Communicating – To bring issues alive

Communicating – To bring issues alive

,

Your passion for an issue can ignite others.

Every invitation to speak at a conference or for a media interview is an opportunity to inspire action.

I’ve appeared in up to 70 print stories and 50 TV broadcasts a year, including the New York Times, 20/20, and more. I’ve delivered presentations to audiences ranging up to 2,500 people. And I’ve directed media-earning studies viewed online by up to 350,000 people in a day.

… On a broad swath of eye-opening topics

In 20+ years researching urgent health and environmental issues, I’ve learned what opens eyes and inspires action.

I create and deliver presentations with powerful graphics and stories that hit home, rock reality, and, ultimately, give hope. I’ve criss-crossed the country delivering up to dozens a year.

Contact me about your next event. Specialties: health and pollution issues for food, tap and bottled water, cosmetics, and pollution in people. I often cover sustainable business, getting involved, and uplifting signs of change.

Houlihan - Heinz Women's Health and Environment Conference

… To a broad range of audiences

To Congressional committees I’ve testified on cosmetic safety and bottled waters’ environmental downsides.

To over 2,000 people at the Heinz women’s health conference I told the story of how nearly 300 pollutants can contaminate a baby before birth.

At the West coast Bioneers mega-conference I focused on plummeting children’s health trends, and the power of advocacy and market changes to combat them.

And to government science panels I’ve presented health risk calculations for mercury in seafood, arsenic in pressure-treated wood, and Teflon chemicals in carpet, clothing and cookware, while to academic researchers I’ve described how science fuels advocacy.

Through compelling stories, solid data, and clear messages, we can begin to embrace common goals. Problems shrink and solutions come into view.
