Why do we drift away from our values and our integrity? Is it inevitable? Does it happen to everyone? And what can we do when it happens?

John Blumberg joins me to answer these questions. John is a national speaker and author and his thought leadership on integrity deepens and broadens our understanding and experience the concept of integrity.

This conversation will make you think!

About the Guest:

John G. Blumberg is a national speaker and author. His thought leadership on integrity may very well deepen and broaden how you personally experience the concept of integrity.  

In 1996, John left behind an 18-year career he loved … one that had taken him from CPA to worldwide recruiting responsibilities at Arthur Andersen.  

Over the two decades that followed, John has evolved his general focus on leadership and culture … to a laser focus on precisely what fuels them. 

John is the author of four books. His most recent two books are both titled Return On Integrity. One of them was written specifically for the leader-at-the-top of any organization and is subtitled The New Definition of ROI and Why Every Leader Needs to Know It. The other was written for everyone … regardless of title, role or stage of life. It is subtitled, The Individual’s Journey to the One Essential Thing.  

Leading business author Patrick Lencioni describes Return On Integrity as “the most comprehensive compelling guide to core values I’ve ever seen. It’s a treasure for leaders who understand the importance of culture.”
