Ron's speaking career actually began while he studied theatre at Michigan State University and later worked in a theatre group -Suitcase Theatre- that toured the U.S. and Europe. Suitcase Theatre, a multi-cultural, secular theatre company, was inspired by and used several of the works of Langston Hughes. Suitcase Theatre's founder Powell Lindsay, a Broadway actor and friend of Langston Hughes, mentored Price and gave him the opportunity to develop his skills as a director.
In 1971, Price helped develop a street ministry in Michigan that reached out with food and counseling to street kids, drug addicts and prostitutes. When the ministry was shut down by urban renewal, Price went to work in his father's tire business. Eventually, Price became part owner of his father's business and developed a positive corporate culture and community among the employees of the growing company.
Before founding Price Associates, Ron joined the AIM Companies and became president of the company, directing the strategic planning, marketing, compensation and incentive planning, field training and operations. During Ron's 11 years at AIM, he built and supported a staff and sales force that tripled the size of the company and expanded into 8 new countries.
A member of the National Speakers Association, Ron has traveled more than one million miles, giving more than 1,000 speeches in 12 countries. Ron's presentations are focused and designed to help enhance individual and organizational effectiveness, profitability and growth.
"Ron's value as a consultant and speaker is enhanced by the fact that he has 'been there, done that.' He has built an international company, trained and developed hundreds of successful leaders, and has a breadth of experience that is treasured and unique."
-- Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, winner of the prestigious "Cavette Award" by the National Speakers Association
