Peter Ricchiuti
Finance is an exciting field, but its professors are seldom so. It's why Peter Ricchiuti was twice elected Tulane University's top professor. His wit coupled with his crafty fiscal instincts have attracted the adoration of his students, the honors of his university, and the exalting reviews of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and CNN. Peter Ricchiuti is an investment sage, one that won't bore your employees with his expertise but inspire them all to pursue the profits you know they're capable of catching.

He is a one man tour de force who not only dazzles with the piano, but also inspires people to engage their passions, avoid downward spiral thinking, and focus on the power of possibility.
The Water Coolers
The Water Coolers employ original songs, musical parodies and comic sketches
to lovingly lampoon the fast-changing, fast-talking, hard-driving office
environment of contemporary America. Both a salute and a send-up, The Water
Coolers satirize the myths, mores and madness of corporate living.
Tom Brokaw
He was once the lord of NBC Nightly News. And he only left because he chose to. Tom Brokaw, from intrepid reporter to news anchor, has covered domestic and international matters for over four decades. American news in particular will imprinted with his legacy for even more decades to come, and his books, the newest being Boom!

Whenever you need a global perspective, the kind of perspective corporations must have in our world economy, Tom Brokaw is the advisor you will fight for.
Ian Morrison
He has contributed to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. He has been sponsored by the world's most prestigious drug companies. He has authored books on the arc of the health care industry in years to come. And he has captivated his audiences with a classic Scottish charm. Ian Morrison is, unsurprisingly, among the most sought-after futurists in health care today, advising medical companies, hospitals, and health care specialists in general on how to plan cleverly and prudently on the future.
Dara Torres
A mythical athlete, Torres has led one of the most decorated careers in Olympic swimming, one that even Michael Phelps would envy: twelve Olympic medals, at least one in each of the five Olympics she competed in, and the certainty that, if she swims again, the United States will have more cause to cheer. The only thing more remarkable than her record is that Torres is just 41 years old. The best-selling author of Age Is Just a Number, Torres will brighten your twilight years. If you or your employees feel that age is a burden and not a blessing, she is the speaker to go to; whatever your decade, you can always be successful.
Robyn Benincasa
There are few summits Benincasa has yet to surmount. Iconic in the World Champion Adventure Racing scene and heroic in the Fire Department of San Diego, her teams are the very avatars of synergy. Whereas most orators speaking on teamwork are only accustomed to white-collar vistas, Robyn Benincasa has braved more daunting peaks, venturing into the natural world with team members she must be in harmony with - cliffs are less forgiving than corporations. It's why Starbucks, AT&T, Honda, Cisco Systems, and Hewlett-Packard trust in her managerial insights. It's why that when Benincasa lectures, we listen.
Marcus Buckingham
The Buckingham method is rapidly becoming the method: cultivate merits before you shear flaws. After decades of study, we've come to know the power of diversity - it's what we strive for, and it's why Marcus Buckingham is such a magnetic speaker. High-profile corporations like Coca-Cola, Toyoto, Wells Fargo, and Disney feel this magnetism often. And Buckingham, by advising us to exercise our talents, is a welcome relief from all the focus we place on our shortcomings. An investment in his lectures is an investment in productivity.

Truly, Lencioni has rightfully come to the fore of the executive consulting market - and there he will stay. The Harvard Business Review and Wall Street Journal are only a few among the many who agree.
Tom Flick
Teamwork, total commitment, maximum effort, leadership and winning are all terms we have heard used in the business environment, but no where are these principles more intense than the 60-minutes of a professional football game. Former All American quarterback Tom Flick has been there.

Scott Deming
Although customer service is dying, his resolve is very much alive. And after nearly thirty years in the self-described trenches of corporate marketing warfare, Scott Deming has both the wisdom and the experience to bring that service back. By regarding customers and clients as potential relationships, not just as potential sales, we can rejuvenate the ailing faith they have in the good intentions of big - and small - business; and moreoever, we can sustain long-term growth through brand loyalty, the kind of allegiance only won by close, trusting connections. And to begin, Scott Deming himself will inspire that loyalty in you. His multi-million dollar marketing firm, RCI, didn't win The Business Journal's "Most Inspiring Business of the Year" award for any other reason.
Greg Schwem
Corporate life is taken much too seriously - or so Greg Schwem will make us believe. And Schwem, a comic of uncanny precision, never recycles his content. He will pry into your company quirks and remind you just how quirky they are, and his good-natured mischief just might expose some of your absurdity as well. Whereas most corporate speakers would like to teach you something, or sell a particularly hackneyed business model, Schwem is more concerned with easing your mind and splitting your side. And in a convention of severe and stoic presenters, that's a very welcome thing.
