Over 2,300 audiences in the past 18 years—from schools
and churches across the USA to such elite clients as The National
Geographic Society, DuPont, General Electric, the Ohio State University,
and the Young President's Organization—have laughed and
cried with Dr. Newman, as he's sought to inspire them to throw
away their fears, follow their dreams, and become more active
in their community and their places of work and of learning.
A keynoter, motivator, educator, role model, and internationally-published
author of the highest caliber. Dr. Newman's unquenchable belief
that most of our fears in this chaotic world are greatly exaggerated
has resulted in his being honored with Ohio's most prestigious
award, the Governor's Award, for "Outstanding Courage and
Inspiration." It is an honor given annually to only one person
in each of the fields of Business, Education, Fine Arts, Sports,
Public Service, and Humanities, and it and his appearances on
such national television shows as Larry King and Good Morning
America, are vivid testimonies to the impact his truly unique
world explorer has had on others.
The fact that 95 percent of his speech clients have come to him
via word-of-mouth is further evidence to the inspiration his stories
bring to others. From educators, to administrators, to students,
to corporate employees, to volunteers, to athletes, to senior
citizens. Dr. Newman has spoken to nearly one million persons
worldwide of nearly every race, faith, and occupation of the importance
of self-esteem, positive thinking, listening skills, focused visualization,
goal-setting, respect, patriotism, personal behavior, and persistence.
A Professional Member of the National Speakers Association since
1992, Dr. Newman's presentations and seminars are adaptable to
any age group and to any time frame—from 20 minutes to several
hours. Slides and DVD/Video clips available for inclusion in many
programs. His most requested speech titles include:
* The Kindness of Strangers—a deeply-moving, yet humor-filled,
account of human encounters in other lands that reminds us our
struggles, and even our faults, can become powerful teachers
on the paths to our goals;
* Step by Step—rediscovering trust, cooperation, and personal
strength
* Paths of Illumination—working though change and growth
to self-acceptance;
* There Be Dragons—venturing into the unknown and being
prepared for all that is
supposed to defeat us.
