Henry Winkler has enjoyed over four decades of success in Hollywood and continues
to be in demand as an actor, producer and director. Audiences always leave Henry’s
presentations inspired and entertained. Through humorous anecdotes and inspirational
life lessons about overcoming adversity to his storied career in television and entertainment,
groups of all ages can learn from Henry’s speeches. His passion for supporting others
is the result of a lifetime struggle with undiagnosed dyslexia. Henry has
worked tirelessly to bring awareness and support to children who learn differently
by advocating for changes in the educational
system and informing parents and teachers about learning challenges.
