For communications training to keynote speaking, David Okerlund is truly one of the most diverse orators of our time. Perhaps that's why he is among the most requested individuals for repeat appearances. And perhaps that's why he has won more speaking contests than any other active professional speaker today. Or, perhaps it's his 25 years of training experience in communications, persuasion and advocacy, employee enrichment and empowerment, sales training, and creativity/innovation that have helped him achieve this distinction Perhaps, again, it's his experience teaching debate and speech at Oxford University, or the skills that have earned him a place in the International Speakers Hall of Fame. Maybe it's the drive to twice finish in the final three of the World Championship of Public Speaking, a contest that includes over 20,000 people from over 45 different countries. This makes him among the very few to successfully cross-over from the academic podium to the professional platform. He is the author of "The Big Red Machine," Mama Never Taught Us How to Drive a Garbage Truck" and "Contracts for Conflict."
