Acclaimed for three decades as a professional speaker and author whose business-boosting works are published around the world, George Walther is now also celebrated as the "Traveling Twain of the 21st Century."

When it comes to seizing adventure and living life fully, George "walks his talk." Descended from famous American cannibals (really), he made his 13th trip around the world at age 25 and has gone on to vagabond his way through 99 countries. At the peak of his thriving career as a business authority, with books and training programs published around the world, he declared a decade-long hiatus to pursue a higher priority: single-handedly raising his now-teenaged daughter.

Available in many languages, his books include Phone Power, Power Talking, Upside-Down Marketing and Heat Up Your Cold Calls. His advice has appeared in publications as diverse as the Wall Street Journal and the Ladies Home Journal; media appearances range from the BBC and CNN to Regis Philbin!

Any expert's advice is of little value unless he can grab and hold your attention. George is uncommonly riveting on stage. He's been honored as a lifetime inductee in the Speakers Hall of Fame and also holds the Certified Speaking Professional designation. Most important, though, his audiences are involved, entertained, and they laugh a lot! George brings his extraordinary life experiences, an engaging storytelling style, his gift for clear and captivating communication, and his breadth of business background to your platform.
