John Blumberg's keynote address at our annual national meeting kept our conference attendees spellbound. In almost 20 years of attending professional conferences, I have rarely, if ever, attended a session as meaningful and memorable as John's presentation, “The Power of Purpose: Finding Meaning in the Workplace.” John had spoken at the University of Tennessee to an entirely different audience and his work with NALP exceeded my high expectations!

John Blumberg proved to be a refreshing and unique source of thought provoking ideas about issues central to our lives, not just our jobs. In addition to his obvious and considerable presentation skills, and the excellent participant feedback, what was unique was the impressive connection he made with the audience. His preparation was superb -– we got the opposite of a canned speech –- and his absolutely genuine person shone through and added weight to his remarks.

Thanks so much for being a part of our Student Leadership Conferences over the past several years. You have continuously, by far, been the highest rated presentation of our 3-day conference . . . which is one of the most highly rated sessions at our Center for Professional Development. Your presentation is so extremely powerful and memorable that students talk about it the remainder of the weekend. It is not just another presentation . . . it is truly an experience!

Thank you so much for your rousing closing presentation to our Federation of Schools of Accountancy Consortium. You really charged up the audience to go back to their work (and their lives) with a renewed enthusiasm for finding heroism in what they do. One of the participants called me to say the program was so good that we should repeat it in its entirety next year . . . he said he would even want to come again!
Karen V. Pincus
University of Arkansas - College of Business Administration

The feedback from the participants was amazing. Folks felt energized, re-focused on being a strong leader, and re-committed to encouraging purposeful leadership back on their own campuses. John was so at ease with our audience. His ability to seek out feedback and participation from the audience was well appreciated. As one of the more seasoned professionals shared with me, “John’s presentation was exactly what I needed and set a great tone for our meeting this year. Thank you for bringing him to us.”
