Biography

Considered one of the most dynamic, "high octane" speakers in America. Harvey Alston has been a full-time speaker since 1989. He has spoken to millions of people throughout the United States who have benefited not only from his knowledge, but also from the wisdom that he brings to the finish line.

Harvey Alston's unforgettable words of individual responsibility for achievement have improved spirits, spurred growth, and changed lives. His powerful, soul-searching presentations uplift audiences to a higher standard, and to a level where they strive only for the best. He believes in solitary achievement, shared accomplishment, and the dignity of human beings.

As one of the most in-demand speakers in America, Mr. Alston's career has spanned positions from head football coach of Columbus East High School in Ohio in 1968, to assistant director of student financial aid at the university level. As an educator he's taught English, biology, health, life sciences and math curricula. Over the years, he has received recognition and awards from such diverse groups and organizations as the Ohio House of Representatives as one of Ohio's Finest Citizens, the City of Columbus declared a Harvey Alston Day, and he was commissioned a Kentucky Colonel, and has received numerous national recognitions and awards. However, none has more impact than the response from those individuals whose lives have been dramatically changed.

People walk away from Harvey Alston's presentations knowing they have just heard someone who "has been around the track a few times" and one who shares it in a way that people do not forget. He has the courage it takes to remind people that life is only what they make it, that self-respect does not come with the job, but is brought to the job by people who do the best they can do, with whatever work is available to them.

Harvey Alston's enterprise is called Best Inc., based on his philosophy and the book titled Be the Best. Celebrating his years as a professional speaker, his goal is to provide the Developing Leadership Workbook to illustrate the importance of clarifying goals, practicing the small efforts necessary for success, and accepting responsibilities for one's destiny. He is a member of the National Speakers Association and serves as an advisor to many civic boards, panels, and commissions.
