Profile
The Speaker Who Couldn't Speak
When I was three year old, I couldn't speak! My parents were very concerned
and considered taking me to a specialist. Lo and behold, I started to talk. When
asked why I didn't speak, I responded that I didn't have much to say. It's
ironic that the child who couldn't speak is now a professional speaker. I guess
that I'm making up for lost time.
I was born the son of hard-working Polish immigrants who came to the U.S.
with not much more than the clothes on their back. My father worked hard in a
foundry to bring the American dream to his family. I didn't start talking until
I was three years old. By that time, my parents were ready to take me to a
specialist. Ironically, here I am now, a professional speaker. Because I needed
to assimilate the Polish and American cultures simultaneously, my childhood gave
me a unique perspective and appreciation of the diversity of America, as well as
some of the challenges that come along with it.
After earning a Masters Degree in Education from Wayne State University and a
Masters Degree in Public Health from University of Michigan, I began my real
education, in the school of hard knocks. My early "speaking" career began as a
teacher and football coach at Wayne State University. This is where I learned
how to motivate and inspire. I also found out that people learn more when
they're having fun, so humor became an integral part of my communication style.
I have my personal reasons too. Let's face it, life is just a lot easier with a
smile on your face and a hearty belly laugh.
I enjoyed my success at Wayne State. I even won a football championship, but
after a number of years I was eager to find another growth opportunity. I found
it in the healthcare industry. I directed programs at hospitals including the
Wellness Initiative for 10,000 employees at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak,
Michigan.
A "Solutions" Speaker
I continued to fine-tune my leadership skills until I took the ultimate
leadership role, President of Potential Unlimited, a company I founded and still
run. Today, I travel all over the country to speak to audiences of all sizes and
interests. I also run workshops that offer one-on-one skills development in a
number of topics essential to the success of individuals and businesses today.
I like to think of myself as a "solutions" speaker because even though I
pride myself on keeping my audience entertained, my primary goal is to help
people achieve success by providing them with solutions for their own unique
challenges. The fact that I use comedy and even magic tricks during my speeches
is simply the teacher in me doing whatever it takes to bring the message home.
"He enthusiastically involved the audience in his presentation and they came
away energized and inspired.
The evaluations of his program were exceptional.”
