Barry Wishner is a business agitator, a keynote speaker with attitude, an instigator and a possibility maker who challenges audiences. He pushes, provokes and prods audiences to take immediate action to grow their business by turning bold ideas into remarkable results.

He has been called the down-to-earth business speaker who takes complex ideas and distills them into everyday language. Audiences have praised him with quotes like "Barry has the passion of Tom Peters (In Search Of Excellence) and the content of Jim Collins (Good To Great)."

A can opener for people's minds, Barry will rattle their cages with his thought-provoking ideas and unconventional wisdom. Based on his personal interviews of 350 Fortune 500 CEO's, and over 2,000 ground breaking business leaders and entrepreneurs, combined with street smarts gained from growing up in Brooklyn, Barry's down-to-earth style inspires people to use off-the-wall thinking to create a company of doers versus talkers.

Barry has been a maverick in the business world, a cutting edge entrepreneur who likes nothing better than creating and running unique companies. He decided to pursue the American Dream and started his own business, ProFormance, a management consulting firm with over $50 million in revenues.

His speaking career began while performing on NBC doing juggling and magic with his father, the original "Magic Clown," and Shari Lewis & Lamb Chop. Barry is a newsmaker who is often featured in USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle and CNN Financial News.

• The Power Of One - Fierce competition is coming from everywhere. Consolidations, mergers, acquisitions, outsourcing, space wars and scan-based trading are requiring manufacturers, distributors and suppliers to work together to grow their businesses. If you're not thinking about how you're building alliances, you'll be left behind. New business channels have changed the relationship between you and your customer and the sales rep is the heart and soul of the channel. Competition is fierce and differentiating your product or service is more important than ever.
