Bruno Wiskel, "The Prosperous Farmer"
Motivational Speaker For Agriculture

Described by conference organizers as "wildly entertaining" and "hit of the evening" Bruno's presentations combine knee slapping humour with real life knowledge as an agricultural entrepreneur will have the crowd alternately howling with laughter and crying in their coffee.

Bruno Wiskel is the presenter of 8 agricultural related courses, the author of four books including "The Emperor's New Climate - Debunking the Myths of Global Warming," as well as more than a dozen published articles and technical papers. Bruno Wiskel shares his experience, strength, and hope with the farming community in a cornucopia of images and poignant anecdotes showing one and all the true "Joy of Farming". Bruno has spoken at numerous functions and has a long list of positive references.

Personal leadership also means taking charge of your fears and actions.

Last year I rappelled down a 27 story hotel in Edmonton, Alberta in support of Easter Seals. I was able to raise $3202 for this very worthy organization and spoke to those who attended our celebration that evening.

I am committed to doing it again this year on Monday, Sept. 8th, 2008. Gulp!

I would love your help as I challenge my fear of heights to help disabled adults and children enjoy a better quality of life.

You can safely donate here and thanks for your support.
