Emory Austin

Emory Austin is an internationally sought-after speaker who will elevate the way your participants view themselves and their varied role in your mission. Her exceptional gifts as a strategist allow her to connect life lessons to business insights with presentations that are unforgettable, delightfully humorous, and profit producing. Clients line up to hear and use her approaches to leadership development, change, balance, customer service and teamwork. It's all about subjective human attitudes and action choices in an objective electronic world, and Austin builds a bridge between the two that is both realistic and visionary.

Austin's busy calendar is filled with national and international clients in almost every industry- agriculture, banking and finance, insurance, business and social groups, chambers of commerce, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, education, food service, governments, healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications, churches, retail and direct sales, publishing, real estate, charities, and utilities- and, she is invited back. Again and again.

She is recognized as one of only a handful of great women keynoters, and was chosen in 1999 as the recipient of the National Speakers Association's highest honor, the Council of Peers Award for Excellence- Speaker Hall of Fame- for her expertise, style, professionalism, reputation, and overwhelming audience response. She was one of only five professional speakers selected for this distinguished commendation in 1999, and the sole woman honoree.

Austin's focus is on the solutions necessary for success in today's chameleon-like, constantly shifting and changing business climate. Our e-culture world is hungry for solutions that build balance between cold technology and warmer people skills. Austin's experience with leading international minds is a driving force in her acute analysis of ways to make this happen for your organization.

Her results in leading a national management firm and her later founding of SUITE 1000, a prestigious communications corporation, catapulted her to the forefront of entrepreneurial strategy planning. Austin was the three-year host of an issue-based television show, and has been featured in best-selling Simon and Schuster anthologies by request of the publisher.
