Motivational Speaking Testimonials
“Coach Havlik’s talk to the swim teams was OUTSTANDING!! I can’t thank him enough for taking the time to share his many stories from his accomplished swimming career and then his nearly 30 years of honorable military service as an elite Navy SEAL officer! Coach’s message of “Don’t Ring the Bell”, even under the most stressful and arduous of conditions, was inspirational to all in attendance! It was an honor to have him speak!”
“
“John’s talk proved tremendously inspirational for the AFA men swimmers during our Christmas training trip to San Diego! His real-life stories, mentoring messages and career advice resonated well with both the swimmers and coaches! He seamlessly wove together specific life events from his WVU Hall of Fame swimming career and 29 years of military service as a Navy SEAL officer in a way that captivated his audience. It was both a joy to listen to him, and an honor to have him speak to the men!”
One-to-One Coaching Testimonial
“
“John brings to the table everything you’d expect from a seasoned Navy SEAL officer. Grit. Inspiration. Determination. The strength to stay the course even in challenging circumstances.
Beyond this, however, he is one of the rare leaders who possesses the “X factor” every truly successful leader has locked down. Humility. Curiosity. Introspection. Trust. An intuitive understanding of the kind of responsible and reasoned leadership that modern organizations so desperately need.
As I assumed critical new duties, John’s real-life stories and experiences allowed me to take action and transform my own leadership. Any leader (or future leader) will benefit from one-on-one discussions with John just like I did, and still do, to this day.”
