People are fascinated by the future because it affects their lives, their jobs, and their wealth and welfare. And the future is a topic that fits every conference, and involves everyone in your organization. That's why Richard Worzel, Chartered Financial Analyst, best-selling author, and one of North America's leading futurists, is in such demand as a speaker, consultant, and writer.
He conducts structured brainstorming sessions that dovetail into your strategic planning and product design. He makes compelling keynote speeches to set the table, or end important conferences on a high note, and leads intriguing workshops that range from a couple of hours to several days. And he can help plan and prepare intelligently for our uncertain future.
What clients are saying...
Your discussion was insightful and gave us a lot to think about as we tackle our day-to-day work, and simultaneously plan our future direction.
Following the session, we received comments from participants who told us your message and presentation was interesting and thought provoking, and that they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas and concepts that will affect not only the work we do, but how we will communicate as a society. Your delivery was engaging and you maintained the attention and interest of the group throughout the session.
I want to especially thank you for your flexibility in accommodating our schedule and venue changes. Despite the changes to our original conference plans earlier in the year, you managed to deliver a current, focussed and relevant discussion in a very professional manner.
Thanks, and I look forward to hearing you speak in future!

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent presentation at our 2005 Ontario Southwest Municipal Conference on "Global Issues: Local Impacts". In keeping with the theme, our conference committee was looking for a keynote presenter who would be able to speak to global issues, and how they impact municipalities in Ontario. Your keynote speech, entitled "Future Tense: The Future for Ontario Municipalities" certainly accomplished that goal.
Your address provided a wonderful introduction to our day, and generated conversation amongst our delegates. As well, your efforts in tailoring your presentation to the needs of our group are to be commended. The result was a fully engaged audience who were interested in hearing what you had to say on a number of topics related to municipal governance.
In addition, our committee truly enjoyed meeting, and working with you, and I would highly recommend you to any group seeking a professional speaker.
Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, December 2005
We received many positive comments following your presentation...The results of our post-convention survey also demonstrate that your topic was enthusiastically received and was considered by many to the "highlight of the convention." Thank you for contributing so much to the success of our Annual Convention. It was a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to the opportunity of working with you again.

Perhaps the most refreshing thing that came out of your time in front of everyone was the comment that you made people think — a challenge sometimes. They said that for the first time in a long time they were taken out of their "50 mile radius" and into much broader and more interesting places. In our daily lives we are constantly challenged with the regular pressures and tasks, excess amounts of communication and many but usually the same issues and emergencies. You took them away from their daily processes and into the realm that literally broadened their scope and horizons. People need to stretch their minds. You gave us all much to think about. I would like to thank you not only for your content but for your professionalism in preparation and understanding the industry and some of the issues we face.
Ready Mixed Concrete Association of Ontario, October 2005
It was indeed a thought provoking experience to listen to your talk on the future of biomedicine...The subject you tackled, The Future of Life Technologies, was one of significant complexity. During your presentation you broke down the topic into simpler portions that made it easier for the audience to follow. You also had researched the subject extensively and had molded it, with comparisons to the oil industry, to suit an audience of Alberta investors. This captivated the participants...On behalf of the organizing committees of the event and also from me personally, I wish to thank you very much for having delivered such an insightful talk and made our lunch event a great success. We would not hesitate to call upon you for an encore performance!
