Speakers List

This page gives information on how to contact people who have been actively involved in projects promoting The 4Way Test both inside their own community and in other communities literally around the globe. These people are accomplished educators, corporate executives, entertainers and community leaders who use The Test everyday.

The people listed here and their co-workers could be great resources to complement your own efforts.

We have tried to include links to helpful websites along with their contact information. All speakers are presented in alphabetical order.

We cannot take responsibility for those who do disappoint, however we would like to receive your comments on any speaker. They come recommended to us, but as always you are responsible for your own choices, so do your own due diligence. Some charge, some do not and some ask only that their expenses be reimbursed when extensive travel is required. The area in which they are available to speak varies with their own schedules and commitments.
