Caspar Berry started his career as the lead in the first series of Byker Grove on BBC1 alongside Ant and Dec. 

He went on to read Economics and Anthropology at Cambridge and - after setting his sights on becoming a professional film writer - had his first screenplay produced by Film Four whilst still in his final year. 

By the time he was 23 Caspar was writing for Miramax and Columbia Tri Star. Then at 25, he took the decision that would dramatically change his life: he moved to Las Vegas and became a professional poker player!

Caspar played poker professionally for most of the next 3 years of his life during which time he made a good living pitting his wits against the game's best known players. Then, in 2002, Caspar returned to the UK,  co-founding Twenty First Century Media and building it into the fastest growing audio visual media company in the North East of England, before selling it in 2008 to Bob Geldof's media giant, Ten Alps.

It was while still at the helm of twenty first century media that he began his career as a speaker and catalyst for new thinking within business about risk-taking and decision-making. 

In 2005 he become a trainer for a great company called The Mind Gym who schooled him in the fundamental skills of delivery and facilitation before going it alone to become one of the best known business speakers in the UK. 

He has now been a professional motivational and keynote speaker for almost a decade, during which time he has delivered well over a 1000 speeches for over 300 great companies around the world, including IBM, Google, Siemens, Ernst and Young and Orange.

His key messages around the need to embrace uncertainty and take calculated risk in order to get the edge and achieve success are timeless and non-sector specific making them perfect for any training day or conference where new ideas are being discussed or debated. He is a catalyst for change and his famously upbeat, energetic style is always inspirational.
