Turpin Communication instructors are dedicated to providing the best presentation and facilitation skills training available. As you can see in these short biographies, our skills as trainers, coaches and workshop designers are enriched by our diverse backgrounds.

Dale Ludwig, Speaker Trainer and President of Turpin CommunicationDale Ludwig (Trainer/President) founded Turpin Communication in 1992. He has a Ph.D. in speech communication and, prior to Turpin, taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Turpin name is a reference to a fictional character in one of Dale’s favorite short stories. It was chosen because it sounds nice next to “Communication” and isn’t too hard to spell.  Dale founded Turpin Communication in 1992. Since then he has worked to keep the company focused on what it does best: providing presentation and facilitation skills training in small, interactive workshops.  email Dale


... (you are) very good at providing constructive feedback without making one feel insecure about it."

--Lindsey R., Rolls-Royce


Greg Owen-Boger, Speaker Trainer and Vice President of Turpin CommunicationGreg Owen-Boger (Trainer/Vice President) has been with Turpin Communication since 1995 as a camera man, trainer, project manager and now as an account manager. Trained in management and the performing arts he brings a diverse set of skills and experience to the organization. During the lean acting years he started OwenProCo Small Business Web Services, which is still in business today and comes in handy when Turpin’s website needs an update. Greg also manages the technology behind our eLearning courses. About that hyphen in his last name, it goes back to the lean acting years when he was ill-advised to lose his last name and go by his middle name. In an even more ill-advised move, he inserted a hyphen when he left the industry. email Greg
