October. 1, 2013 – Vigor-Events and ALGAS event presented the international bestselling author & motivational speaker George Walther to Kuwait for his third time in Kuwait LIVE Inspirational seminar, “Life is Far Too Short — What Are We Waiting For?!”
George Walther spans the globe in both his professional and his personal life.  For 33 years, he has been presenting keynotes and workshops for businesses ranging from Microsoft and Starbucks to dental groups and entrepreneurs. His business-boosting books are published in multiple languages throughout the world. And on stage, he combines tales from his vast travel adventures in 104 countries (thus far, as featured in USA Today), with his equally vast fund of knowledge in the conduct of business. He is truly the”Traveling Twain of the 21st Century.” And, like Twain, he delivers potent, practical lessons for commerce and for life.
Speaking to a mixed audience of Arabs and non-Arabs from atop two tables joined end to end, George presented the common words to create uncommonly positive outcomes and emphasizes that the “power talkers” sell more, achieve their career and personal goals faster. During the seminar participants learned to identify powerless, self-sabotaging phrases in their everyday conversation and discovered powerful replacements that generate superior results.

The seminar sponsored by Kuwait Life Sciences Company, Life Sciences Academy, and the International Advertising Association Kuwait Chapter.
