JOHN BAUMANN’S INSPIRING MESSAGE OF EMBRACING CHALLENGES AND LIVING AN AMAZING LIFE GOES WELL BEYOND HIS 14-YEAR JOURNEY WITH PARKINSON’S

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

John Baumann continues to be challenged both personally and professionally and also continues to live an amazing life. John’s message touches and inspires people in all walks of life, whether attendees are experiencing life-changing challenges or not. John will be presenting on April 18, 2015 at the UF Health Parkinson’s Symposium in Jacksonville. John started experiencing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in his late 30’s and is now 54 years old. His message is simple, yet powerful: there are always things that you can do to have the best life possible if you reach deep down inside yourself and tap into your life force no matter what the challenge or adversity.

John is not just a living example of practicing what he preaches, but provides the inspiration to his audiences to follow in his footsteps. His no-nonsense, straight talk approach will motivate attendees to create their own personal plan to overcome challenges and live an amazing life whatever the circumstances. As one Chief Operating Officer put it, “John Baumann is an inspiration and a living example of making lemonade out of lemons. He inspired my sales force with his wisdom and confidence! He truly motivates with real life examples of how to conquer the world. I highly recommend.”

John was a successful attorney, on the faculty of the University of Louisville, and a semi-professional softball player before Parkinson’s forced him to give up all of these activities that, he thought at the time, defined him as a person. He has since reinvented himself into a critically acclaimed author, internationally recognized speaker and success workshop facilitator. Come hear John and be amazed by his physical appearance and influential, positive message. In fact, he describes himself as “Positively Unshakeable.” As an event organizer related, “John: How do I thank you – let me count the ways …. you came, you thrilled, you brought people to tears, you brought people to laughter, but, most importantly, you inspired.”

John has made presentations, with amazing reviews, among other places, in Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Burlington, Buffalo, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Houston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Louisville, Miami, Milwaukee, Nashville, New Orleans, New York City, Orlando, Palm Desert, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Regina , Rochester, Sioux Falls, St. Louis, St. Thomas, San Juan, Santa Fe, Tulsa, the World Parkinson Congress in Montreal and Malaysia.
