John,
Congratulations on mustering the gumption to step out yourself into the light. Inspiring talk.
Inspiring, insightful, informative and intelligent. Nice!
very inspiring + well done. nice work John!!
great talk John!
John – I so enjoyed that. I loved seeing you onstage, especially since of course I know you.
You are an excellent speaker. You have charisma. You have great stage presence. It was a pleasure seeing you onstage, with such comfort.
The message was resonant, important, and inspiring. I’m looking forward to hearing what kind of questions your audience asked.
This is an excellent TEDtalk: clear, practical, relevant, insightful and challenging us, the viewer and audience, to transform as leaders in our own lives and communities. I must admit though, I was anticipating Pete Townshend to walk out at the end of the talk and play a killer rendition of “The Kids are Alright” on that piano….
This is terrific! Inspiring! Positive! And REAL! I especially love the cat-to-lion reframe and the definition and challenge for us to be leaders. Wonderful!
this was great. I have a similar path with frequent job changes, i call these character building experiences. very good to know that my path is not exclusive which I always knew. just good to see other voyagers out there.
good job John.
Wow John – I can’t tell you how timely this is for me right now as I try to figure out my next “reframe”. I hope that I am one of your “B”s and soon to be one of your “A”s.
Let’s talk soon. Good on ya!
Wonderful talk John. It is fantastic to see your take on reinvention- a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Thank you for being so authentic and transparent.
PS The cigarette break in 1955 still has me laughing..

Okay, the problem is that most of the young people in the world are waiting for the day when the Baby Boomers will go away and let us (Millennials/Generation Y) have a career.
Hey John absolutely loved this. I thought is was SO good that I have included this in one of my issues of the Midway Cafe Magazine! Looking forward to connecting soon.
John: You are probably aware of “Give & Take,” by Adam Grant at Wharton. Published earlier this year. Themes on networking, relationship-building fit in nicely as an extension to your message. Great Pete Townsend quote. Spot-on for me right now. (Boston’s Dropkick Murphys covered the tune in the recent past. Validates that it’s a timeless classic!)
Bravo John! Having known you since Pete wrote that song, a fav of mine too, I’m very glad to have watched you evolve, reframe, reinvent, yourself to another fav of mine: a TED stage. Your points were spot on for our generation, the generation/workforce trying to cope with us not going away. To all pre-Boomers: a number of John’s messages will become pertinent to you versus what for us came as a complete surprise, if not shock. This gives you an edge knowing that if you don’t know your age, how old would you be? Not only might you be working later in life than imagined (especially given forthcoming medical advances), but you can prepare now for that. We on the other hand, couldn’t and didn’t know the Rolling Stones would be selling out stadiums at 70+ or that us “Kids” would still be vibrant, creative, and wanting to (or having to), work. For those of us that get the “over-qualified” response, the next time you look in the mirror to see your Lion within, remember: Wisdom is the stuff of living. If I had to boil desired qualifications down to just one key resume item for a position I was trying to fill, I’d go with Wisdom that only a time-seasoned, creative, working warrior can accrue. IMHO, what the world needs now, is Wisdom, that time-in-the-game quality a person either has or doesn’t. And while there are degrees of Wisdom to be sure, I’ve yet to meet anyone who is over-qualified in this realm. “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” John! (PS: your C > B > A upgrade advise? Very Wise!)…
Great presentation! I learned about you from AGEIST, their newsletter specifically. As I’m moving into my next chapter; I’ll take all your advice to heart.
John, This talk applies to today just as it did 7 years ago. I really appreciate your 6-step-process, your truth and sense of humor.
Well now, today’s your lucky day John, as my birthday just reinvented me upping my anti into another framework. So, you see, it works! Something tells me exactly how to get framed, as well as chocolate that’s been made in the USA, that not every box of chocolate will have that printed on it. Also, since you have access to so many different johnDRAS maybe you can find a place for my skill sets within those Rolodex files. My specialties include both problem solving & the beauty of beauty’s aesthetics (depending on the day?). Your talk has inspired me to ask if you have any positions available as well? LOL. Has anyone ever told you that you have a resemblance to Will Farrell? Unless, of course that’s your reinvention. Cheers matey, Superfluous
2022, still very relevant.
