Walter Bond’s story begins on the basketball court, where he achieved his dream of playing in the NBA. But when his career was cut short, Walter faced a crossroads that would define the rest of his life. Instead of giving up, he chose to reinvent himself, using the lessons he learned on the court to build a new path as a speaker, author, and accountability expert.
Today, Walter’s story of resilience and reinvention inspires audiences around the world. His message is simple yet powerful: “Your past doesn’t define you—your actions do.”
Beyond the stage and boardroom, Walter Bond’s most important roles are those of a family man and community leader. A proud graduate of the University of Minnesota, Walter’s commitment to building a lasting legacy begins with his family and extends to the communities he serves.
His passion for strengthening communities drives him to give back, empowering others to achieve success not just in business but in life. Through his work, he encourages individuals and teams to think beyond the immediate – to build something bigger, stronger, and lasting.
When Walter steps onto the stage, you can’t miss him. It could be because he’s 6’5 and stands out in a crowd, but it could also be because on the stage is where he feels at home. As a nationally recognized public speaker, he commands the stage. He makes the entire audience, whether it’s a small board room or a large conference venue, feel seen. People walk out of Walter’s talks changed, motivated, and inspired. His principles are simple but powerful, his delivery is smooth, and he combines humor, tough love, and experience in a way that changes people.
Walter’s third and most recently released book Swim!, has picked up speed since its debut in July, and has become a staple for business people and students across the country. His easy-to-read professional development book combines lovable characters, relatable life lessons, and hard truths that help readers understand the power of leadership, mentoring, and next-level success.
Walter travels the country speaking, coaching, teaching, and inspiring companies across a wide range of industries, from financial services to agriculture and franchising to real estate and many more in between. At any given time, you can find Walter leading a mastermind class, offering one on one professional development, hosting book talks, and coaching hungry business leaders and entrepreneurs towards success.
While many know Walter Bond as a former NBA player, more and more people know Walter as a passionate and motivated speaker, author, and business coach with one goal: to help people see their full potential.
Walter graduated from the University of Minnesota and has been married to his wife and business partner Antoinette for 30 years. They have three adult children.
