Speaking

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.

John’s presentation was absolutely great, and the attendees loved the content! His presentation was engaging and a great combination of casual and “expert” and VERY respectful to HR people and the hard job they have. I was really impressed and can’t wait for your book to come out!

John’s presentation was engaging and personal with positive practical takeaways for the audience. John has a relaxed and humorous approach that captures the audience's attention. Unlike many previous Zoom presentations, no one dropped off until well after John finished. John is unique in that he doesn't offer a rehash of the status quo; he presents with an informed and unique perspective on the topic.

John Bernatovicz presented at the Ohio Conference for Payroll Professionals on “Advancing Your Payroll Career.” John has a way of connecting with his audience, by keeping them engaged with and being a part of the presentation, keeping them on the edge of their seat so they can be the next one to answer a question or ask a question. The presentation doesn’t end when you walk away. You start incorporating what John just shared within your current roles of life. John has been a pleasure to work with, he commits to the event, and you know you can count of him to deliver on time, engage and include the audience, and present on a great number of topics.

"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. As usual, he killed it! His topics are relevant to what is trending in HR, and he keeps his presentations interesting and the audience engaged. 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.”
