“Your presentation, Rising Seas and Shifting Shorelines, was captivating and well-received by all attendees, several commented that it was a highlight of the conference.  As a result our perceptions, analysis, and decisions about future systems will be better informed.”

“Delray Beach has used John Englander both for public outreach to the community and as counsel to city staff as we tackle the challenges of increasing coastal flooding. His explanations and guidance are extremely clear and powerful. We recommend him to other communities facing the same challenge.”

“IMarEST invited John to give our prestigious Stanley Gray lecture in London. It was one of the best lectures I have attended in my life. It was unusually well attended and highly engaging to the audience at our Institute. His expert advice has helped our members to understand the critical issues and define a way forward to address them. Top class speaker!”

“I heard John’s riveting keynote address at the National Trust for Historic Preservation conference and knew we needed to bring him to Annapolis to share his clear and compelling message with the citizens and decision makers in our historic state capital.  His presentation to our diverse audience of municipal leaders, business owners, government staff, media and the public helped everyone understand how we all must begin to plan and adapt to higher sea levels.”

“Outstanding!  Every public agency attorney should attend this presentation.”

“ASFPM, in partnership with NOAA, put on Coastal GeoTools. While there were a lot of compelling presentations on combating sea level rise, perhaps none struck more of a chord with our audience than the excellent keynote by John Englander.”

“John Englander brought a fresh and compelling perspective to our discussions around climate change.  He is an engaging speaker who took the time to understand the audience and present a rather complicated argument in a lively and understandable way.”

“Best National Association of Environmental Managers (NAEM) Conference keynote we’ve ever had!”

“A clear and compelling story of sea level rise – where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re headed.  Mr. Englander’s compelling keynote focused attention on a major issue of our time.”

“At the 2013 Climate Leadership Conference, John was the highest rated amongst more than 70 speakers!”

“This excellent presentation and workshop should be given at Planning Departments and City Commissions in every potentially affected municipality in the country.”

“John spoke at the Agora Financial Investment Symposium, a very large event that attracts both a star-studded speaker list as well as nearly 1,000 very savvy attendees. His presentation was extremely engaging and informative. The room was jam-packed when he took the podium, and I even heard attendees discussing his ideas well into the evening hours. If you are not familiar with John’s research, you should be.”

“Best packaged explanation of climate change and sea level rise I have seen.”

“John’s one-day workshop to our Vermont Telephone Company was one of the highlights of the year. John helped us better comprehend some of the confusing North American data about global warming, rising sea levels, and changing patterns of fresh water availability, and what this data suggests for U.S. and Canada urban real estate investing. John was friendly and patient; and in a balanced and non-partisan way, he clearly summarized the data, making clear that ideologies and politics are largely irrelevant to the macro trends. Every family business with a 100-year horizon could gain a lot from a John Englander Day.”

“John Englander presented thought-provoking, science-based information in a way that was very accessible for an audience with a diversity of backgrounds.”

“John Englander has the ability to explain the facts -- how, what and why we are facing climate change [and rising sea levels].  It is presented in a clear and concise way… even the doubters of climate change will start to re-evaluate their position.”

“John Englander’s passionate yet objective analysis of our rising sea levels is public science at its best.  He wisely avoids the politics surrounding this issue, while driving home the staggering implications of rising sea levels for some generations to come. Englander is the right person at the right time to convey this message.”

“John Englander's workshop really opened our eyes to how sea level rise is going to impact our business interests.  We are now better prepared to minimize our risk exposure in the near and long term.  Any organization that has assets near the coast or relies on other businesses that do should take advantage of Mr. Englander's highly insightful and valuable program.”

“We want to give you a great big Thank You for the illuminating talk you gave for the League. You were able to explain things about Sea Level Rise so clearly and powerfully. The attendees were very grateful as are we from the League. Well done!”

“As terrific as his book is, Englander is an even better public speaker.  I've had the privilege of attending several of his lectures in which he presents highly complex science in a conversational style.  Each of his presentations is unique so it meets the interests of his audience.”
