Comments from Event Sponsors:
"John's engaging presentation style and revolutionary model transformed a room full of semi-panicked, affluent baby boomers into a hopeful, reassured group. He turned a transition that most people find complex, frightening, and overwhelmingly into a journey of self-discovery and opportunity."

"John was a star among stars in our college lecture series. He completely captivated a large, diverse audience of mid-life and older adults from the community, college faculty and adult students. In their evaluations of the presentation, attendees repeatedly commented on John's command of the several fields encompassed in planning for retirement, his skillful and entertaining use of visual materials, and his delightful manner of speaking. What Color is Your Parachute? For Retirement is a wonderful book, but John in person is even better. We can hardly wait for an occasion to bring him back."
Jacquelyn Mattfeld, PhD
"John was one of our best speakers! His session not only fully held the attention of some of the most experienced and expert financial planners in the country, but he added another layer of insight to their professional awareness. Attendees came to me wishing we would have given him more time and told me to make sure National Association of Personal Financial Advisors gets him to return!"
National Conference Chair, NAPFA
"John's depth of retirement planning knowledge is amazing, and his range of topics is unmatched. More importantly, he connects with our diverse employee audiences, and finds ways to make the content relevant to them. We have had many national speakers in our corporate programs over the years, and I count John as among the very best."
EBN Retirement Educator of the Year
"John was a featured speaker at our annual client retreat for advanced financial planners. He earned high praise from all of the attendees because of his thought-provoking and timely message, engaging style, and innovative presentation materials. John made a huge contribution to the success of our conference, and we definitely plan to invite him to present at future events."
President, Money Quotient, Inc.
“John's simple, positive approach to life planning makes participants eager to learn more, and makes me eager to invite him back over and over. Perhaps his impact is best summed up by this comment from a recent participant: ‘Thanks for arranging such a qualified person like John Nelson to talk on the subject!"
