Barry’s book, Filling the Glass has been honored as “[One of] The Seven Essential Popular Business Books” by Today’s Librarian magazine. His other books include, No Lie: Truth Is the Ultimate Sales Tool, The Prentice Hall Marketing Yearbook, the niche book, Getting the Most from Your Yellow Pages Advertising and the mini-cult classic novel, Legend.
Barry himself has appeared on the Today Show, NBC Nightly News, CBNC and hundreds of television and radio stations. He’s frequently featured in publications like USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the London Times, Business Week and—what he insists is his personal favorite—Funeral Services Insider.
Other Programs & Highlights
His topics include:1. Filling the Glass: Real World Tactics and Reality-Based Motivation for Increasing Productivity AND Job Satisfaction. Filling the Glass is the antidote to sessions that are entertaining but full of “let’s all think happy thoughts and everything will be wonderful” fluff. It’s chock full of nuts and bolts content. Yet it’s extremely entertaining and real-world motivational, even inspirational. Perfect for both the most cynical veteran AND the most starry-eyed (or the most discouraged) novice.
· Jerry Colangelo, former owner of the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks, says "Packed with useful, practical advice. . . entertaining and frequently laugh out loud funny."
· MPI's (Meeting Professionals International's) The Meeting Planner says, "Often funny, occasionally blunt, always honest . . . Maher helps us fill our own glass through a skillful mix of case studies, tips, tactics and hard headed, reality-based inspiration."
· Trade Show Ideas writes, "Barry Maher finishes his keynote and the audience comes to its feet applauding. Clearly they enjoyed the speaker's every word. The conference and trade show are off to a perfect start."
