Currently he is the Senior Trainer world-wide for Junior Chamber International, the community leadership organisation with more than, 400,000 members in 100 nations.

An avid sportsman, one of New Zealand's leading rugby referees, writer, motivator, traveller, youth Advisor, champion of free enterprise and community volunteer work, Bill Potter will share his ideas on how we can turn the tide against the gloomy predictions for our economy and way of life. His lively presentations have a reputation for creating "you-could-hear-a-pin-drop" audiences. His address is a must if you are serious about providing the best service for your customers.

His new book titled "Mind Your Own Damn Business" has been described as "New Zealand's Own Chicken Soup for the Soul".

Bill's business articles are regularly published in many New Zealand and international papers, magazines and journals and he is a regular contributor to the business journal "Business to Business".

After a session with Bill Potter your company will never be the same, things that used to nag you won't, and seeing what to do and how to do it becomes just a little easier. Opening or closing a conference on the right note, as MC or group facilitator Bill Potter is super.
