Speaking Opportunities

If you’ve ever attended one of Patrick’s lectures, you understand why he is one of the leading speakers in cultural anthropology and comparative religions. Patrick approaches his lectures with the same passion and desire for understanding that he brings to his daily writing.

Speaking is about communication…about finding a common connection with an audience of strangers. Utilizing his natural humor, and his keen understanding of people and what motivates them to action, Patrick educates and informs while keeping everyone entertained and smiling.

Presentation Style

The lights are turned down, and as the audience enters the auditorium to find a seat, native music plays in the background, setting a receptive and enthusiastic tone for the lectures that follow. Throughout the lecture filled with history, stories and personal anecdotes, the audience is given a rare visual treat of artwork, photographs and graphics that complement and bring the lectures to life. Humor is the surest way to build rapport and keep the audience engaged. As such, when possible, Patrick’s lectures are peppered with dry wit and comedic timing to keep the lectures light and entertaining. Guests learn about ancient rites and cultures in ways that amaze and leave them wanting to learn more.
