Lee Silber

Biography

Many best-selling authors are asked to speak, and Lee Silber is asked to speak a lot. What`s different about Lee is he was an award-winning speaker before becoming the award-winning and best selling author of 15 books. Silber is a speaker first, and has given over 1,150 presentations since 1991. He went from owning a chain of surf shops to traveling the country working with (and hitting home runs for) heavy hitters like Sempra, Lucent, General Motors, Wells Fargo, Qualcomm, Paramount Pictures, Petco, and the San Diego Padres.

Today, Silber is on top of his game and puts his extensive experience into every custom program he creates and delivers for rave reviews. In fact, Lee is on an amazing run of over 75 straight presentations (2009 to 2010) with a rating of "Excellent" or better. He is also using innovative and new techniques to make sure he makes an immediate and leaves a lasting impact on the people and companies he works with. Silber uses a variety of modern methods including going undercover in companies to look for people doing things right, multimedia (mixing in music and video), as well as magic, humor, and original stories. Along with a clear, simple, and memorable message, Lee creates real take-away value by making custom mini movies of the main points as an effective follow-up tool.

With 15 books and 20 years of experience, Lee`s list of topics is long, but each and every one can be customized to match your individual needs and goals. His presentations produce a lot of "aha!" moments when he speaks and even more "wows!" when he`s done. Silber is known for being prepared, professional, and personable (read: easy to work with) and lately has been the go-to guy when meeting planners need a polished speaker on short notice. He takes a fresh approach to coming up with just the right program, delivering it in the right way, all at the right fee for your group.
