More About the Author

John Blumberg started his career as a CPA at Arthur Andersen, but shifted his focus from numbers to people and spent 14 years in human resources, including worldwide recruiting responsibilities at Andersen.

In 1996, John left behind a firm and a career he loved to follow his dream to go into professional speaking. Today, as a professional speaker, John has been featured in keynotes and workshops in 10 countries ... and continues to speak with corporations, professional associations and universities across America. His presentations most often focus on working with organizations who want to develop leaders of substance and build value with values.

John has received the designation of Certified Speaking Professional from the National Speakers Association. The CSP is the highest earned designation in the speaking profession and held by less than 10% of the members of the International Federation of Professional Speakers.

John is the author of a best-selling book titled Silent Alarm. It is a parable of hope for busy professionals! It has been endorsed by leadership gurus such as Ken Blanchard and Tim Sanders. For some, it is a message of inspiration ... and for others, a wake-up call for their very survival. For everyone ... it is an experience you won't soon forget!!

John is also the author of GOOD to the CORE: Building Value with Values, published by Simple Truths (www.simpletruths.com). This simple little book will challenge you right to your core. Have any doubts if you are good to the core? This brand new release will leave you with no doubt ... but a lot to think about!

5.0 out of 5 stars A quick read but lasting lessons, September 23, 2005
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Silent Alarm: A Parable of Hope for Busy Professionals (Hardcover)
From the first chapter, this book grabbed me. The lessons of this "parable" are both timeless and exactly what we need for today. The examples used make you feel like it was written by your next door neighbor who has lived through many of the same events that you have. The story may end but I am sure you will not forget the lessons learned from this little book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silent Alarm Rings Loud and Strong, May 9, 2006
This review is from: Silent Alarm: A Parable of Hope for Busy Professionals (Hardcover)
While an easy read, it is not a book to be read in one night. This thought provoking and life altering experience through the eyes of a high strung, bottom line driven personality will resonate with all individuals seeking a better way.

Choose which is most important to you. If is is God and your faith first, family second, job third, you may well be on your way to a truly successful lifestyle. Consider the alternative of an empty, greedy, bottom line way of life. How many true friends do you find there? How many "friends" will be there in your greatest time of need?

These and many other moral and ethical questions can be answered if you take the time to search yourself. Read slowly and deliberately.

You may just find the person you lost so many years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with valuable lessons!, February 2, 2006
This review is from: Silent Alarm: A Parable of Hope for Busy Professionals (Hardcover)
Being a "busy professional" as many of us are, this story is an excellent reminder of how quickly our fortunes can change. Besides being EXTREMELY difficult to put down, I found Silent Alarm to provide meaningful perspective on making the most of our journey in life. Silent Alarm is a truly engaging book and a great "wake up call" for everyone!
