John Register delivered a keynote to our top group of leaders at Vail Resorts that was transformational. His ability to connect with and inspire our team on a deeply personal level was remarkable. During the session, team members opened up and shared personal stories in front of a large group—a testament to the dynamic and encouraging environment John created. His storytelling is unparalleled, blending his unique perspective with a message that resonates at every leadership level. John's willingness to collaborate with our team to tailor his keynote into a hybrid exercise demonstrated his commitment to making an impact. The outcome exceeded our expectations, and the positive ripple effect within our organization has been profound. As a leader, I've seen firsthand how John's approach drives individual and collective growth. Moreover, his generosity in donating a portion of his fee to two deserving non-profits showcases his character and dedication to making a difference beyond the stage. John is more than a speaker—he’s a catalyst for change. I highly recommend him to any organization looking to inspire, elevate, and truly transform their team." —Bill Rock

I absolutely recommend John Register if your organization is seeking an uplifting, genuine speaker. His down to earth approach resonates with any large audience, but also busy members of the executive team. Humility is evident as soon as you meet John and permeates his encouraging message. I look forward to working with John again in the future.

We, 160over recently hired John Register as our featured motivational speaker for a client's President's Club Program in New Orleans (through the Harry Walker Agency). Long story short, in my 20 years of experience listening to professional speakers, John was by far the most dynamic and impactful presenter, and his personal story/journey is incredible and inspiring. His message was right on target and adaptable to many different organizations/initiatives.

Insightful, dynamic & thought-provoking… John Register spoke at our Extended Leadership Meeting and as he engaged the audience with humor and enthusiasm, the atmosphere shifted from business as normal to a "new normal". He empowered us to aim high, change our mental model and be in charge of our leadership development. With the challenges that accompanied the loss of his leg, John illustrated how we can make a difference in the world by transforming our thinking to be better. Our audience loved him!"

John, it was an honor and a pleasure having you at our Komet USA LLC National Sales Meeting You drove our message about changing and how to overcome obstacles in the most inspiring way! You gave our team the oxygen to achieve our company’s vision. I surely learned a lot from you and didn’t hear anything but positive comments from the team. Thank you and I look forward to continuing this conversation!

"What a privilege to have John Register as our keynote speaker for Disability Employment Awareness Month at Southwest Airlines! Not only did John candidly and powerfully share his own story, but he also challenged our employees to think critically about everything from the opportunity around employing People with Disabilities to the various ways to create mindset shift and advance the conversation. He is truly a change management expert in the space of disability. Close to 85% of our employees rated John's keynote as 'outstanding' and 100% of employees rated it either 'valuable' or 'of significant value'. John Register's voice is an important one and his passion and critical engagement around diversity will do much to advance our shared vision of creating a more inclusive world."

My man!!! You absolutely CRUSHED IT!!! Many people are coming up to me telling me how impactful your story was and how much they loved it. Thanks for challenging us and pushing us to "amputate" the very things that are making us resistant to change. I had numerous conversations tonight at our opening reception and every single person that came up to me was blown away and inspired by your story. Huge success and had exactly the IMPACT I had imagined. Thankful God brought our paths together! For HIS glory.

John delivered a keynote for our annual Strength in Security conference that was extremely motivating and well received by employees, clients and students. He mixes fun and laughter with some difficult topics to create an uplifting and inspiring presentation. You will never hear the word tolerate again the same way!

"Thank you John, after the challenges the airline industry has experience during the pandemic, your message was inspiring, funny and relatable. As the presenting sponsor at the Visit Colorado Springs awards event, you wove in our company culture beautifully. Your stories gave solid leadership lessons and action steps. You made me laugh, cry and feel inspired. I have heard many motivational speakers, your remarks were masterful crafted and on point and spoke to almost everyone in the room. Thanks for inspiring all of us to show up and be our best."

"John, Thank you for the "gift" of your presentation today. Your words were impactful and inspiring. You've challenged us to elevate our game and shift our focus. Thank you again!"

John keynoted at the BP 2015 Business Resource Group (BRG) National Summit. John and his message were at once - amazing, inspiring, and thought-provoking. As he told his message of life, adversity, rising to challenges and embracing the "New Normal" we were spell-bound and felt very fortunate that he was sharing it with us. His story is one to be heard. But that is not enough, The lessons are to be reflected upon and then utilized to demonstrate "how" we each want to intentionally have impact on this journey of life. Our team doesn't give compliments easily. John is impressive.

A virtual standing ovation for John Register If you desire an entertaining, relevant, and dynamic storyteller who presents really well on the virtual platform, then I highly recommend John Register who delivered an engaging, laughter-filled presentation as part of our 1st 2020 diversity, equity, and inclusion training. Using the platform "bluejeans" John quickly adapted and worked through the challenges of engaging an online audience. One of our participants enjoyed the session so much she attend both training sessions. John Register was everything we asked for and more!

All around standing ovation for John Register!" BOOKING! "Once we confirmed that John was speaking at the event for our employee resource group, he immediately began to take action to prepare. It was clear that he had a solid approach to handling engagements with customers based on standard offerings like a pre-video and a pre-meeting with key stakeholders. NOT LIKE OTHER SPEAKERS WE"VE HAD! John was very engaging right from the start and expressed interest in our corporate culture so that he could align the presentation with terminology that would resonate with our employees. DURING THE PRESENTATION While delivering his presentation, the audience was taken in by his flair for storytelling and interactive engagment. Afterwards, many audience members expressed interest in wanting to hear more from John. And, yes! Our employees and leadership honored John with a standing ovation! POST EVENT FOLLOW UP After the event, John continued to stay engaged and offered a post-video along with personalized notes of thanks. Overall the experience working with John was very positive and I highly recommend him as a keynote speaker."

John Register was an incredibly inspirational speaker at our annual First Responders Breakfast event! His story of pain and anguish during his most triumphant moment was heartbreaking. It was inspiring to hear how, even in the moment of intense pain, he had intense love for the first responders and people who came out to help him in his biggest time of need. His positive approach to life and perseverance attitude is a MUST hear. The way he beautifully weaves his stories and engages the audience is second to none. We HIGHLY recommend John as a keynote speaker!"

I have seen my share of motivational speeches in corporate America over the last 20 years. None was so moving and humbling as was John's message of overcoming adversity and capitalizing on the "New Normal." For our corporate message he taught that everything we do is tying and linking to a vision of where the company is going, and those are our "New Normals" that we are after. I highly recommend John for your organization's motivational and event speaker needs!

"I have had the pleasure of hearing John speak several times over the years and will take advantage of any opportunity to hear him again. I have not seen many people 'shift' from live events to the virtual platform and keep audience engagement quite as well as John. John's commanding presence along with his gift in connecting with many people at the same time while incorporating his life experiences in a relatable and relevant manner is something not to be missed. John embodies the Olympic spirit, is a champion for diversity and will fuel the inner fire in you."

John is a masterful and resourceful professional. When my University shifted to online classes and remote working conditions due to Covid 19, John was still able to accommodate our program. He delivered his presentation virtually via an online platform. I was concerned that the presentation wouldn't be the same. I was wrong. I was surprised at how engaging the virtual session was with John. His content was delivered perfectly and he was the same dynamic presenter that I have always known.

I have attended many virtual trainings, but what John Register did was MAGICAL! He made a huge difference for my students and got them back on a positive trajectory after a tough week. If you are considering a dynamic virtual and interactive presenter your company can't afford to miss John's presentation, "Amputate Your Fear and Embrace Your New Normal."

John, you triggered innovative thinking in our group. They are still referencing the 'new normal' and looking at our situation in a different way, meaning you have helped ignite a change in mindset in our people. Thank you!

On behalf of WinnCompanies, I strongly recommend John Register as a motivational speaker. John recently served as the keynote for our annual corporate awards celebration to recognize exemplary performance by employees and employee teams across the company's 23-state portfolio. His talk inspired the 330-person audience. Based on a survey completed afterward, his speech ranked as the highest-rated keynote in the past 10 years of the yearly event. Nearly 85% of attendees described themselves as highly satisfied with his remarks, saying that they found the lessons of John's life story to be immediately relatable to the challenges and opportunities they face every day in their professional and personal lives. "John Register's speech was amazing. He made you truly feel something, learn something and get inspired," one attendee said in a written review that echoed opinions offered by many others. Not only did John work hard to understand our company's mission and workforce in advance of his speech, but he also was very generous with his time afterward. He was an an enthusiastic participant in the charitable, community service activity we held following his remarks and he also visited with us during a social event later that evening. John is pure inspiration. It's our pleasure to highly recommend him to other organizations.

Many times I've attended seminars where the speaker speaks at or to me rather than with me. John Register spoke with us. He engaged us on a number of levels and encouraged our participation not just with him, but with each other. It was good to see a group so involved that they set aside their cell phones and actually paid attention. It was time well spent that passed by too quickly.

First and foremost, Mr. John Register! Thank you! You brought it home. I know you are a great speaker and then I sit down and get immersed in your story and bam, you take us into a different universe. It was so good to see you, catch up, and know you impacted people on the way out. Thank you! You are golden!

John is a powerful communicator and passionate story teller! His presentation at GLATA19 on "Life's New Normal" was amazing. His message was inspiring and encouraging. He conveyed critical ideas simply and communicated difficult ideas in a personal and meaningful way. Perhaps most impressive was the amount of time he spent with his audience after the talk was over. John was personable and genuine and talked to everyone who wanted and gave his undivided attention and treated them all as if they were the only ones in the room! Thanks, John! Great job!!

I had the honor of working with John as the keynote speaker at a United States Olympic Training Center experience for a luxury automaker's national dealer meeting. Upon viewing his TEDx presentation, there was no doubt that John would be a great inspiration and provide a motivational spark for the attendees. I had no idea how fantastic he would be to work with in the period leading up to the meeting. From the start, John demonstrated deep commitment and enthusiasm for understanding the objectives of the meeting and the needs and interest of the audience, gathering input from several different stakeholders, customizing his message, and seamlessly integrating feedback to create an amazing presentation. Only a few weeks before the meeting, with a sincere desire to further increase the impact of his message, John proactively suggested adding an interactive exercise - getting the group on their feet to directly experience a point that could easily translate into action after the meeting. John's presentation was a resounding success, and dealer enthusiasm carried into the final night reception where many sought him out for a photo opportunity and further discussion. Clearly, I'm a fan and unconditionally recommend him for others seeking to inspire and motivate their attendees to face the challenge and thrive as they engage with their own "New Normal."

"One word sums up John Register: Wow! For business leaders wanting to energize your team to deliver exponential results, John's amazing story of overcoming adversity is authentic; his delivery style commands the audience; his messages inspire and stick."

"Times are tough – people have challenges and it has become easier for people to just give up. John's presentation is a fresh air of inspiration for those of us that believe that you can be successful in spite of what life throws at you. He has overcome great adversity and made a perceived weakness his strength. We can all learn from him. Great presentation, thank you!"

"John Register is an exceptional speaker who can work in a variety of settings ranging from small groups through keynote presentations. He embraces his audiences and captivates them through touching and entertaining personal stories about issues that impact all of us. His message is poignant and customized for each group and includes stories about life challenges, leadership, diversity and disability. I highly recommend John without reservation."

"John, Thanks for the great job at today's meeting. You were great! The message was great. The number of lessons learned in such a short period just blew me away. Your enthusiasm, delivery and context were really on point. You brought your A game and I'm really happy that you were there to get us off to a great start in the new year!

Thank you for a talk that is reverberating in my head. I will remember the inspiration of basic human connection in the example of the woman coming up to you. Great lesson for her children and for all of us who heard you tell it. And I will never look at an overhead bin the same way again!

“John has been invaluable in his message of patriotism, teamwork, and overcoming adversity for a greater mission to our athletes. His training on presentation skills brought our athlete education program to a new level as he brought advanced presentation training to our athletes for the first time. I only wish I had tapped into John’s unique skill-set sooner, but we will definitely be requesting his services again."

Sir, I was a member of the audience today when you spoke at Tyson Corporate. I just wanted to thank you for what was truly an “inspirational” lecture. After hearing your story, I am certain that going forward I will be working each day to “create my new normal” by “changing my perspective, tolerating confusion, and pursuing my passion.” By employing the tools you shared with your audience, I know that I accomplish these goals, one new normal at a time.

John: You played a major role in our success this weekend and you made a positive impact on thousands of families, athletes, sponsors and friends of Virginia Commonwealth State Games. On their behalf please accept my thank you making a inspiration difference!

John: I wanted to share with you that we received our survey results and your session rated very highly. It's safe to say the group very much enjoyed your presentation, stories, and interaction! I direct our professional development "track" and I am highly recommending you to our large, annual convention. Thanks, again John for an outstanding job!

I recently had the pleasure of having John come and speak to 150 staff members as our Keynote for an all-day Professional Learning event. John's presentation was engaging, thought-provoking, and dynamic. Feedback has been over 96% positive with the vast majority giving John the highest feedback rating possible. John brings a unique lens to equity conversation. I highly recommend him for your next learning opportunity

John Register did an outstanding job at our 2019 global meeting, flying in early to spend time with our associates on the court, get to know the audience to maximize his inspiring messaging the next day to our all-associate town hall. John connected on many levels with his authentic, heartfelt, inspiring messaging. Our team members are already living it, talking about the news ways of thinking/acting. Thank you, John, for a terrific engagement!

John, Thank you again for kicking off the ADA Conference. Your speech was encouraging and enlightening, and your delivery was outstanding as always. It was the perfect start to the event.

Thank you so much for your great presentation today! It definitely hit the right chords with our Board of Directors! I heard lots of board members making good comments on how to activate and implement the great thought provoking ideas you shared. Thank you for taking time out of your weekend to share your expertise with us. You are amazing!

First of all, a big thanks to you for the talk that you gave our team at our National Meeting. My team members are still discussing many of the points you made and we are often referencing our "new normal".

John's message truly resonated with our student-athletes. In a time when their personal, academic and athletic environments are constantly shifting, it is imperative to equip them with the skills to create what John calls their "new normal". He was able to shine a light on the need for a perspective shift based on their individual situations as well as encouraged them to embrace adversity for the growth that comes along with it

John was a fantastic keynote speaker at our annual Statewide Substance Use Disorder Conference. We greatly appreciated his enthusiasm, his interest and knowledge of our work, and his passion to inspire others. He was able to connect with our audience in ways we could not imagine. In the midst of planning our conference, the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, and we had to make a sudden change to our program. John was not only able to adapt his presentation to the new digital format, but he excelled in doing so. We could not have had a better, more motivational, and more effective presenter.

Rave Reviews from our attendees for John Register. Thank you for the training your provided at our 2021 Army Community Service Strategic Planning Conference. Your training on Amputating Fear: From Mindset to Mindsight - Embracing the New Normal was exactly the right amount of inspiration, self-discovery, and mindfulness we needed as a team. Your delivery style, use of technology and the Mentimeter surveys kept our audience engaged throughout the training. Thank you for making our conference a success. We look forward to working with you again.

John was amazing to work with! He tailored his keynote to include information about our company culture and left our audience feeling inspired. John is an amazing storyteller. His ability to captivate an audience even via zoom in impressive. Even with the tech issues, he rolled with the punches and was a complete superstar. We're so grateful for his time and hope to have him again in the future.

Hey, John: I just wanted to reach out and thank you again for coming to support us at Quicken Loans in Mackinac Island! The feedback we've received has been amazing and our team members have been talking non-stop about the experience! Thanks again for the work you do!

Thank you again John for your grace as we rescheduled your keynote from May of 2020 to October of 2021. We appreciate the way you connected with our attendees, linked to our 2021 Ignite charity - Jordan Thomas Foundation. And lastly, working with you has been a highlight this year. Thank you for your camaraderie on this event and with our AV team. You truly inspire everyone you meet.

"John: the views you shared with all of the U.S. Ambassadors' on being a "Champion of Diplomacy" was a special highlight of the Chiefs of Missions Conference. Your remarks on how to overcome adversity and strive for excellence are the very essence of what the Professional Ethos statement at the U.S. State Department demands of each of our U.S. Ambassadors."

John certainly knows how to capture the attention of an audience; an audience composed of anyone & everyone no matter their status in a company. His own personal stories & the way he works them into his powerful presentation not only makes an impact on a personal level, but more importantly on a professional level. Everyone walked away that day inspired & ready to put their best foot forward.

"John Register was the perfect speaker to have this year at our 2021 Veteran's Day event. As individuals and as a company we had been through such a tumultuous year, and John was able to emulate the right message and the energy to re-spark the light within all of us. His message was not only for our Veteran audience, but also for our disability community. He gave so much more meaning to the tagline "Hurdling from mindset to mindsight," and taught how to create a sense of belonging not just inclusion. We felt the passion that John has for diversity and change. We cannot thank him enough for taking the time to speak at our associate resource group event."
