A superb public motivational speaker...
Toastmasters International named Gary NC
Speaker of the Year for 1998 and 1999. Now, Gary is committed to
helping others create more interesting lives. His work on the topic of
networking makes him a sought after speaker for corporate retreats,
association meetings and other events where personal interaction and
meaningful actionable topics are addressed.
His talks are especially important for events where people are meeting to build relationships. His keynotes on networking for associations help attendees to be focused on getting together during their breaks, lunches and after hours to continue to build on what they have begun while sitting together in the audience. As a humorous speaker, he brings humor to the conversation about how to interact effectively while giving the audience ideas on how to avoid being a badger.
His book, available after a keynote address or humorous speech, focuses on how things are done in the south, but the ideas for how to connect are just as relevant in NY as in Lizard Lick.
Humorous Speaker
Humorous but helpful, Gary Davis is a humorous speaker that talks about the truths of networking with stories from his upbringing in Fuquay Varina, NC. His time in the small town awakened him to the true value of guarding your relationships. The stories he tells are poignant and down to earth. They serve as great analogies for connecting, as small town life taught him.
Author Gary Davis hails from Fuquay Varina, NC. Gary has had the opportunity to work with CIO’s and business owners to create vision in a networked world. A UNC graduate, he got his start as a high school English teacher, where he first discovered the power of words.
Laugh
while you learn as Gary spins yarns of his youth as well as sharing the
funny side of business networking today. Not a joke teller,
Gary’s humor is taken from the things he sees others doing to
connect today as well as what Gary has seen folks do right and wrong
throughout the years. Gary uses a blend of funny sayings, funny stories
and even funny voices to keep his audience in stitches.
Whether it’s Jim Graham, Elvis or Crazy Cousin Dave, you
never know who will show up in one of Gary’s talks. Like one
of his influences, Jerry Clower, you will never find inappropriate
humor in one of Gary’s speeches, just good clean fun.
