Bubbly and high spirited, I will engage your team in learning how to bond, communicate, innovate, and support one another using the techniques of improvisational comedy. This type of activity is wonderful for any team pursuit, and will improve team relations and communication. After many years of teaching, I have found this technique to be incredibly useful for classroom management, positive regard for the classroom and it's occupants, and an overall feeling of support amongst team teachers and students.

Brian S. Dennis has often been called a disaster magnet. On the ground during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike in southern Louisiana, Brian has been around his share of disasters. Add to that earthquakes, blizzards, forest fires and only one plane that caught on fire, Brian is well aware of what an interruption can do to a business. These days, Brian has set his sights on the looming disaster of Cyber Crime in America’s small business and non-profit communities. 28 million small businesses across the United States are woefully unprepared for the threats that cyber criminals bring.

His gift for public speaking and willingness to adapt to meet the needs of any group makes him a commodity among engaging speakers. As director of the nation’s first Cyber Security Center for Small Business, Brian S. Dennis is working to raise awareness on both the physical and cyber sides of business interruption. Brian is building a safer small business ecosystem, with business owners prepared to weather any storm.
