Todd Buchholz

"Todd Buchholz was just amazing. His energy, effervescence and educational material was just what we needed to kick-off the Reinsurance Conference. He kept the audience wide-eyed for 30 minutes straight. Todd never used a single note and jam-packed us with information. I likened him to un-corking a bottle of champagne and letting the good times roll. Todd was a fountain of insightful information. All that from an economist!"

-Ellen S. Hattenbach, PricewaterhouseCoopers

Todd Buchholz Speech Topics

Election 2012 -- What’s at Stake?

Todd Buchholz is one of America’s foremost intuitive economists. His editorials in the Wall Street Journal and commentaries on PBS correctly forecasted the 2001 slowdown in the U.S., the 2008 pop in commodity prices, and the downgrade of the U.S. debt rating. In this presentation he offers sound guidance and insights into the upcoming 2012 election. More important than the question Who will win? Buchholz digs deeper to answer the broader question, What’s at stake?

Rush: Why You Need and Love the Rat Race

Todd Buchholz, author of the classic New Ideas from Dead Economists and New Ideas from Dead Ceos, reveals why we need competition to keep us going and going strong. Weaving in everything from neuroeconomics to evolutionary biology to renaissance art to General Motors, Buchholz will convince you that the race to compete has not only made us taller and smarter, it’s what we love and need. In his provocative presentation, Buchholz explains why laid-back firms get entangled in their own red-tape and why contented ceos end up driving their employees to bankruptcy court. While Buchholz argues that businesses need internal competition, he shows how to inspire creative competition, rather than a shark-infested culture. This is a cutting edge presentation that defies and shreds conventional wisdom.
