In August 1993, Dr. Hillman was the opening Keynote Speaker for Toastmasters International in Toronto. They invited him back for a concurrent session in Chicago in 1999.

An avid storyteller, Dr. Hillman has written many stories about his children. For example, "Moose on a Mission" is a story about his son Jeff and what happened during the 10 days they spent at a cabin in the woods on an island near Sioux Narrows, Ontario.

With a BA and MA from the University of Iowa and a Ph.D. from Penn State, Dr. Hillman has worn seven professional hats:

"He is not only a dynamic speaker, but also a dynamic person. I would recommend him highly to speak to any group."
