller.” – David

“…what I like most about Luke is his speaking style is casual and entertaining to keep your audience engaged.” – Gina
