Speakers

For years, Forward Momentum has captivated audiences at all levels on a variety of topics. We have experienced leaders who speak on a myriad of business topics that help you achieve your collective goal, whether your organization needs:

  • A team to “speak” the same language on a key knowledge skill such as project management or instructional design;
  • To build a world-class leadership team;
  • Employees to understand how each person communicates best to help strengthen relationships and build rapport;
  • To develop or motivate employees;
  • To improve processes or performance; or
  • To build a better team of negotiators.

A few of our speaking engagements have included venues such as IT Metrics and Productivity Institute (ITMPI); Association for Training and Development (ATD); National Contract Management Association (NCMA); National Contract Management Association SubCon (NCMA SubCon); Project Management Institute (PMI) chapter meetings; TX Digital Summit; CA Leadership Summit, Executive Women in TX Government (EWTG); Learning DevCamp; Government Technology Conference NY; Loudoun County Small Business Development Center; and Linking DFW.
