"Liberty and Duty. Freedom and Responsibility. That’s the deal if you are an American.” John Borling speaks to the wisdom of his 4th great mentor, John Gardner, and to the recurring task of national renewal. John Gardner tasked the General to ‘paint with a broad brush’ and help solve America’s most pressing problems. One of the solutions is the value of military service being available to all of American young men (18-26). He challenges us to understand the costs and benefits and help implement the program.
From the ancient Greeks to present day, General Borling uses contemporary and entertaining example to deal with the vital subject of leadership. Designed to expand personal and professional performance. Highly interactive, mind stretching and fun.
Taps on the Walls (Based on his nationally recognized book): The incredible story of a book mentally created and kept memorized over 6 and ½ years of imprisonment in a communist prison camp. Life lessons abound and the audience will find strength, wisdom, sorrow, and laughter as John Borling talks to those dark and distant days at the Hanoi Hilton yet with a special relevance to today. Includes remarkable reminiscences after a White House Fellows delegation visit back to Vietnam in 2002 and selected readings (from memory of course). Books are available for signing or personalization after the event.
