Eric Romero, PhD
Are you tired of the same old politically correct, candy coating, everyone is so special consultants and motivational speakers? I am the complete opposite. I tell it like it is, with no B.S. ! I say the things that everyone is thinking, but no one wants to talk about...the important stuff! I am the world’s only Reality Speaker, as opposed to all the motivational speakers out there! If you are looking for a suit who uses the latest cute catch phrases, I ain’t your guy. However, if you want total unedited honesty and a revolutionary perspective on leadership, strategy, innovation and competitive advantage, I am your professional speaker or unconventional leadership consultant. I have helped thousands of people around the world become better leaders for over 15 years. I have presented my ideas in the United States, Brazil, France, Peru, Thailand, Portugal, Mexico, India, Switzerland, China, Japan, Estonia, Sweden, Puerto Rico, and Germany. I have years of practical managerial experience in several industries and with the U.S. government. I earned a PhD in Management from New Mexico State University, published over 35 articles and a book, Compete Outside the Box: The Unconventional Way to Beat the Competition. However, I do not fit the stereotype of a stuffy intellectual. Originally from New York City, my presentations are delivered with a sense of humor, 100% unedited honesty and street smarts! I have lived in Japan and Germany. I am fluent in Spanish and speak basic German. My interests are comedy, photography, travel, culture, science, learning and gardening. I do what I think is right, not what everyone else is doing. I don’t do anything to impress people. I wear jeans, t-shirts and sneakers and drive an old truck...and I like it! My phone is not smart, I don’t text and I still use a paper organizer. I am an unconventional thinker who simplifies the complex, will change your worldview and help you become an unconventional leader!
