Amy McNeil, SARC Executive Director:
"Your
personal stories of growth and optimism struck a deep cord with those in
attendance. If motivation was your only goal, you succeeded. However, if you
were striving to inspire deep belly laughter, internal reflection, misty
eyes, and a healthy dose of "open your eyes to the world that surrounds"
as they say in Hollywood, you nailed it! Your engaging presentation left all
conference-goers thinking about how to embrace and savour life. Conference
evaluations only confirmed how I felt: "Wow. Loved John Baumann as keynote
speaker!!" "Such a motivated speaker. I will think of him and his life
challenges when I am feeling down myself. I know I will not feel that way much
longer." "Wonderful presenter! Touching, funny, inspirational!"
"John Baumann was excellent. I didn't want the presentation to end. What a
'Grand Finale'!" "Amazing!" Quality presenters are difficult to
find, so I hope you don't object to me recommending you to fellow colleagues."
Shahin Shoostari, PhD, Speaker:
"I
am just writing to tell you your talk has changed me, and my
thinking....and how I feel...I came out of your talk a much stronger
person... a much stronger caregiver .......you are a great speaker John....with
your positive attitude, and the great ability which you have to express
your feelings, your opinions, and telling people your life story and your
daughter, Katie's story, you could CHANGE lives.... I don't know how to
express myself and my opinion about the impact of your story on me John,
.....I listened to you as you talked, as you walked us through your life story
and told us all about the challenges which you have
experienced.........I was listening, I remember I cried, I laughed, I felt
sad, and then happy ....but at the end BEING STRONG, a much stronger
person....as you were taking I was reflecting on my own life, on my own
challenges...listening more carefully to what you discussed as the needs of you
as a caregiver and the factors, which affected you and led to your
success......I found myself coming out of that session being a much stronger
person....I am writing John, just to thank you for sharing your own story, and
telling us how important it is to keep the positive attitude and work hard, but
also take the time to rest and enjoy our lives and what we have. I am grateful
for reinforcing these ideas and the fact that we need to focus on our
ABILITIES....... and be POSITIVE. Your talk was fascinating, inspiring,
relevant, practical...I was able to relate to what you were saying, even
without having your challenges....my problems in life are different than yours
John. I have my family, my friends, my students, each come to me with different
problems than yours and mine, but I believe your talk would be good for everyone
of us, for everybody regardless of the kinds of the problems and issues which we
have. It's all about how we can be positive ......Being positive, being
strong, enjoying life, helping others... I hope you continue telling people
all about your life, your attitude, and what has helped you to become who you
are today.........
Elevating awareness, understanding
and
ability to anticipate by presenting
