Bob Berkowitz invested his passion for effective, powerful, and persuasive communications to build a storied career in media. He was a White House correspondent for CNN, a reporter for ABC News, the "Today" show, and a talk show host for CNBC.

Today, Bob is a globally recognized communications trainer. His work involves helping clients—be they business executives, authors, or government leaders—to create compelling, memorable messages about who they are, what they stand for and why others should care. He then coaches them to communicate those messages clearly and persuasively.

Through his decades of experience, Bob has successfully prepared his clients for television appearances, keynote speeches, investor days, on-stage interviews, sales presentations, entrepreneurial pitches, and campaign communications. He encourages clients to take charge of media interviews rather than respond passively to questions.

His presentation training principles help create more dynamic, attention grabbing and memorable communicators – regardless of their prior speaking experience. He has also sharpened the interviewing skills of executives who were tasked to find out what customers really think about the company, and its products and services. Political candidates both overseas and in the U.S. have gained tremendous knowledge on how to ace media interviews, make outstanding speeches, and successfully do "The Ask." Doctors in several hospitals learned from Bob how to better communicate with patients, nurses and fellow physicians. He has worked with countless entrepreneurs to help them make their case to investors, customers, and prospective employees.

Bob is the recipient of an Overseas Press Club award for his reporting and a journalism citation from The Freedom Foundation.

Bob and his wife, Susan Yager, and their dog Watson and cat DJ live and work in Manhattan and the East End of Long Island.

Editor's Note: This is part two of a two-part discussion with Mr. Schuessler. We found this discussion so relevant to today's healthcare challenges, we decided not to leave anything behind.

As Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Mitigate Partners, a risk management, cost containment and employee benefits consulting firm, Carl Schuessler leads a consortium of 30+ employee benefit consulting and brokerage firms. Carl brings more than 30 years of experience in benefits consulting and financial services to the field, and pioneered the fiduciary approach to benefits advisory services. His passion for fixing the problem of runaway health-care costs in this country and his desire to treat the employer's money as his own led him through years of research culminating in the development of his proprietary FairCo$t Health Plan. This innovative plan design seamlessly integrates 20+ cost containment solutions with a high-performance health-care solutions platform. This combination provides first-class benefits at substantially lower costs to employers all while realizing better clinical outcomes for plan members. A founding Health Rosetta Charter Certified Advisor, Carl has been nationally recognized for his work in creating localized, employer-built, health-care plans. By removing misaligned incentives, directing care based on quality and cost, and, ultimately, helping courageous employers fix their plans, companies are saving 15-to-30 percent in their healthcare spend. An accomplished speaker, Carl often rallies audiences with stories of how Mitigate Partners are challenging Wall Street (insurer-built) health plans by creating Main Street (employer-built) health plans and bending the healthcare cost curve.
