About the Author

Patricia Fripp is a true American success story... except that she is British. She was born in a small English town and became a hairstylist when she was 15, arriving in San Francisco at the age of 20 with no job, no place to live, and no contacts.

Today, she is a successful entrepreneur, a magazine columnist, and a media personality. She is also a "speakers' speaker," having won every award and designation given by the National Speakers Association and having served as the first woman president of this 4,000 member association.

“Meetings and Conventions” magazine named Patricia Fripp, "One of the most electrifying speakers in North America." She gives approximately 130 presentations a year worldwide for Fortune 500 companies and professional and trade associations. In her spare time she is a major fundraiser for the Leukemia Society.

Patricia Fripp is coauthor, along with Ken Blanchard, Brian Tracy, and other popular speakers, of “Insights into Excellence” and “Speaking Secrets of the Masters.” She is also the star of several bestselling video and audio programs.

"If a young hairdresser from England without a college education can achieve what I've achieved, just imagine what you can do!" –Patricia Fripp

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Help for Public Speakers, January 9, 2005
This review is from: Get What You Want! (Paperback)
In all her offerings she is candid, funny, and brilliant in sharing the secrets of public speaking and becoming a successful entrepreneur, which she learned, not in the long, tedious process of earning an MBA, but as a hair-dresser in San Francisco for fifteen years. She asked pertinent questions as she cut the hair of successful business men and women, and she figured out how to apply them to her own life and dreams. And you can too, as she takes you, step-by-encouraging step into the How To of fulfilling your own dreams. She is currently the first woman President of the 4,000 member National Speakers Association. As the winner of every one of the awards the Association offers, she is designated a "speakers' speaker" and generously shares her tips of the trade in her fascinating books, CD's, speeches and on her website. No public speaker should miss her works, and you'll love her charming British accent.
