Introduction:

 

Carl Walsh is a Professional member of the National Speakers Association and is one of very few Americans to have graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

 

He spent 20 years on stage as an Actor/Director/Writer, then found business to be a greater challenge with greater rewards.  He spent 28 years in corporate America, with such companies as Wherehouse Music, C&R Clothiers, The Walt Disney Company and Smart & Final Stores.  He has since helped people from all walks, express their ideas effectively.

 

He was one of ten finalists for the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking in 2009 and was featured in Toastmasters Magazine for his use of theatre games to express his points.

 

He now acts as a consultant and speaker on business management to professionals and MBA schools, especially on the topic of drawing out the problem-solving creativity locked up within the workforce, and is co-host of “The Oval Table”, the podcast for small business.

 

Today, Carl will be delivering an Icebreaker from the Motivational Strategies path.  He hopes to tell you a little about himself by giving you a look at what he considers to be one of the most important elements of leadership.
