After bursting on to the scene as NBC’s first Apprentice, Bill Rancic has traveled to every part of the globe, sharing his life experiences with tens of thousands of leaders, businesses and organizations on a variety of important topics. Topics range from why some companies thrive in chaos — and others don’t — to the leadership behaviors needed in a world beset by turbulence, uncertainty and dramatic change.
What makes Bill Rancic so unique is that he is both a student and teacher of leadership and has a healthy obsession with what makes great companies and leaders tick.
Having invested nearly two decades living the topic, Rancic has authored four books. They include New York Times best-seller You’re Hired: How to Succeed in Business and Life, which examines how some companies and leaders make the leap to superior results; the enduring classic Beyond the Lemonade Stand which teaches and empowers young people on the value of money and positive self image. In addition, Rancic co-authored I Do… Now What? with celebrity wife Giuliana Rancic where they share secrets to everlasting love. And, he just penned his first novel, First Light.
Driven by a relentless curiosity, Rancic graduated cum laude from Loyola University and went on to become a successful entrepreneur when he founded a monthly online subscription-based retailer. Since then, he has inspired millions of people around the globe on reaching their full potential. He is currently co-owner of the Giuliana Prosecco and the RPM Restaurant Group.
Rancic appears regularly on numerous daytime broadcast and cable television programs such as Today, The View, Rachael Ray, Steve Harvey and various CNBC programs.
He currently resides in Chicago with his wife Giuliana and son Duke.
From a boat washing business in college to a million-dollar business and restaurant empire, Bill Rancic’s road to success has been paved with the ups and downs that anyone in business will have to overcome. This is a story you might hear again and again in the world of business speaking, but that does not mean Bill Rancic isn’t unique. He is. Bill is different.
What makes Bill different is his adaptability in an ever-changing business world, and his willingness to adopt strategies that reject conventional wisdom in the industry.

For anyone who wants to increase their return on investment, improve market share, or reap the benefits of a more productive, motivated workforce, Bill can help you grow. You just have to take advantage of this opportunity and learn to pause, pivot, and succeed.

“Bill was great to work with and was very interested in our needs for the group. He went out of his way to talk to VIP customers and share stories with the group.”
“Bill was GREAT! Thank you so much. His keynote address was charismatic, intelligent, motivating, and funny. And he is such a nice guy. Everyone loved him – the room was packed for his keynote and he stayed to sign autographs and take pictures with every person that got in line even though he was on a tight schedule. And as a bonus, our convention might make it on his TV show.”
“He was awesome! The best speaker in the 11 years I have managed the Conference — and we have had some huge names. He was also very polite.”
“I thought I would take the opportunity to thank you and let you know how much of a success Bill Rancic was for the IIA Annual Seminar this past Monday. We do not have our survey results in just yet, nor will they be available for many weeks…but from the initial comments he hit right on target. Mr. Rancic’s comments were thoughtful across the generational groups (which is very important) and he even used a few key auditing terms which were gladly noted by the group. Please pass along our thanks and appreciation for a job very well done.”
