Best-Selling Leading Authorities Authors

As you consider the line-up for your fall meetings, I wanted to drop you a note and call attention to a number of our speakers who are getting a tremendous amount of attention for their best-selling books. These authors are all talented speakers, and few things add buzz to a meeting than a keynote who has a popular new book.

Tony Schwartz is back on the best-seller lists with The Way We're Working Isn't Working. Drawing deeply on the science of high performance, Schwartz offers tangible ideas and action plans to make the day more positive, productive, and meaningful for both individuals and organizations. In his high energy presentations, Tony shares ways we can all perform our jobs at a higher level.

Paco Underhill is the author of the most popular book on consumer behavior, Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping, and his new book, What Women Want, is getting lots of advance press. Paco's talks are customized to focus on what makes people buy more of our products and services.

John Hofmeister, the former CEO of Shell Oil, has a new book called Why We Hate the Oil Companies, that has landed him multiple appearances on Today, Good Morning America, Larry King Live, and more. In his speeches, John explores the future of energy resources and offers a balanced and practical look at our country's energy future.

Marshall Goldsmith's latest book, MOJO, continues to sell, and he's garnered media appearances with Diane Sawyer of ABC World News and more. Marshall is corporate America's most sought-after executive coach, and his presentations are funny, insightful, and full of usable take-away.

Matthew Bishop's new book The Road From Ruin: How to Revive Capitalism and Put America Back on Top has been consistently praised for providing a comprehensive and highly readable reaction to the economic crisis.
