Brian Biro – America’s Breakthrough Speaker

America’s #1 Breakthrough Speaker, and best-selling author, Brian Biro helps companies, associations, and individuals to reach their maximum potential. Brian’s secret? Making every individual participant at his events feel like they are the stars of the presentation. Helping them to believe in themselves. Showing them how they can rise to their best level. And all in a package that is incredibly fun, dynamic, and entertaining, featuring real-life stories and practical examples to share the message. After graduating from Stanford, Brian’s first career was as a swimming coach. He received the prestigious United States Swimming National Coaching Excellence Award, in recognition of his team’s Top 10 National Performance. After gaining his MBA from UCLA, he subsequently rose rapidly to become the VP of Performance Planning for a major transportation company, helping to turn the business around, and quadrupling revenues in record time. It was this hands-on, transformational role in the transportation company that led to Brian finding his true vocation in life: working as a motivational speaker and team-builder. Brian applies this unique combination of the key learnings from his business experience, extraordinary coaching success, and unparalleled motivational events, to help individuals, businesses, and organizations to prosper and flourish – in fact, to transform. Each of Brian’s presentations is carefully customized to ensure it aligns exactly with the client’s requirements and wishes. Brian’s unrivaled client list includes many of America’s top corporations and organizations, such as Lockheed Martin, The US Army, The Naval Information Warfare Center, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, RE/MAX, Southwest Airlines, The University of Notre Dame, Starbucks, Microsoft, and Kaiser Permanente. He has also worked with many international clients, and has given presentations in over 15 countries across the globe. Virtually all of Brian’s business comes through word-of-mouth recommendations, and more of his clients invite him back again and again than any other speaker!
