Phil Gerbyshak Biography

Phil Gerbyshak is a speaker, author, educator, and business leader whose work sits at the intersection of happiness, leadership, sales, and technology. His programs help audiences reduce burnout, strengthen culture, modernize the way they sell and lead, and turn ideas into practical action. Gerbyshak currently teaches Software & Programming at Colerain High School in Ohio, and his public speaker profiles describe his expertise across sales, leadership, consulting, happiness, and technology.

Before stepping into the high school classroom full time, Gerbyshak built a career that began with selling high-speed internet in the dial-up era and expanded into brokerage, software sales, consulting, coaching, and leadership roles across sales, IT, and marketing teams. That broad real-world background gives Gerbyshak unusual range as a speaker, allowing him to connect with educators, leaders, HR professionals, business owners, and sales teams alike. According to his official bio, Gerbyshak has written more than 3,000 articles, has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor’s Business Daily, Inc., and other major outlets, and has appeared on the covers of Speaker Magazine, Marketing Media and Money, and Social Selling Made Easy.

Gerbyshak is the bestselling author of "Zero Dollar Consultancy" and the author of "Slow Happiness," due out in late 2026. His publicly documented distinctions include the National Speakers Association Wisconsin Rising Star Award in 2013, the National Speakers Association Central Florida Chapter Member of the Year award in 2017, and the NSA Central Florida President’s Outstanding Service Award in 2018. Gerbyshak also served as President of NSA Central Florida in 2020–2021 and holds the Certified Virtual Presenter designation. His speaking materials consistently emphasize an energetic, practical, action-focused style that helps audiences leave not just inspired, but equipped to do something with what they’ve learned.

Phil Gerbyshak Speaking Topics

  • The Happiness Practices

    Simple, practical ways to create more happiness, connection, and resilience at work and in life

    Happiness is not luck. It is not fluff. And it is definitely not something reserved for people who have easier jobs, lighter schedules, or fewer responsibilities. Happiness is something we can practice.

    In The Happiness Practices, Phil Gerbyshak helps audiences discover that happiness is less about chasing big moments and more about building small, repeatable practices that help us feel more grounded, connected, encouraged, and alive in the middle of real life. This program is built for busy humans who want more joy and less burnout without adding one more exhausting thing to their to-do list.

    With humor, heart, and practical insight, Phil shares simple ways to create more energy, strengthen relationships, notice what is good, and bounce back faster when life gets heavy. Rather than offering vague inspiration that fades by the next morning, Phil gives audiences real practices they can use right away, whether at work, at home, or anywhere in between.

    Participants will learn how to:

    • recognize the small moments that make life feel fuller

    • create habits that support happiness on purpose

    • reduce burnout by changing their pace and attention

    • build stronger human connection in everyday interactions

    • become more resilient when disappointment, stress, or setbacks show up

    • make happiness more practical, personal, and sustainable

    This is not about pretending everything is fine. It is not about forced positivity or smiling through hard things. It is about learning how to notice more good, create more meaning, and practice the kinds of small actions that make a big difference over time.

    Phil’s message is especially valuable for teams and organizations that want to improve morale, deepen engagement, and remind people that happiness and high performance do not have to be enemies. In fact, when people feel more connected, appreciated, and energized, they tend to do better work and enjoy life more along the way.

    The Happiness Practices is ideal for conferences, leadership events, employee wellness initiatives, schools, associations, and teams looking for a program that is encouraging, memorable, and immediately useful.

    Audiences leave with more than a feel-good moment. They leave with practices they can actually use.
