 Dr. Charles Garfield's remarkable career is itself a study in
the “how-to's” of high performance. He is co-founding editor (along with Stephen
Covey and Ken Blanchard) of Executive Excellence, one of America's most
important executive newsletters.
A strategy advisor to our nation's pre-eminent business and
nonprofit leaders, Charles Garfield is an extraordinary speaker and one of
America's most requested presenters. For example, he was invited to address the
Leadership of Oklahoma City - after the bombing of the federal building - on the
topic of rebounding from adversity.
His unique power as a speaker comes from his hands-on
experience as an executive and team leader in the profit and non-profit
sectors¡Xwitnessing, learning, and demonstrating the key skills of superior
service, quality and performance. This expertise was developed in two compelling
and challenging contexts: The Apollo Eleven moon-landing and Shanti Project.
As founder and executive director of Shanti Project, the most
successful organization in its field, he inspired service excellence for peak
performers of another kind, patients and families facing life-threatening
illness. His emphasis on total quality management and his results oriented
leadership style made Shanti an internationally acclaimed volunteer
organization. For his work with Shanti, Charles Garfield was named National
Activist of the Year, America's highest award to individuals making voluntary
contributions to public service.
He applied his principles of high achievement to athletics
and wrote the widely respected Peak Performance: Mental Training Techniques of
the World's Greatest Athletes. As a result, Charles Garfield was selected by the
United States Olympic Committee as a keynote speaker for the esteemed Elite
Coaches Symposium, addressing the head coaches of our Olympic sports.
