Dean M. Brenner is a renowned expert in persuasive speech who has unlocked the secret formula for communication success in his forthcoming book, Move the World: Persuade Your Audience, Change Minds, and Achieve Your Goals. In his book, Brenner provides a step-by-step process for people who seek to persuade an audience, regardless of speaking experience, job title or background. Brenner’s methodology is already giving several of the world’s leading Fortune 500 organizations and financial firms, including United Technologies Corporation, UBS Financial Services and Franklin Templeton, significant competitive advantage.

Brenner’s consulting firm, The Latimer Group, focuses on helping clients create powerful and persuasive verbal communication. In turn, clients are able to lead more effectively, sell more successfully and raise more capital by developing persuasive public speaking, presentation and media skills.

Prior to founding The Latimer Group, Brenner served as an equity money manager with UBS PaineWebber in Hartford, CT for five years, co-managing nearly $700 million in private client assets.

In addition to his work with The Latimer Group, Brenner is currently serving his second four-year term as the Chairman of the United States Olympic Sailing Program. In this role, Brenner leads the athletes, coaches, staff and volunteers training for the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in London, England. Under Dean’s leadership, the 2008 Olympic Sailing Team returned home from Beijing, China with gold and silver medals. Since taking on this challenge, he has led a turnaround of US Olympic Sailing that includes a nearly 300 percent increase in its funded budget over the last four years. Brenner is a six-time national sailing champion, was a member of the US Sailing Team for three years and finished second at the 2000 US Olympic Trials. During his six-year campaign for the Olympic Team, Brenner spearheaded a fundraising effort that netted nearly $1 million in support for his team.

Brenner’s experiences as an Olympic-caliber athlete and as Chairman of the Olympic Sailing Program provide him with a wealth of sailing anecdotes and illustrative stories that apply to the modern professional world. He communicates these experiences in everything he does: through Move the World, during coaching and training sessions with clients and in every speech or presentation he delivers.
