Speaking Opportunities

John Bernatovicz is a skilled and dynamic speaker who shares relevant insights and cares about others and HR. He spoke to my class about the role of HR in engaging and retaining employees and had a great impact on the way students perceive human resources. In their feedback, one student said John ‘opened my eyes to a side of HR that I wasn’t aware of as I never thought about HR being responsible for helping to improve the community’. Another indicated that John was ‘engaging, fun, informative, and knowledgeable – what more could we want from a speaker?’ Working with John is enjoyable, as I know he’ll be reliable and interesting, and will share knowledgeable information with my students!

I’ve known John for over 30 years, and finally found the perfect opportunity to get him in front of my undergraduate business students to talk about his background, the HR profession, and his own career advice. Even delivering this content to the students in my class over ZOOM, his delivery was engaging and impactful, particularly drawing in the audience with questions for reflection. I recommend John as a speaker to anyone looking to hear first-hand about HR and entrepreneurial success!

John is a well-connected and trusted resource on human resources (HR), emerging technology, innovation, and change. During our Better World Day conference, he delivered valuable information and analysis in an inspiring and entertaining manner. I would highly recommend John as a keynote speaker.

"Over the years, John Bernatovicz has presented several times at Akron Area SHRM meetings. In his most recent presentation, he subbed in when we had a speaker cancel last minute.

We always receive a lot of great feedback from our attendees who share they are able to take away actionable insights from the presentation to improve what they do in their organization.”
