Although Gallagher enjoyed a good life and a steady job, greed got the better of him, and little by little, he began to steal from his clients. It was only a matter of time before his choices caught up to him. After his stunning and public fall from the graces of his community, Gallagher describes his life in prison, the things he missed out on, and the steps he took to make things right. His inspiring story focuses on how anyone can take their worst moments of life and transform them into a better opportunity.

About the Author:

Chuck Gallagher, executive, author, and speaker, understands the challenges of business from both a growth and ethics perspective. As a professional speaker, Chuck has been featured in Business Week and New Perspectives, and has been a guest on CNN, CBS, and NPR. Gallagher, raised by a single parent in the projects, came from humble beginnings. At twenty-six, he became tax partner at a CPA firm and was one of only three CPAs in the country asked to testify before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on a new employee benefits provision of the tax law. In the middle of this rising career, Gallagher lost everything because he made some bad choices. He has since rebuilt his career and is now enjoying the success he once did. With more vulnerability than the average keynoter, Gallagher shares with his audiences his life journey, the consequences of his unethical choices, and how life gives you a second chance when you make the right choices.
