Cameron Herold is known around the world as The CEO Whisper. He is the mastermind behind hundreds of companies’ exponential growth. Cameron's built a dynamic consultancy- his current clients include a ‘Big 4’ wireless carrier and a monarchy. What do his clients say they like most about him? He isn’t a theory guy- they like that Cameron speaks only from experience. He earned his reputation as the business growth guru by guiding his clients to double their profit and double their revenue in just three years or less. Cameron was an entrepreneur from day 1. At age 21, he had 14 employees. By 35, he’d help build his first TWO $100 MILLION DOLLAR companies. By the age of 42, Cameron engineered 1-800-GOT-JUNK?’s spectacular growth from $2 Million to $106 Million in revenue, and 3100 employees— and he did that in just six years. His companies landed over 5,200 media placements in that same six years, including coverage on Oprah. Not only does Cameron know how to grow businesses, but his delivery from the stage is second to none— the current publisher of Forbes magazine, Rich Karlgaard, stated “Cameron Herold is THE BEST SPEAKER I’ve ever heard…he hits grand slams”. When Cameron steps off the stage, he doesn’t stop teaching. He is the author of the global best selling business book DOUBLE DOUBLE- in its 7th printing and in multiple translations around the world. Cameron is a top rated international speaker and has been paid to speak in 26 countries. He is also the top-rated lecturer at EO/MIT’s Entrepreneurial Masters Program and a powerful and effective speaker at Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer leadership events around the world. Look for Cameron’s three new business books— on public relations, meetings, vision. All in the TED Bookstore.

Kids have dreams. You can notice traits in kids, that they'll still have 30 years later. Entrepreneurial traits can be noticed & nurtured in the children who have them. We should be looking to raise kids to be entrepreneurs, NOT lawyers.

Culture, Entrepeneurship, Free PR

I've been a Tedster for 11 years now. Recently I gave this talk at TEDx Edmonton http://www.ted.com/talks/cameron_herold_let_s_raise_kids_to_be_entrepreneurs.html and I'd love to present it at the main TED event to inspire our world to think of entrepreneurs as a profession that kids should aspire towards like they currently do with lawyers, doctors, teachers etc.

Intuitively reading situations & people. Teaching entrepreneurs - I've three times been rated the #1 lecturer at the EO Entrepreneurial Masters Program held at MIT's Endicott House, and lectured at it over a dozen times.
