Doing what "Most People Don't"Â
Thank you again for the opportunity to be considered for the Blood Centers of America event on Wednesday, May 19, 2026 in Universal City, California.
After reviewing BCA and its member organizations, and based on what you shared about the audience, the most natural and impactful focus for this keynote would be:
Most People Don’t… But YOU Do.
This session is designed specifically for professionals who continue to give to others, make the extra effort, and carry responsibility that most people never see—or fully understand.
Keynote Focus
At its core, this talk is about recognition, reinforcement, and renewal.
It highlights:
Why the work BCA leaders and member organizations do matters more than ever
How “doing the extra” becomes normal for people in mission-driven roles—even when it’s heavy
The importance of appreciating themselves, not just the outcomes or the mission
Reconnecting to the personal WHY behind the work—because most people don’t choose this path, but they did
The session is meant to feel good—energizing, affirming, and motivating—while reminding leaders why their commitment, consistency, and care make a real difference in their communities and across the nation’s blood supply.
Tone & Experience
This is not a lecture or a push to “do more.” It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and feel seen. The stories, language, and takeaways are designed to reinforce pride, purpose, and perspective—without minimizing the seriousness of the work.
Participants typically leave feeling:
Appreciated rather than depleted
Motivated without being pressured
Reconnected to why they chose this work in the first place
Event Alignment
Audience: Senior leaders from BCA member organizations
Format: In-person keynote (45–60 minutes)
Date: Wednesday, May 19
Location: Universal City, CA
Investment Range: $10,000–$15,000, plus travel related expenses (includes customization and preparation)
I also include a brief pre-event alignment call to ensure the message reflects BCA’s culture, priorities, and the realities facing blood centers today.
I’d be honored to deliver a message that recognizes the extraordinary commitment of this group and reminds them that what they do truly matters—because most people don’t.
Warm regards,
Bart
