Bill Butterworth's extraordinary ability to blend humor, story-telling, wisdom and practicality has made him one of the most sought after speakers in venues throughout North America. Through his wit, warmth, insight and realism, he brings help and hope to his audiences everywhere.

Bill taught at the college level for thirteen years and was a counselor for six years prior to his current passion for motivating men and women in the workplace. Because of his remarkable abilities, Bill was awarded The Hal Holbrook Award by the International Platform Association, whose past and present members include Mark Twain, Theodore Roosevelt, Elizabeth Dole and Bob Hope. They consider him one of the select few to be named a Top Rated Speaker.

Since 1988, Bill has traveled full time speaking to audiences as small as 18 and as large as 18,000. With groups like Disney, Ford, American Express, Daimler-Chrysler, Nortel, Bank of America, Verizon, Young Presidents' Organization and 26 teams in the National Football League, Bill's client list reads like the Who's Who of corporations, associations, educational agencies and professional sports teams.

In 2004, Bill established the Butterworth Communicators Institute to train men and women to find their speaking voice and raise their speaking ability to the next level. The overwhelmingly positive response to BCI has been gratifying as students maximize their skills through this intensive, yet intimate three-day workshop.

As a highly regarded author, Bill's latest contribution is a series of business books with the overall title On The Fly.
