Everybody has a story. Bill Graham has spent his career helping people find powerful ways to tell their stories: in theatres, on television, in the classroom, and in the boardroom. In the world of communications, Bill has done a wide variety of work including keynotes, workshops, oral presentations and private coaching. He helps individuals and groups take their complicated stories, streamline them, and then powerfully deliver them. He began his communications work with Arch Lustberg, one of the great gurus in the world of communications and author of "How to Sell Yourself." Today, he conducts group seminars, trains corporate executives and sales teams, writes non-profit grants, coaches school faculties. He has also trained bankers, boards of directors, and architects. Bill spent 15 years as a theatre director and producer in the Washington, DC area. There, he learned the craft of communicating persuasive ideas, not just in front of theatre audiences, but also before planning boards, county councils, and the different branches of the state legislature. Early in his career, he realized that people buy tickets when you tell them a good, compelling story. He has taught acting at numerous colleges, universities, and most recently at the famed Stella Adler Conservatory. His unique instruction focuses actors, by helping them become more powerful and likeable in front of an audience. For more than a decade, he served as Director of Creative Affairs for Procter & Gamble Productions, producers of the longest running soap operas in the history of entertainment. He created teams, developed writers, and helped producers make their complicated soap opera stories simple and memorable. Headwriters that he developed, and their writing teams, have won Emmy Awards for Best Writing 5 of the last 7 years. Bill is an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University teaching grad courses in Communication Ethics, Public Relations, and Effective Presentations. He teaches in the Sports Management Department of George Mason University. He is a regular guest lecturer at Johns Hopkins University's Technical Management program, and he is a member of the faculty for the US Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Organization Management. He lives with his wife and three daughters in Montclair, NJ
