The master of turning calculated risks into good decisions!

Based in the UK, Caspar Berry is an outstanding motivational speaker who has delivered more than 2,000 speeches and training sessions in over 30 countries to nearly 500 clients including Google, Visa, IBM, Paypal, AUDI, Volvo, Shell, Esso, Microsoft, Sainsbury´s, Tesco, ASDA, Emap, Siemens, Knect 365, PWC, Deloittes, E&Y, KPMG, McDonalds and Redbull. He was awarded the ‘Best New Speaker’ from The Academy of Chief Executives in the UK in 2008.

He uses the metaphor of poker as a vehicle to communicate universally resonant messages around the need for individuals and companies to take risk and seize opportunities. His key messages which address the need to take calculated risks in order to achieve success leave audiences informed, inspired and empowered to take better decisions to achieve their objectives and goals. Story, maths, metaphor and logic are brought together to create a speech that is funny, challenging, thought-provoking and, at its best, transformative.

The fundamentals of risk and decision making cut to the heart of the ways in which we allocate resources, plan our time, do more with less and maximise the returns from all of our investments in life. Formerly and actor and a professional film writer, he took the decision, aged 25, that would dramatically change his life forever, moving to Las Vegas to become a professional poker player for 3 years, pitting his wits against the game's best known players. His experience as an actor, and as entrepreneur in the media industry and as a trainer, schooled him in the fundamental skills of delivery and facilitation which laid the foundations for him to become a professional speaker.
