Motivational Speakers

As a professional speaker, John Blumberg has been featured in keynotes and workshops in 9 countries on 3 continents. In 1996, John left behind an 18-year career and a position he loved to follow his dream to speak with organizations that are serious about creating productive work environments of trust, courage, focus and service.

John knows just how much the bottom-line depends on trust, courage, focus and service. In fact he knows it goes beyond the bottom-line ... and into the very survival of an organization. Although John left an 18-year career at Arthur Andersen in 1996, he has felt the heartbreak of seeing the efforts of building a 90-year legacy implode in just 6 weeks! It is an experience that will break your heart ... and ignite your passion. John's messages are not simply conceptual theory from the classroom ... but rather practical insight from the trenches of our business world. What John shares may change the way you will want to lead and possibly the person who you want to be!

Audiences who have experienced John's genuine, engaging and professional presentation style are surprised to find his roots in business began as a CPA! But he shifted his focus and expertise from numbers to people and spent 14 years in Human Resources, including worldwide recruiting responsibilities. This front row seat has given him a chance to bring together the unique combination of bottom-line business insight and the human spirit ... to address strategies for becoming a leader of substance, retaining your very best people, and developing a sincere heart for truly serving your clients and colleagues.

From the very beginning, John has always believed that the performance measure of an outstanding speaker is in what the audience does differently when everyone goes home ... and he delivers!

John's peers in the speaking profession agree ... he is a Past-President of the National Speaker Association's Illinois Chapter. NSA-IL members voted John as the 2001 winner of their Wordsmith Award, which acknowledges dedication to excellence on the platform, and as the 2002 winner of their Nick Carter Award in recognition of his unrelenting enthusiasm and commitment to the profession.

In 2002, John joined with professional pianists Tim and Ryan O'Neill to create a CD with a unique blend of motivational direction and reflective music. It is titled Moments of Substance. In 2003, John will publish his first book titled Silent Alarm. It is a parable for busy professionals finding the courage to wake-up to the lessons of life!

John combines his unrelenting attention to detail, his low-maintenance style of working together and his passion to serve ... with his substantive content and presentation style ... to provide the recipe for a memorable experience for participant and meeting planner alike!
