David Greenberg Speaker Biography

David Greenberg's fast-paced, fun, and results-driven programs continue to receive rave reviews from companies like AT&T, BellSouth, IBM, and the U.S. Department of Education. Because of his track record for exceeding client's expectations, more than 90% of David's clients have him back again and again. Not many speakers can say that!

At age 11, David Greenberg started his career as a door-to-door salesperson, selling burglar alarm-warning stickers to people who could not afford a real system. At age 16, he became known as "The Peep-Hole Boy" of Ft. Lauderdale. When he knocked on your door and you asked, "Who is it?" David replied, "If you had a peep-hole, you would know!" For $10 David would drill a hole in your door and your problems were solved.

After graduating second in his class at the University of Florida (the person who graduated first was a nerd!), David left his drill behind and spent five years as a BellSouth manager. He's also been an IBM employee, an Oglethorpe and Kennesaw University communication instructor in Atlanta, and even a stand-up comedian. He's broken his foot falling off a tightrope, and he's jumped from an air-plane, where he forgot to pull the ripcord.

Today, David stays on the ground speaking to organizations about stretching comfort zones and moving beyond current limitations to achieve personal and professional excellence. In 1988, David founded Simply Speaking, Inc., an Atlanta-based company that has helped more than 100,000 people worldwide to be more effective communicators. David is the author of three books, including Thank God It's Monday! Designing a Life You Love Beyond the Weekend, Simply Speaking! The No-Sweat Way to Prepare and Deliver Presentations, and The Little Book of BIG Ideas - A Guide for Staying Motivated in the Midst of Change.

David Greenberg is dedicated to his craft. He has earned the highest award in the speaking profession, the Certified Speaking Professional,which is held by less than 7% of the National Speakers Association's 4000 members. Toastmasters International named David the "Best Speech Coach" in all of Georgia. Quite an accomplishment for someone who used to be terrified to speak to large groups. Let him make you look good by having him speak at your meeting or having him coach your speakers to shine in the spotlight!
