Jeff Thredgold has been entertaining and informing audiences for 18 years. He has a unique ability to "cut though the fluff" and discuss serious issues and developments in a very understandable way. Jeff has spoken to more than 1,000 groups throughout North America, traveling more than one million miles in the process.
Jeff leads his audience on a slightly irreverent, up-to-the-minute "tour" of the economy, financial markets, education, government, and a sneak preview of the future. He also customizes his remarks for the industry or group that he is addressing. He can present whatever length program is desired, from 30 minutes to four hours, and will always finish according to YOUR schedule, not his. He uses humor to keep things light, while also providing a great deal of substance for audience members.
Jeff is comfortable in any speaking situation. He moves around the room or raised platform (he likes to be a moving target) using a lapel microphone and no notes. He is always willing to conclude a presentation with "Q&A" with the audience, and…at 6'5"…he is easy to see!
Jeff can be very flexible to fit YOUR needs. He is available for keynote, breakout, panel, or workshop sessions. Many clients use Jeff as a keynote speaker AND for a breakout session at the same meeting…helping to stretch YOUR program dollars.
Also, as a former two time top-10 finalist in Golf's National Long Drive Championship during the 1980's, Jeff can also be useful if you are hosting a golf outing at your meeting (Jeff was known for many years as the longest hitting left-hander in the country). Imagine using Jeff to hit a 300+ yard "mulligan" for your attendees on a particular hole during a golf outing or having Jeff on a "scramble" team with your best customers!
