Bart Berkey Speaker Biography
Formerly a Ritz-Carlton Global Executive, Bart now shares his observations and experiences on human excellence and differentiation from the past 32 years in order to help improve and enhance behaviors for individuals and for organizations.
As a motivational storyteller, he shares real life stories through "Messages That Matter" that provide applicable takeaways and actionable ideas. Recognized as "The Top Extraordinary Minds in Sales & Marketing", he also is a best-selling author whose book resides in the top 1% of sales on Amazon.
Bart grew up in Pittsburgh, graduated from Penn State University, and has spent the past 30 years helping to provide inspiration and leadership for others. He is the Founder and CEO of Most People Don't, LLC, a Motivational Storytelling and Sales Training Company dedicated to encouraging individuals to "do" when "Most People Don't".
Bart has held numerous global executive roles in the hospitality industry, including Hyatt Hotels and StarCite, in addition to leading the sales efforts for several Convention and Visitor Bureaus.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company has also benefited from his talents as he served in several executive roles including their inaugural Sales & Marketing recruiter, selecting "the best of the best", to then leading their Eastern Region's Global Sales Team representing all 100 luxury Ritz-Carlton hotels. He recently concluded an expanded role leading another team to sell 450 luxury properties across the globe (including Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, W Hotels, and EDITION).

You will be able to accomplish extraordinary things as a result from applying his message!
