Ty Howard
The Green & Growing Speaker in the Spotlight Interview with Chris Livingston
1) What inspired you to become a professional speaker?
I have a passion for teaching and speaking. Speaking not only gives me the platform to teach and educate people but it allows me to interact with many different people all at the same time.
2) At the present time, what's the song and music artist you enjoy listening to most?
I like all types of music, from classical music to rock and roll, so depending on what mood there's no telling what would be on my radio. One of my favorite artist is Lenny Kravitz and the song "Are You Gonna Go My Way." This song gets me fired up and energized.
3) What is the title and author's name of the last book you read cover-to-cover? What two things did you enjoy most about this book?
I actually just finished the book last week by Napoleon Hill The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons. The book is actually over 1700 pages long. When I started reading it, I looked at the book and wondered how the heck am I ever going to finish this thing. I just started reading and the next thing I knew I was finished. It was exciting and satisfying for me to actually complete a huge book like that because it was definitely the biggest book I've ever read.
The second thing I enjoyed about the book is that it was written back in the early 1900's, and the information is actually the foundation for a lot of the things we hear speakers, trainers, and personal development gurus talk about today. I enjoyed the history behind it and being able to see that things people struggled with back in the 1930's is pretty much the same things people struggle with today and the solution is relatively the same today as it was then.
4) What motivates you to strive to get the most out of every day?
My wife is the biggest motivator in my life. She truly believes in me and everything I do. I actually enjoy getting things done so I can share with her where I am on a project. We discuss it and tweak it so I can perfect it and make it better. I really enjoy just being busy.
5) What is your ultimate goal for a client and their audience when a client has hired you to speak?
When I work with a client, my goal is to always over deliver. I want to make sure that the audience walks away with enough substantive information that they can implement immediately to make the changes they need in their organization or life, for improvements and success. I want the meeting planner or conference organizer to leave feeling that they know they made the right decision by hiring and working with me.
