“If you are looking for a speaker who brings energy, enthusiasm and direction to your group, look no further than Phil Gerbyshak. Phil will get your group on its feet with energy and looking forward to making it a great day!” ~ Sophie Klossner, retired Local Chapter Director, HDI (formerly Help Desk Institute)
Why Phil Gerbyshak makes it great, not good
With a smile that lights up a room, Phil energizes audiences, giving them actionable information that they can use.
When you book Phil Gerbyshak to speak to your group, you get an energetic and enthusiastic presenter who immediately connects with your audience. How? He shows from the first sentence that he genuinely cares about them and understands their issues. Phil isn’t there to hear himself talk. He is there to inspire, whether it’s an intimate workshop or keynote talk.
Never plain vanilla and always colorful, Phil is fully expressed in his vibrant and joyous brand. And audiences love him for that.
Why Phil HAS to get the word out
Phil might literally explode if he wasn’t able to communicate. Speaking to groups is a very natural thing for him. He is a true people person who is fueled by connecting and interacting with others.
What better way to communicate with lots of people than by speaking?
Phil lives to speak TO and communicate WITH people, not to broadcast.
In fact, everything he teaches is about building deep and rich connections with your employees, customers, and business partners.
Hard-wired as a connector, Phil is constantly introducing people to each other and resources.
“Phil is one of those rare Lynchpins whose artistic approach to life, business, technology and relationships puts him in the category of the “New Elite” that Seth Godin speaks about: “those people who are actively engaged in new ideas, actively seeking out change, actively engaging.” He’s been doing this his whole career and he’s fearless in showing up authentically and with HEART. Phil is changing the world with his message, and has the bandwidth to transform and connect with audiences, indeed, with the world, like a Rock Star. He is prolific in generating new ideas and providing creative solutions that are innovative, fresh and game-changing. Phil is my hero and I am fortunate to be part of his circle.”
~ Laura Parrino Byxbe, Career Management Consultant, Right Management

Phil Gerbyshak on Reputation Management
What people are saying about Phil Gerbyshak
“Phil has spoken to the Recruiter Network on three different occassions. Once on branding. Once on LinkedIn & Facebook, and once on Twitter. Each time Phil has given an awesome presentation! He presents his subject matter in a way that teaches people new to the subject that they need to know to get started, yet giving great advanced ideas to those who are familiar with the subject. His presentations are very personable, fun, and relevent in the real world. He has a passion for his subjects and is always learning, so even if you have seen him multiple times you will always be able to pick up something new. He truly does make his presentations great. I highly recommend him!”
~ Everet Kamikawa, Past President, Recruiter Network
