Kevin McCarthy is a dynamic, inspirational keynote speaker, master trainer & executive coach for Making Better Happen, LLC.

In addition, Kevin is the 2016-17 President-elect for the National Speakers Association Oregon chapter, where he recently won a Member of the Year award.

Kevin began his professional speaking career in 1994 while he owned the 13th largest Century 21 office in the USA, and held a position on the Board of Directors for the Phoenix area Century 21 brokers. Thriving as a speaker, he sold his real estate company and began traveling the country helping industry leaders position themselves for a brave new World Wide Web.

During his extensive travels, Kevin developed a web-based software solution that would position his real estate clients for optimum success. He eventually sold that company for a substantial sum during the craziness of the dot com era.

His next opportunity blindsided him with a prison sentence he didn't see coming. Welcome to The BlindSpot Zone!

Kevin continues to work with industry leaders to uncover the blindspots that affect their behavior and hinder their influence.
