GABE HOWARD – AWARD WINNING SPEAKER
REAL ENGAGEMENT
I leave audiences engaged and inspired. I have an interactive speaking style that keeps audience members focused and entertained. Engaged audiences always report higher satisfaction levels at events than bored ones do. One thing I’m not is boring.
REAL INTERACTION
I’m an honest, real, and approachable speaker. I love interacting with people. I talk with them, not at them. I’m intelligent, charismatic, and memorable.
REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES
If you’re looking for someone to recite definitions from a medical journal, I’m definitely not your guy! My strength as a speaker comes from sharing real life experiences about living with bipolar disorder.
