This gentle giant brings a huge amount of energy to every endeavor in which he participates. Not only is he 6 '6 in height but his energy fills every room he enters. His humorous direct approach to life's tough issues makes even the gloomiest person brighten their outlook on life. His interactive keynote talk on communication or rather commYOUnication as he refers to it, is an introspective look at how we communicate with our world and ourselves. Riley shifts the preconceived ideas of internal communication in a unique, simple to use way.
At the age of 32 Garth suffered a spinal cord injury that was so severe he had to learn to walk again. Then because of this injury and his drive to get his life back, he acquired an autoimmune disease sidelining him seven years later. His walk in life because of these experiences reflects understandings and insights he now shares with his audiences and clients.
Garth comes from a long line of entrepreneurs and is one himself. His vast experience in the corporate and private world gives him a perspective on life that is truly educational and entertaining.
