About the Author

Known across corporate America for his energetic, innovative presentations, Keith D. Harrell is a dynamic life coach and motivational speaker. Harrell shares his powerful message, Attitude Is Everything with audiences around the world. While growing up in Seattle, Washington, he aspired to become a professional basketball player. Although he never realized that dream, an article in The Wall Street Journal referred to him as a Star with Attitude.... What sets him apart from less successful speakers is driving ambition, and an attitude that refuses to flag.

As president of Harrell Performance Systems, Harrell has created a firm specializing in helping the corporate marketplace achieve and maintain their goals through the power of a positive attitude. He is a certified speaker, trainer, and consultant and has addressed many of Americas top corporations, including AT&T, Microsoft, and Kodak. Harrell counts Big Blue (IBM) and several other companies such as Coca-Cola among his repeat clients. His signature keynote address focuses on ways to meet the challenges of changing technology by understanding the power of human technology.

Harrell earned his bachelors degree in community service from Seattle University before embarking on a 14-year career with IBM, where he was recognized as one of their top sales and training instructors. In 1997, he received Certified Speaking Professional designation from the National Speakers Association. In 2000, Harrell was inducted into the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame, a lifetime award for speaking excellence and professionalism. And one of the countrys leading lecture agencies has put him on its list of 22 Guaranteed Standing Ovations.
