David Chilton is a man of mystery. As the author of The Wealthy Barber, Canada's all-time bestselling book, Chilton was at the pinnacle of success eight years ago – and then he disappeared. For close to a decade he was among the most sought-after speakers in North America. His unique combination of knowledge and humour helps to take the intimidation and dryness out of financial planning. Then out of the blue, he retired from speaking to home school his children. Now he’s back (his kids tired of him, he admits!) and we’re excited to be working with him. We’re also very pleasantly surprised. Chilton’s new speeches aren’t about just money. They’re about believing in yourself, overcoming mistakes (many of his are truly hilarious) and, most importantly, they’re about perspective – the missing ingredient in many people’s lives. We first heard he was back on the speaking circuit when the meeting planner for the United Way’s annual meeting told us, “Dave’s speech was the best I’ve ever heard – the audience reaction was nothing short of amazing.” Even though, at the time, we weren’t sure exactly what his new speech was about, we had him speak to 500 of our clients. The reaction? “Dave’s presentation taught me so much. I learned about taking risks, believing in myself, and knowing that success is possible…and all the while laughing hysterically! Thank you David Chilton and Speakers’ Spotlight!” - HOK Architecture |
