Stan

CEO & Founder

Stan Berry is the creator of Writing and Speaking to Get Things Done and the heart behind everything we teach. His journey began as a kid, sitting in the back of his dad’s business writing classes and watching professionals wrestle with unclear writing rules. Even then, he knew there had to be a better way.

After graduate school at Yale, that curiosity grew into a mission. Stan wanted to create a simple, universal set of principles and models that would help any organization write clearly — no matter how technical the content was. Over 50+ years, that mission turned into the WGTD program used by tens of thousands of professionals every day across every industry.

Fun Fact:

Stan loves jazz and blues music and grew up watching western movies with his twin brother. Stan is the second generation of Berry Writing Group.

How Stan helps people get things done:
He brings energy, passion, and real-life wisdom into every class, making the content practical, engaging, and immediately useful.
