Keynote Speaker Phil Berry


"Achieving Sustainability Out of Crisis"

 
Phil Berry is an effective and internationally recognized public speaker on the environment, business and climate change / global warming.  Over the past 20 years, Phil has spoken at more than 500 venues in more than 25 countries. Phil has the experience in the environmental field to bring confidence, credibility and meaningful examples to the content.  He also has the speaking skills to bring humor and hope.

 “Speaking about global environmental issues can be a daunting task for the speaker and a depressing activity for the audience.  There is a need for a delicate balance of:  frank talk about the danger, hope for the future, a bit of humor to relieve the tension and empowerment of the audience with real things they can do in their businesses and personal lives.”
