There are a number of presentations that you can view on eCameron's site. They are intended to give you a feel to Todd Williams' presentation style, These are a mix of keynotes and track sessions.
Keynotes
The Extreme Leadership Keynote example was recorded on April 11, 2019, in Salt Lake City for a PMI Professional Development Watch the Video.
"What Would You Do?" Series
The "What Would You Do?" series is a highly interactive set of presentations that pose questions to the audience that they are supposed to solve. The example is the $305 Million Failure, What Would You Do? and, although to a small audience, shows the interaction and how the audience benefits. Audience interaction is generally 75% of the time. Watch the Video.
Visualizing Change Series
The Visualizing Change series of presentations to usually highly customized to the client or event. The example here is the generic version for conferences called Visualizing Change: Project Prototype. This presentation is often used to identify problems in an organization and determine possible solutions. It can be used to identify issues in process flows, manufacturing flows, and workflows. It has been used to identify unneeded processes and even document tribal knowledge. The level of visualization allows people to see issues that are hard to identify in other forms of meetings. Watch the Video.
Standard Track Session
There are two videos available to show keynotes that can also be done as track sessions.
Vision to Value: Executing Strategically Focused Initiatives presentation talks about aligning projects with corporate strategy. This is a business and strategy educational keynote. Watch the Video.
People or Process: Which Impacts Project Success More? talks about aligning projects with corporate strategy. This is a leadership-focused educational keynote. Watch the Video.
Keynotes set the tone for a conference, a day, or give people the ability to pull all of the events from the day together into culminating thought. We offer inspirational, leadership, and technical keynotes. Our flagship keynote is Extreme Leadership and is the example for our keynotes
Extreme Leadership is a multifaceted keynote fully customizable to your event. It highlights the following aspects of leadership:
- Leadership is a journey.
- Leadership is dynamic. You need different approaches to nearly every situation.
- Leadership does not need authority. It is not a title. It is something you earn.
- Leaders have positive attitudes regardless of the situation.
- Leadership does have core technical traits that, as individuals, we can develop. While other traits based on our personalities and are much hard to change.
- There are leadership passages that we must go through that define who we are as leaders. These may be work-based—a new job, stretch goal assignments, being fried, etc.) or personal (Severe illness, death of a loved one, etc.). These passages are learning events. How we handle them determines what type of leader we become.
This version of Extreme Leadership is customized for PMI Northern Utah's 750 attendees in the following way:
- The audience is all project managers
- The event organizer, Liz Price, had a theme of STEAM (Stories That Enliven and Motivate) she was developing and needed a central message to inspire people on the longest day of their three-day event.

Nearly any topic that Todd Williams writes about or speaks on, he can do a webinar. You can find some of his "uni-directional" webinars on ProjectManagement.com (see partial listing below) or you can have a fully interactive session as in the audio clip. The limitations of the session are based on the tool used. In this example, the ZOOM meeting tool was used and it did not allow recording of the video. The session was recorded on May 29, 2019 at 12:30PM London time (4:30AM Pacific). There were about a dozen people online, about half of them had their video turned on, and the meeting organizer (Jonathan Norman) moderated the call.
What Example Webinar: Eliminating Blame Covers
Here are three uni-directional webinar examples posted on ProjectManagement.com (these are free to PMI Members)
If you want educational keynote many of our presentations can be keynotes or track sessions. In the example below, the presentationVision to Value: Executing Strategically Focused Initiatives is given as a track session. This video shows the flexibility to work with the audience in ways that generally cannot be done in keynotes.
Example Vision to Value keynote as a track session
This session was given at the 2014 Instant impact Conference hosted by PMI Olympia on September 5, 2014. It was given twice that day. This is the afternoon session.
If you want educational keynote many of our presentations can be keynotes or track sessions. In the example below, the presentation People or Process: Which Impacts Project Success More? is given as a track session.

The What Would You Do? series of presentations have two goals: 1) educate the audience, and 2) get them involved with developing an answer. They are built on the premise that any audience has a wealth of knowledge and that we need to get away from the talking-head and engage the attendees. The example below is the presentation $305 Million Failure (At the time of this presentation, since it was still in litigation, it was only a $250 Million Failure). There are also ready-made presentations on sponsorship, ethics, and change management. If there is another topic you would like to see, please let us know.

Visualizing Change presentations have the impact of physicalizing inanimate objects and events. They are fun and involve many of the people in the workshop or presentation. In general, it is easy to get people interested in attending since mentioning that there are rope, chains, whips and blindfolds have a tendency to pique people's interest. But don't worry, as you will see from the video, this is a child-friendly event. The props physicalize constraints, chains of command, slave drivers, ignorance, and the like.
Many discussions are held ahead of the event to ensure that the correct issues are addressed. This presentation can model nearly any problem or change by helping define the current and future states in a very jocular and interactive manner.
Visualizing change presentations and workshops cannot be done online.
