On Wednesday, April 18 our Kent Reads with Alumni Author series features KSU alum Norbert Lewandowski. Nobby is nationally recognized for his speeches, seminars, workshops and business coaching. From his career as a professional baseball player to founding one of the largest accounting firms in Northeast Ohio to his successful entrepreneurial ventures, Nobby's life experiences, both successful and challenging, result in humbling and inspiring presentations. Ironically, his biggest personal challenge to overcome has defied conventional thinking in becoming a career public speaker.
Determined to never let his speech challenge be an impediment to his success, Nobby has become a huge success in the arena of public speaking despite being a stutterer. He helps his audience understand that facing adversity and obstacles can result in building strong character and be the foundation of success. By facing his own challenges, Nobby has successfully leveraged what most would think to be a "liability" into a unique and impactful "asset".
The Kent Reads with Alumni Author series features the works of KSU alumni and offers a forum for the university community to discuss topics of interest. The read aloud series celebrates reading, books and libraries.
