Charles Garfield Biography

In his keynote speech at a Clinton White House Conference, Charles Garfield began by saying, "My mission is to translate the real lessons of our nation's high achieving organizations and their people into consistent bottom line results."

Dr. Charles Garfield's career is a study in the “how-to's” of high performance. He is co-founding editor (along with Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard) of "Executive Excellence," one of America's most important executive newsletters.

As a strategy advisor to business and nonprofit leaders, Garfield is a sought-after speaker and one of America's most requested presenters. For example, he was invited to address the Leadership of Oklahoma City - after the bombing of the federal building - on the topic of rebounding from adversity.

Garfield's effectiveness as a speaker is enhanced by his direct experience as an executive and team leader in both profit and non-profit sectors—demonstrating the key skills of superior service, quality, and performance. This expertise was honed in two compelling and challenging contexts: The Apollo Eleven moon-landing and Shanti Project.

As founder and executive director of Shanti Project, a leading organization in its field, he championed service excellence for a different set of peak performers: patients and families facing life-threatening illness. His focus on total quality management and results-oriented leadership made Shanti an internationally acclaimed volunteer organization. For his work with Shanti, Garfield was named National Activist of the Year, America's highest award for voluntary public service contributions.

He leveraged his high achievement principles into athletics, authoring the respected "Peak Performance: Mental Training Techniques of the World's Greatest Athletes." Consequently, Garfield was selected by the United States Olympic Committee as a keynote speaker for the Elite Coaches Symposium, catering to the head coaches of our Olympic sports.

Garfield is a Clinical Professor at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco, engaged in addressing complex issues of healthcare leadership and reform.

He serves as CEO of the Charles Garfield Group, a consulting and educational firm specializing in strategies for superior service, quality, and performance. His vision of expanding human performance continues to bring him into frequent contact with leaders across business, healthcare, the nonprofit sector, and government worldwide.
