Gary Rifkin’s Summary

Since 1998, I have had my own training and consulting business. Over the years, I have gone from a generalist in the industry to being recognized as an expert in human, team, and organizational energy. In addition to regularly delivering seminars on diversity, team building and presentation skills, I have also become known for my signature presentation "Speak Like a Pro!" which is geared toward Subject Matter Experts who want to give more powerful presentations.
