Public Speaking and Business Presentation Services
An emerging way to reach larger, targeted public and business audiences is through speaking engagements and presentations. This approach is especially useful for issue development, conflict resolution and consensus-building on sensitive issues. It is also an efficient mechanism for addressing stakeholder target groups of interest to business and government.
We offer many years of public speaking and business presentation expertise. Robert Farmer is an engaging speaker who uses a completely interactive style of presentation with his audiences. His expertise and insights are called upon by many organizations to:
“Help us raise the bar in terms of where we're headed."
- Frank Comito, Executive Director, The Bahamas Hotel Association.
Audiences range from college students and the general public, to energy and environmental professionals, environmental groups, business leaders, government agencies, internationally acclaimed energy experts, and local to international political leaders.
NOTE: To inquire about availability and topic for your organization or event, please call (904) 874-3795 (9 am - 5 pm M-F, EST), or send an email to robertfarmer AT ourenergyfuture.org.
