Mr. Craig Zablocki

Craig left us with the clear path for taking ourselves lightly and our work seriously’!” -Randi Michael, Project Director at DNV GL (Hospital Accreditation Agency)

Making a profound difference for nearly three decades, speaker Craig Zablocki has addressed a million and a half people internationally, in all 50 states, and across industries. Craig’s captivating message has significantly impacted the healthcare arena, from frontline caregivers, to hospital administrators and medical researchers. Craig’s authentic, highly interactive approach draws out the highest in each person and organizations.
Craig’s programs have been characterized as “simple wisdom wrapped in humor”!
Craig’s work with hundreds of healthcare groups and organizations includes the Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, National Association of State Veteran Homes Administrators, dozens of state long-term healthcare associations, numerous discipline-specific organizations, Oncology Nursing Certification Organization’s National Conferences., National WIC and numerous state WICs, behavioral health, biomedicine, DNV-GL (hospital accreditation), many nursing associations (Oncology, Pediatrics, perioperative…), and social worker associations. The CA Association of Health Facilities, and many others, cite Craig as “the best speaker they’ve ever had our of a hundred collective speakers”. As a returning, full-day leadership trainer to the Medical University of S.C., College of Pharmacy, Craig has impacted multiple classes of pharmacists.
Bottom line…Craig finds that we humans get stuck and need help to get unstuck. So, Craig takes his keen observation of human behavior and simple, practical wisdom–distills it through his lion-hearted passion, his highly interactive style and his spontaneous positive humor. He is a catalyst for change. Craig helps organizations to thrive, by simply seeing the obstacles that keep them stuck. It can happen in a moment, or in the course of an hour!
Craig works with organizations that want (1) a culture of fun, (2) are open to creative innovation, and (3) don’t want to ride on their laurels. Craig finds that world-class organizations want to be challenged, to be called into their authenticity, to take their task seriously and themselves lightly.
A past inner-city teacher prior to speaking, Craig was the first outside speaker invited to address the students at Columbine after the 1999 tragedy. Craig was voted (twice) in the top 2% of the best 150 speakers in the U.S. by the National Society of Human Resource Managers (14,000 voting members).
