Jeff Tobe, CSP
Jeff Tobe was recently selected one of the top 15 speakers in North America by readers of Convention and Meetings Magazine. A Certified Speaking Professional, Tobe has also been dubbed by Insider Magazine as the "The Guru of Creativity."
He presents more than 100 programs each year to organizations that need to stay ahead of their marketplace. His background as an award-winning entrepreneur has made him the leading authority in creativity-in-business. Formerly, Jeff owned his own promotions and marketing agency and during his last three years in that business, won five International Golden Pyramid Awards for creativity in promotions.
Mr. Tobe is the Primary Colorer at Coloring Outside the Lines in Pittsburgh, PA. He is one of only 350 speakers worldwide to hold the earned designation of Certified Speaking Professional, the highest accreditation of the National Speakers Association.
Mr. Tobe believes in the power of creativity to manage the change that is inevitable with innovation and to look at what one does from an entirely new perspective. He helps participants not only to cope with transition, but to creatively embrace and thrive from it. Offering techniques to getting "internal" and "external" clients to buy into and thrive from change, he teaches organizations that to grow, they must first implement strategies that have a fresh approach.
He is the author of three best selling books, Coloring Outside the Lines: Business Thoughts on Creativity, Marketing and Sales, Success is a Decision of the Mind and The Communication Coach.
