Welcome to the web site of the late Brian Woolf.

Brian has three major interests, as indicated by the menu buttons above: More can be learned by clicking on the relevant subjects above.

The Speaker's Toolbox - Free Download Today!
It's truly a pleasure to announce that, in the Books by Brian section, you can now download free a PDF copy of Brian's book, The Speaker's Toolbox. First published in 2016, the principles and lessons are so timeless that there have been no revisions or updates since - in fact, many have described it as my "ingredients" book for speakers. We hope you'll enjoy learning about the best opening and attention-grabbing techniques, how to truly speak from your heart, how to learn from flaws and failures, how to involve all five senses in your speeches, the benefits of practice and feedback, the six primary emotions, using facial expressions, and most important of all, getting out there and enjoying yourself and passing it on to your audience!

Brian, a New Zealander by birth, spent most of his business life in retailing: finance, operations, loyalty, marketing, and management. First in NZ and then, after earning an MBA at the Harvard Business School, in the US with regular involvement in Europe, Japan, and Australia. Earlier, at Auckland University, NZ, he earned an M.Com. (in Economics) and a (NZ) CPA.
His three major work experiences are Deputy Managing Director of Progressive Enterprises/Foodtown (NZ); Chief Financial Officer of Food Lion (USA); and CEO of Retail Strategy Center (USA).
Over his illustrious career he wrote 7 books and many articles, sharing what he learned. His keen interest in the art of connection and communication was rewarded in 2003 when he was selected as one of Toastmasters Ten Best Global Speakers.
