About This Speaker

 

Todd Hunt looks like a pleasant, buttoned-up corporate type. But when he opens his mouth, audiences reel with laughter. His stories and examples, delivered with the sly wit of a seasoned comedian, stick with you long after his program.

 

Consider a man who started a financial services company in Chicago, grew it to 400 employees in three years, then sold it and opened a bookstore in Vermont...after appearing on NBC’s Seinfeld for three seasons.

 

Todd Hunt did not do any of those things.

 

But he worked for a financial services company in Chicago, shopped at a bookstore in Vermont, and watched Seinfeld on NBC every Thursday.

He’s a proud Recovering Anal Retentive Professional (RARP), who finally learned to lighten up! Now he speaks for organizations that want to add fun to their meetings and send members back to work smiling, with tips to improve communication and success. Funnier than a business speaker; more informative than a comedian.

 

As an executive at Ogilvy & Mather, one of the world’s largest advertising agencies, Todd learned the inner workings of communication.

Additional jobs with an insurance administrator, direct marketing company and ad department of a major retailer confirmed what he had suspected all along—people mess up communicating every day!

 

In 1991, he started his own successful marketing agency in Chicago. One day he discovered that people would pay to hear his funny, true stories about sales, customer service, leadership and change that he garnered during his years in business. Using humor and sensibility, he demonstrates how we can all communicate better, become more successful and make more money.
