David Leonhardt is The Happy Guy

Why is this man smiling?
Because he is The Happy Guy.
The banner above says that I'm "The Happy Guy", but I am actually many guys. Here are just a few of them:
The Funny Guy. I swear I don't do it on purpose, but somehow the funny lines come out. My audiences like that. So do readers of The Happy Guy humor column. And that brings me happiness.
The Speaker Guy. In addition to energizing your conference, I train others in how to improve their presentation skills. (Wouldn't that make a great topic for your next conference?) I earned the top "Distinguished Toastmaster" designation in 2001. My speeches have also been published in "Vital Speeches of the Day" and "Great Canadian Speeches"
The Consumer Advocate Guy. After a decade and a half as the spokesman for CAA Ontario (an affiliate of the American Automobile Association), I have been called Canada's highest profile consumer advocate.

The Happy Guy lobbies the Ministers of Transportation (left) and Finance (right) and ends up as "The Virtual Happy Guy" larger than life with the Minister of Citizenship (center).

The Media Guy. As a visible and vocal consumer advocate, I've picked up a thing or two about getting good media coverage. Some years I've conducted over 600 media interviews. There's another great topic for your next conference. (See also my special report Get in the News! to improve your media relations.)
The Writer/Author Guy. You may have already read my happiness self-help book Climb your Stairway to Heaven: the 9 habits of maximum happiness, so you know how creative I can be. (If you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for?)
The Book Review Guy.I love to read, and everybody I know will tell you I'm opinionated, so ... I review for Library Journal, and you can find my reviews posted at various sites on the Internet.
The Nature Lover Guy. That's why I moved out to the country to raise the family. Ah, the sound of the birds. The sight of the lightning bugs. Camping. Canoeing. Sharing my lunch with wildlife. This is the life.
The Family Guy. Did I mention how much I adore my wife, Chantal? And Little Lady, two-and-a-half-year-old Chantalyne? And Little Sister, Lauralee? Well, I do. A lot.
But most of all, I am The Happy Guy, and my mission is to spread joy and happiness far and near (which you may have noticed is the main banner on my Home page, as well as one of the nine habits of maximum happiness in my book). That's my favorite topic, and I would love to share it with participants in your next conference or special event.
