Reviews of John’s Presentations
When John speaks, people listen. Reviewers also!
It is nothing less than a story about our capacity as humans to imagine, perform and soar... a daring blueprint that might force you to reexamine what you do, why you do it, and what you are waiting for.
Grand Rapids Press
Truly inspirational.
Cowes Online (England)
Heart disease tried to kill him, but he wouldn’t stop living. He resolved not just to survive, but to really live… As adventure stories go, this one is hard to beat.
Charleston Gazelle
This personable, articulate guy grabbed the audience right at the start of his address and held their attention…It was the decision to face death with an effort to live a fulfilled life that makes his talk (and text) so powerfully heart wrenching.
The Buffalo News
Braveheart.
Yachting Monthly (London)
Like everyone else in the room, I didn’t budge from my seat during the speech, except at the end to join fellow communicators in a standing ovation for what was one of the best, most informative opening addresses I have ever heard…a compelling, inspirational story that applies to anyone.
Oakland Press
A tale of determination, romance, the will to survive and adventure on the high seas…fascinating.
