Stress Management Expert & Author; Top 10 Toastmasters World Championship Finalist; IT Business Information Leader
Phil Barth Biography
Phil Barth is a keynote speaker, author, and stress management expert whose career has been shaped by both personal adversity and professional achievement. Barth's professional journey spans more than 30 years in IT business information management, a career he retired from to dedicate himself fully to public speaking. He reached the top 10 in the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking and later returned to the top 20, establishing himself as a skilled communicator in the field. For more than 20 years, Barth has spoken to audiences worldwide on goal achievement and stress management.
A turning point in Barth's life and career occurred after he experienced a heart attack, prompting him to help others navigate stress effectively. He describes that moment as "The Heart Attack That Saved My Life," noting that for his employer it resulted in significant lost productivity, insurance claims, and an extended absence. This experience led Barth to study the causes of stress and effective management strategies. Following his doctor's advice, he changed his diet, increased his physical activity, and began writing a daily list of positive events. This practice became the foundation for his book, "Great Things Happen Every Day," which focuses on finding joy and managing stress.
Through his keynote, "Fry Your Chickens!," Barth helps audiences lower stress, perform under pressure, and adopt practical tools for stress management, using real stories, humor, and memorable analogies. His message is grounded in emotional intelligence, behavioral science, and the belief that genuine human connection is essential for managing stress. Barth's framework, the Three Ls of Stress Management, centers on laughter and love, emphasizing the importance of humor for resilience and relationships for mental fitness.
Barth has spoken at conferences across the globe, including international events such as a business analysis conference in Prague. A former contestant on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," where he won $32,000, Barth delivers memorable and practical keynotes to corporate teams, educators, and international conference audiences, sharing insights on stress management, personal development, and workplace wellness.

HEARTFELT HUMOR: THE FUNNY SIDE OF STRESS MANAGEMENT AND HEART HEALTH
A program for people who are tired of all the bad news.
On August 5, 2015 I took a surprise visit to the cardiac wing of Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati. I suffered what was labeled a "small" heart attack. I remember thinking "if this is small I’d hate to see medium".
Per the advice of my Doctor I changed my diet, started exercising more and decided to work on controlling stress. This program is about stress control. For the past four years I have written a daily list: Great things that happened today. Each day I celebrate the great things that happened. Since I started this journey I’ve met some fascinating people, discovered new recipes and celebrated life. And I’ve laughed a lot. If you attend this program you will, too.

FRY YOUR CHICKENS!
It is a flock of chickens. Chickens like fear, negativity and self doubt. Every time I’ve wanted to do something out of my comfort zone, I had to fry a chicken. As a result of frying chickens.
I won $32,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I got that first date with the woman who became my wife. I was even able to ride a roller coaster with my son for two minutes without throwing up. It would have been perfect… if only the roller coaster ride hadn’t been 2:20.
You will laugh for an hour. You will identify the one chicken that you need to fry and the steps that you will take toward making a dream come true and living a life you love.
