Laugh
‘til you cry. Learn ‘til you change. These are the only
rules that apply at a Bruce Christopher presentation. At
the heart of it all, what separates Bruce from the pack is his
outrageously funny dynamic delivery of today’s hot topics. Bruce
inspires audiences internationally by giving them real,
immediate solutions for change without fluff and hype. Bruce has
spoken at the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table Conference,
London’s Royal College of Surgeons, and the Mayo Clinic. He is a
practicing supervising Clinical Psychologist holding degrees in
Professional Psychology and Interpersonal Communications. He
speaks more than 150 times a year and is one of today’s most
sought after speakers in the Fortune 500.
As
a corporate coach, Betsy Hudson believes education is
empowerment. She helps individuals and businesses develop and
execute a personalized plan for success. She understands the
challenges of the corporate executive, as well as the trials of
the small business owner or lone salesperson working from home.
She loves working with her clients, knowing that each has
unlimited potential, and seeing all that they can achieve. Her
varied background includes teaching elementary special
education, corporate sales and marketing, training, and
organizational development. She has sold everything from shoes
to hamburgers, consulting to cocktails, homes to bows and
arrows, and financial investments to circus tickets – not
necessarily in that order!
