John, your speech to the 8th graders at our career day
was a big hit! I am sure your story helped them become
more focused in school and realize the wealth of opportunities
that are available to them. I know many of the students are eager
to read Project Be The Change.

Award-Winning Motivational Speaker
Entertaining, Educational, Inspiring Presentations for Students
- You Can Do It!
This award-winning speech takes you on the journey of an infant born with brain damage, addicted to drugs, and without a family who overcame great obstacles to achieve tremendous success in life. Through this presentation, you'll discover the most important thing you need to know in life. - Acing the Test:
How Any Student Can Become an "A+" Student
John flunked kindergarten; yet he went on to earn academic scholarships to major universities and receive the highest academic award the University of Iowa confers on graduating seniors. How did a first generation college student, who worked full time, achieve this kind of success? In this presentation, John shares the specific study skills that enabled him to rise to the top of academia by becoming an "A+" student. - Achieving Your Dreams
(Even if You Don't Know Them Yet)
Many people, adults and students alike, wonder what their purpose is in life. Others dream of achieving greatness, but are never able to fulfill those desires. In this presentation, John shares his proven formula for defining and achieving dreams. This formula landed him his dream job at the Federal Reserve, on a corporate jet with a billionaire, and at a state function at the White House. Learn specific steps you can take to define the life of your dreams and how to begin achieving it today. - How to Succeed in College and in Life
College is the first time in many people's lives when they are entirely responsible for themselves. Many students don't know how to handle this responsibility and they waste valuable time and money in the process. This presentation teaches college students specific steps they can take to make the most out of their college experience and still enjoy what college has to offer. The same principles John teaches for success in college can be applied for success throughout life. - Fit For Life
Obesity is a growing problem in the United States and is a contributing cause to more deaths and illnesses than any other factor. As a nation, we are literally eating ourselves to death. One in every two children born after 2000 will suffer from Type II diabetes if current trends continue. In this presentation, John shares his story of how he went from a 135 lb. long distance runner to an obese 265 lbs couch potato. He teaches the lessons he learned to lose weight and gain strength so that he can now compete in triathlons. John shows you how to make better choices each day so you, too, can be fit for life. - Custom Presentations
John customizes a portion of every presentation to fit his audience. If you would like a combination of the above speeches, or something entirely different to convey a specific message to your audience, John will happily accommodate your request.
