ANNUAL SESSION

Meet PCSO's 73rd Annual Session Keynote Speaker.......

John Naber

He earned four gold medals:
Now he teaches others
how to think and act
like an Olympic Champion.

In 1973, after not contesting his disqualification (over a meaningless infraction) during the US national swimming championships and World Team Trials (that denied him a likely gold medal at the 1973 World Championships), he was awarded the UNESCO/Pierre DeCoubertain Fair Play Trophy, for his strict adherence to the rules and devotion to the spirit of friendly and fair competition. 

The Six Pillars of Character:

• Trustworthiness
• Respect
• Fairness
• Caring
• Citizenship

“Pursuing Victory with Honor”

After combining their “Six Pillars of Character” curriculum into his own lecturing style, Naber produced a keynote speech called “Pursuing Victory with Honor,” which teaches audiences how to appreciate quality character and how to make the ethical standard a part of their everyday decision making process.

Naber's devotion to character building allows him to articulate the powerful and sensitive lessions of personal ethical development that are most visible in the sporting arena.  By applying the same training method he used in sports, Naber allows audiences across the globe to appropriate the top quality decision making skills and let's him share how to succeed in life without succumbing to the temptations that face us all.

Plan to join John at the Opening Luncheon on Friday, October 23, 2009 at 12:00 as he delivers his message on "Pursuing Victory with Honor".  Tickets will be available during registration in June.
