Our speaker today is Wes Berry

As an entrepreneur, Wes Berry founded and built a business with over $750 million in sales. He has been on the front lines of commerce and, most notably, has established a private vocational school, a retail franchise system covering five states, and a half-dozen million-dollar companies. He has also served on the boards of an educational foundation, youth assistance, Henry Ford Hospital, and as a trustee for a nine-figure foundation. His many honors include being the NAACP’s businessperson of the year. Optimist International even named him Businessperson of the Year; talk about a glass-half-full kind of guy.

A true storyteller, Wes is a communicator of the highest order, and his breadth of knowledge makes him a highly sought-after keynote speaker and workshop facilitator. He has authored sixteen bestselling books in the business and success genres. These include the Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestseller, Big Things Have Small Beginnings. His engaging speaking style also served him as a talk radio host. Even his mother says he has a face for radio.

His extensive business knowledge and communication skills have made him an expert media contributor on many topics, from commercial drone applications to the downsizing of Sears, leading to appearances with various media outlets. His media appearances include NPR, The Wall Street Journal, The London Times, Fox News, Entrepreneur, and Time, to name a few.

Married for 30+ years, he has four adult sons and spends his leisure time with his English Bulldog or working on his ever-humbling golf game.

The PowerPoint presentation will require video, audio, and the Internet. It will be delivered through his laptop, which needs to be on a podium from where he will speak.

A Lavalier mic is preferred if a microphone best serves the room, although it is not required.
