Alton J. Roberts

weaves his compelling life story into the fabric of our daily lives. The thread is forever strengthened, touting why you can't afford to be complacent and to aim high, achieve and actively make an impact on the world. Al Roberts never tires of using his energies to transform the world, well-beyond the podium and public appearances, meshing traditional and social media to empower his audiences. Al Roberts motivates audiences to step beyond their limitations and get what they really want. Over the past decade, Al has expanded his role from entrepreneur to speaker, creating the kind of workshop learning experience that got him committed to personal-and-professional development many years earlier. His warmth and commitment to positive impact have transformed ordinary people into extraordinary achievers by using his own life, and his in-depth study of others' challenges, to build an understanding of what works, what doesn't work, and why. A stumbling block early in life was his belief that he was inferior because he grew up poor and without a father present in his life. He was told by those that he looked up to that he'd never amount to anything. However, he used determination, persistence and belief in his ability to go beyond his childhood disappointments to unleash a course of amazing achievements including college honors, being honored by the City of Miami for public service, developing a multi-million-dollar real estate portfolio, and building several successful businesses. Al Roberts is committed to motivating and training today's generation to be achievers and leaders as he introduces new audiences to his talks on Getting What You Want.
