Arthur has 15 years of speaker and content experience working directly with the TED organization and mentoring and producing numerous TEDx events and workshops.

He is a self-described TED fanatic and is the founder and executive director of TEDxNaperville, the Midwest’s longest-running TEDx event since 2010. His events have challenged the norms in speaker content , delivery, and the attendee/sponsor experience resulting in leading lectures and workshops for numerous organizations including TED and TED Global on speaker content and creating engaging experiences. 

A recent launch is Swarm Effect ™ speaking, a speaker development model that enables anyone without regard to speaking experience to communicate with impact, grab attention, and get swarmed by the audience when finished speaking.

Arthur’s unique approach blends a TED-style of conversational speaking, content curation and experience design to transform speakers’ ideas into massive impact and engagement.

He has worked with a diverse mix of speakers including students, educators, home-makers, organizational leaders, civic leaders, millionaires, billionaires, Olympic athletes, and even a few astronauts.

Speakers working directly with Arthur have over 42 million collective TED/TEDx online views and growing.

Arthur believes everyone has an idea worth sharing and is tired of the current state of corporate communications.

Arthur believes that “Corporate speak” based keynotes, presentations, and sale pitches just have to go.
