Keynote Speaker - Ron Archer

 
 

Ron Archer has an amazing, twenty-year professional career as a Pastor and is now Bishop of over 25 churches. He is a best-selling author, an award-winning keynote speaker and a sought after international business strategist.

Having been raised in the inner city of Cleveland, Ohio, Ron Archer was taught by his single mother that with faith in God, a good education and lots of hard work, the American Dream could be achieved by anyone. She taught Ron that it is not where you begin in life, but it is where you believe you can go if you are willing to be a climber and not a quitter.

As a young student, Ron Archer had to overcome a learning disability and a severe stuttering disorder. The help of a caring fourth grade teacher and a dedicated mother enabled Ron to overcome both. His teacher taught him that anything worth doing in life is worth doing poorly at first until you learn to master it, and master it Ron did, graduating with honors from both high school and college.

Early in his professional career Ron Archer served as Director of Production Improvement for a Fortune 500 Company and was responsible for the design and the implementation of the self-directing work team system and the at-risk compensation performance production system for fifty manufacturing plants throughout America and Canada.

These challenging successes lead to Ron's first book, Ron Archer On Teams, published by McGraw Hill, which became an industry best seller that changed the course of his professional career.

After ten years in corporate America, Ron Archer became the CEO of a non profit organization, earned his PhD and became the host of a national television program on the Business Technology Network and was invited to join the prestigious Lessons in Leadership Consortium with Tom Peters, Ken Blanchard and Stephen Covey.

Ron serves as a leadership consultant to Four Star General B.Bell, Supreme Commander U.S. Army Europe and 7th Army, National Football League Players and Coaches, Fortune 500 Companies and Pastors throughput the world.

Ron Archer has been honored with the Dr. Martin Luther King Leadership Award for his work developing third world leaders and his video training series, Peak Performance under Peak Pressure was awarded a "Telly" for best leadership program of the year.

Ron has a passion for helping young people develop as successful individuals. He has coached little league football for fifteen years and volunteers for the Future Farmers of America, Inroads and the Upward Bound program. Ron Archer is Pastor of the Chapel of the Palm Beaches.
