Albert Mensah: Profile

Albert Mensah, "Prince of Possibilities", leaves a lasting impression everywhere he goes. Speaking from his heart with passion and humor, he relives his story of triumph over adversity, of acting on every opportunity to make his greatest dreams a reality. In so doing he can show you how to wake up your dreams and realize the opportunities of a lifetime.

Albert grew up in Ghana, West Africa, one of the most impoverished nations in the world. He was born in a village where as a child he walked eight miles barefoot twice a day to carry firewood and water back to his family's home, which had no electricity or plumbing.

When Albert was nine, his family moved to the city where Albert saw an American movie and witnessed the fantastic opportunities in this country. Getting to America became his dream, his passion and his goal. He did everything he could from "practically living at the library" to learn everything he could about America, to earning money for stamps to keep in touch with his American pen pals. His friends, aware of his obsession, soon gave him the nickname "States". In 1978 Albert's dream came true when, after writing to 350 U.S. schools, he won a full four-year scholarship to Western Maryland College.

On August 29, 1994, another dream became reality when Albert proudly took the oath of American citizenship. He entered the sales arena and quickly exceeded his sales quota. Within his first year, he was number one in sales, new market penetration and total percentage gain within his company. He soon went on to become a successful business owner himself. Albert's love of being with and in front of people led him to the speaker's platform and a host of awards. In 1999, he won the first runner-up title at the prestigious Toastmasters International World Championship of Public Speaking.

Albert is now a highly sought after, charismatic and talented speaker whose engaging stories inspire audiences to action, both in their personal and professional lives. Because of his own background selling for and owning a business, he understands your company's goal to increase morale and more importantly, productivity. Through his captivating presentation, Albert shows your audience how to recognize opportunities they might otherwise overlook, even seek out opportunities in change, challenges and other obstacles, their "fear snakes", then develop an action plan to act on those opportunities today.
