Clayton Bye

Biography

Clayton Bye spent one year (in the 90's) as a professional speaker before suffering voice problems. By the time he was healed, his writing business had taken off, so Clayton never returned to full-time speaking. He has, however, addressed or taught at high schools, Colleges and businesses--both large and small, across different industries and on a wide variety of topics. Trained in both the Toatmasters and Dale Carnegie ways of speaking, Clayton has developed his own layed back but powerful style. He has also "borrowed" techniques and ideas from such speakers as Tony Robbins and Zig Ziglar, and he is familiar with the tenents and principles of NLP.
