In 1998, Novak's 37 year-old wife, Cynthia, was killed when a man selling drugs and high on marijuana ran a stop sign and slammed into her car as she drove home.  She was seven months pregnant with their second child.  In an instant, everything changed, forever.  But from the ashes, Novak rebuilt a life for he and his 9 year-old son--turning shattered pieces into a mosaic of inspiration, determination, and success in all aspects of their lives.  Today, his message of hope, courage, and strength inspire people to move forward through adversity and never trade tomorrow's dreams for yesterday's nightmares.

Novak's signature presentation, Conquering Adversity, based on his book, "Conquering Adversity:  Six Strategies to Move You and Your Team Through Tough Times," is a motivating roadmap for corporate executives, high performing teams, education professionals, bereavement experts, or any group that wants to discover the inner hero in each of us.  This powerful, one-of-a-kind message will energize your spirit, motivate your mind, and take your professional and personal life to another level.  Contact us today about this keynote, conference opener/closer, retreat reflection, team training, organizational gathering, or special event speaking opportunity.
