Teaching
I have always enjoyed teaching. My interest began when I was a young man working in bike shops where I often had a less-experienced worker to “bring along.”
This continued on through teaching "Introduction to Management" at Newbury College in Boston in the late 1980s, guest lecturing in various classes at Babson College in Wellesley, MA, a five-year stint kicking off an annual five-day Senior Executive Business Education program for Georgia Tech University, and being a regular lecturer twice a year at my alma mater, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, Illinois, during my visits for SIU-C College of Business Administration Advisory Board meetings.
Most recently (2005), I have joined the Sam M. Walton College of Business in Fayetteville, Arkansas, as an Executive-in-Residence. I teach classes in Entrepreneurship/Small Business Management to undergraduate students (predominantly upperclassmen). I greatly enjoy the chance to influence young people to consider starting their own small businesses and want to do all I can to equip them to be successful in the business world no matter where they end up.
Speaking
In the past, I used to give as many as 50 or more seminars and talks a year, sometimes to audiences as large as a couple thousand people at large national conferences of architects and engineers. Today, I give a half-dozen or so talks, primarily for ZweigWhite gatherings or the occasional A/E or environmental firm company meeting.
Following is a list of seminars and talks I have coming up:
