Hyler Bracey

He is past CEO and Chairman of The Atlanta Consulting Group and, for the past 30 years, has been actively involved in transforming some of the world's greatest organizations: UPS, McDonald's, Swiss Air Group, Coors Brewing, Merrill Lynch, AK Steel and other national and international firms. In "retirement" Hyler continues to be a nationally acclaimed consultant, author and public speaker.

A colorful background lends credence to his passion for inspiring others to overcome adversity and achieve their personal dreams and/or company's strategic vision. During his lifetime, Hyler has worked as a tugboat deckhand, owned and operated a cotton-ginning business, served as CEO of a large consulting firm and raced stock cars. Miraculously surviving a 1970 racing accident, Hyler uses his burn experience, the loss of a very valuable exhibition vehicle in a wreck, and the challenges of managing his company during crisis to show others how to see - and capture - the opportunity hidden in adversity.

Dr. Bracey is the author of a number of books and articles on the subject of management and organizational behavior. He co-authored the best-selling book Managing From The Heart and the nationally-acclaimed Winning The Race For Value. He has appeared in over 1000 print publications, over 500 radio broadcasts and dozens of TV programs. His diverse media events range from the CBS Evening News to National Geographic Explorer.
