Ralph grew up among the marshes and beaches of coastal Georgia before
becoming a commercial pilot and aircraft salesman/sales manager in Alabama.
Along the way, he graduated from Clemson University, where he wrote for "The
Clemson Tiger" newspaper, and where, he says, "Through grit, determination
and superior intelligence, I was able to cram four years of college into
only five years."
Today, Ralph is a full-time professional speaker and award-winning writer.
He writes several regular columns for nationwide trade magazines. "My
columns," he says, "are widely read by my wife." His books, The Truth &
Other Lies and Southern Raised in the Fifties, have sold from Australia to
England and across the U.S.A. Ralph, a CSP (Certified Speaking
Professional), compares flying an airplane to life itself in his uniquely
humorous style.
His speeches and workshops, which have helped
rocket engineers, salespeople, physicians, educators and health
professionals with team building, motivation, customer service and sales,
provide hardworking, bottom-line information that can be put to work in the
real marketplace tomorrow morning. His humorous speeches? Well, like we
said, who are we to argue with Oprah?

It's Clear on Top |
- Perfect for luncheon, banquet, or keynote. Compares flying "On
Top" of the weather to living and working "On Top" of life's problems.
Explosive humor, strong message, mixed to fit your needs. Has
delighted audiences from Alaska to Puerto Rico. (speech)

|
You Can't Do It By
Yourself |
- Personal team building that really works. Valuable for everyone
who needs the cooperation of other people. Used often for managers or
employees, or, perhaps best, both together. Learn the two most
important concepts of motivating others to join, and excel on, your
teams. Hardworking tools you can put to work tomorrow, delivered with
humor that makes the points.

A Goal Is Not A Goal
Unless You Really Plan To Get There! |
- If pilots planned flights the way you plan to reach your goals,
would you fly with them? Learn: To set and reach goals as pilots
prepare and use flight plans; the difference between goals and dreams;
to plan for emergencies and changes. Humorous examples make sure you
remember the clear-cut steps to goal attainment.
(speech or workshop)

Safety Is No Accident! |
- Learn to set and live by standards of safety: the right standards.
Learn the critical difference between standards and goals. Apply to
your workplace the standard-setting methods that have worked so well
in aviation. One major company called this workshop right on target
for their safety managers.

The Least We Can Do! |
- We have standards for OSHA, EPA, EEOC, ad nauseam. But do we have
standards for the customer? It's the least we can do. Learn to set,
implement, measure, maintain and improve upon standards for the most
important person in your business, the customer. Humor nails down
dead-serious methods and techniques that work with real customers.

| "When a meeting planner successfully matches a first-rate
speaker with a receptive, enthusiastic audience, the result is a sense of pride and
satisfaction in a job well done. Your presentations at our recent New Orleans
convention were heart-warming, humorous, and motivational; you left the participants
feeling good about themselves and their role in education - left me patting myself on the
back for having the good sense to choose you! . . . You took the time to join in, reach
out, and truly put us all 'on top'." |

| "You made them think, while at the same time you were
delightfully humorous. And it was motivating. One person said afterwards, 'He
made you want to get up and go to work.' " |
