WALTER BOND
Inspirational and motivational speaker,
former sports star
Walter Bond Seminars, Inc.

Advertised on his Web site as a combination of "the sports success of Magic Johnson with the insight of Dr. Phil and the attitude of American Idol's Simon Cowell," Walter Bond credits his current accomplishments as a national inspirational and motivational speaker to athletics. Bond found the parallels between sports and business achievement striking.

He now has more than 100 speaking engagements with clients each year, including 3M, the American Society of Association Executives and Medtronic. Now in his eighth year in the National Speakers Association, Bond continues to share these keys to success with other people.
