Gary Rifkin Presents Encore! Encore! Energized Speaking & Coaching
 

  • Gary Rifkin is one of only nine recipients of the Joseph J. Charbonneau Award. This award, presented by the National Speakers Association / North Texas chapter, is given to a person who exemplifies the highest standard of excellence and professionalism in the speaking industry and who continues to be of service to the local chapter.

  • Gary Rifkin has been involved in the training and speaking business since 1987, when he began as a popular speaker at major colleges and universities. He has since catapulted into some of the most recognized and respected organizations in the world.

  • Gary has been called “The Energizer” by his clients.  This stems from his deeply held belief that if people can become excited about what they are learning, they will not only apply the knowledge to the real world – they will become advocates and tell others about it! 

 

  • Gary is an accomplished trainer and proven effective motivator for companies like UPS, where he still – many years after the initial classes – receives positive comments and requests to return.

  • Gary has worked as a consultant to such colleges and universities as Penn State, Baylor University, and Syracuse University

  • He has conducted seminars and workshops for a wide range of industries, educational institutions, and municipalities around the country

  • Co-author of The Productivity Path

  • Co-author of The Leadership Path

  • Co-author of The Communication Path

Family has always been very important to Gary. In fact, his current audio tape series is called “Grandma Says…” based on the wisdom his grandmother continues to share with him about feeling good, doing good, and being good.  Additional creative material is credited to his young nephew Jack.

Gary holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from Penn State University and Bowling Green State University. He is Past-President of the North Texas Chapter of the National Speakers Association and continues to remain active in both the local chapter and the national organization.
