Authored One Step at a Time: A Roadmap for Problem Solving & Making a Difference
Though general education textbooks are widely available in the textbook market, few, if any, are geared toward helping students understand the cumulative value of their
general education coursework. One Step at a Time: A Roadmap for Problem Solving & Making a Difference is intended to do just that, revisiting, and building upon key skills and concepts as part of a step-by-step guide to help students identify,
understand, and address problems in the world around them. Each module in the text includes real-world examples and case studies to model ways of thinking about problems and offers strategies and tools students can use to become problem solvers and change leaders in academic, professional, and community settings.

Authored the book, New Traditions in Public Speaking , Second Edition
The world has changed a lot in terms of public speaking in the past few years, certainly more than would have been expected when the first edition of this text was written. This is largely due to the pandemic of 2020, which moved much of the world to remote work, necessitating much more reliance on remote presenting and video-based meetings.
Speaking on camera became a central part of everyday work for millions of people. New Traditions in Public Speaking , second edition, provides a complete foundational training in the methods, techniques, practices, and theories of public speaking, with a particular focus on the special conditions associated with studying speech in an online context. The majority of content in this text would apply to any speaking situation, but special “online to traditional” features will point out the differences between online and real-world speaking situations, providing students with simulations and exercises to develop the necessary real-world speaking skills that are more challenging to learn in an online setting.
