John Manzella Speaking Topics

Global Risks, New Realities and Ripple Effects

The United States and Europe face many critical risks and realities that are shaping our future. These include: (1) rising trade protectionism, Chinese challenges, supply chain concerns, the direction of globalization, and the need to achieve access to the world’s 8 billion consumers; (2) demographic shifts, worsening labor shortages, immigration concerns, and the need to automate; and (3) rising inequality, growing populism, divisive polarization, threats to capitalism, and the need for balance.

What should we do? This engaging program explores these issues, cuts through the clutter, and offers strategies to navigate the dangers ahead. Plus, it connects the dots between declining fertility rates and living standards, examines the Brexit blunder, and reveals Chinese dangers, unmasks Chinese vulnerabilities, and delves into its unsustainable trajectory.

Economic Trends, Global Trade, Labor and What’s Ahead

Pandemic-related realities and the fallout from the Russia-Ukraine war continue to impact the U.S. and global economy, while complexities with China add new risks. Combined with the energy revolution, shifting demographics, and challenges with the USMCA and Europe, these issues are shaping our future. What does this mean to you? This invaluable program analyzes economic trends, examines trading relationships, reveals Chinese dangers, and explores critical issues involving labor, skills, automation, and immigration. Additionally, it offers survival strategies and provides insight on what's ahead.

American Realities, Critical Risks and Survival Strategies

The key to American free-market capitalism lies in our ability to innovate new products and services and deliver them worldwide. This requires pro-globalization policies, an educated labor force, and an environment that incentivizes entrepreneurs to take risks that create new companies, technologies, and jobs. However, critical risks stand in the way. (1) New technologies and globalization have tremendously improved our standard of living, but many have been left behind that support far left and right populists who may ultimately threaten capitalism. (2) Unless addressed, shifting demographics will translate into fewer consumers and worsening labor shortages. And (3) the pandemic, Russian war, and Chinese tensions have forced companies to continually assess risks that impact supply chains and globalization. This stimulating and insightful program explores these issues, analyzes economic trends, delves into labor and Chinese challenges, and provides strategies to prepare for what's ahead.

Economic Trends, Globalization and the Need to Improve American Capitalism

Rising protectionism, populism and inequality, along with economic trends and the lessons of Covid-19, are having a profound impact on the United States, globalization and American capitalism. Plus, skills deficits, immigration issues, and tensions with China are severely affecting industry. In addition, advances in automation and digitalization, and the need for lifelong learning are adding greater complexity. This thought-provoking program peers into the chain reactions of what’s unfolding, reveals the myths and realities of globalization, and examines the need to improve American capitalism so we don't lose it.

John Manzella Reviews

  • From start to finish, the whole team was amazing!
    MasterCorp - Apr 25 2022

  • Great job team!
    MasterCorp - Apr 26 2021

  • It is always a pleasure to work with the AAE team, they are friendly and professional. I can trust them to help me pull of a great event.
    Calvin College - Feb 02 2021

  • John’s presentation at the New England Relocation Association conference was the sharpest and most insightful explanation of the current macro economy I’ve heard. He doesn’t just “talk the talk,” he thoughtfully has mastered the factors that have led to where we are today, and understands what must be done to initiate growth in the United States and world economy. Importantly, he can convey these complex ideas in a straight-forward, clear and concise manner — something few of his peers can do. John is engaging, likable and pensive. Several members of our association ecstatically declared how impressed they were with his presentation. He should be on CNBC and CNN every day.
    RE/MAX Partners - Oct 28 2018

  • John's presentation at the National Poultry and Food Distributors Association's Fall Meeting left me thirsting for more! His ability to connect the dots between seemingly dissimilar economic influences and explain how, in fact, they are all woven into the same global economic fabric was outstanding. His content was enhanced by delivery that was clear, concise and easily understood.
