Speaker bio:
Conor Cunneen – IrishmanSpeaks is happily exiled in Naperville where he says the Guinness is good – the natives are friendly and he has been force fed more corned beef and green beer than he ever had in Ireland.
He has a deep and abiding passion for those in job search and as an Irishman is proud to be a recipient of the President’s Gold Medal for Volunteer Service for the work he does with the unemployed from President Obama. As a business speaker, his clients range from Harley-Davidson to Helsinki, from Memphis to Madrid.
Conor is a multiple author (including two books on Mark Twain) and a Chicago Humorous Speaker of the Year so we can expect laughter and learning.
