Bill Wooditch Biography

Bill Wooditch built a multi-million-dollar company from the philosophy: “To receive value, you first have to give value.” For over 25 years, he has created and implemented proven concepts, structures, and narratives that support leadership development. He is a results-based speaker who inspires the quest for innovation, enrichment, and self-fulfillment in personal and professional undertakings.

Wooditch’s second book, “Fail More: Embrace, Learn, and Adapt to Failure As a Way to Success” provides the insights and tools to take active, strategic measures to turn the sting of failure into the reward of growth. It reveals the setbacks that are both inevitable and valuable and delivers practical ways of quickly moving past self-judgment and -recrimination. By embracing failure, not just “getting past it,” you will fly past your competition, whether you’re building a startup, advancing in your career, or improving your personal life.

His bestselling book, “Always Forward!”, has been called “a game plan for life” by NBC’s Tracy Forner. His book is a product of the hard-won experience he earned as the top salesperson at a Fortune 500 company and, later, as the top producer for two consecutive years at the 6th largest insurance brokerage firm in the world.

Wooditch uses his experiences and insight to inspire individuals to pursue personal development and professional success with single-minded fervor, providing valuable guidance in leadership, sales, and becoming a game-changer in your own right.

Bill Wooditch Speaking Topics

  • You Are the CEO of "The Franchise of YOU!"

    You are going to make your fate and generate your luck by activity, knowledge, people skills, and Colgate smile.

    If you earn a paycheck, welcome to the world of entrepreneurs, my friends, because you are in business for yourself. You work for yourself, think about it. There is no way around or out of this arrangement. You work for your freedom, your security, or your illusion of your security, your necessities, your luxuries, and all that which emanates from the business of you.

    Know that you work for yourself. Every email you type, every letter you write, every conversation you have, every thought that crosses your mind and every action that emanates from that thought, paints and frames you as not only a brand but as a singular corporation. It is your future; treat it with respect in the present.

  • The Four Pillars of Sales Excellence

    When you leave a room, do you leave a void? Are you missed? Do people feel and feed off of your energy? When you’re out of the room, do they wish you were back in the room? You’ll know when you leave a void when the wake of your presence is missed. How? They bring you back for more – they want to connect again.

    Your personal platform is supported by Four Pillars of Energy™ – the intellectual (your knowledge, thoughts and mindset; the engines that drive), the spiritual (where your purpose emanates; where your “why” is found, the overarching belief in something bigger than you), the emotional (the fuel for your purpose; the lived extension of your empathy), and the physical (the vessel that imports and exports the concepts that allow you to physically feel and live life to the fullest).

    This has consistently been one of my most requested presentations; it is a passionate and dynamic engagement with the audience that brings the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual pillars to life. This talk will unveil the power of each pillar. You bring this power with you to each and every engagement in the subset of life that is business.
