National speaker to talk May 29 about joy, purpose at Monroe Center

MONROE — Craig Zablocki believes joy and purpose can come with aging.

A national motivational speaker, Zablocki will present at noon May 29 at the free National Senior Health & Fitness Day at Monroe Center for Healthy Aging, 15275 S. Dixie Highway. Registration is required.

“We’ll look at the qualities of kids and see how we still have those qualities,” said Zablocki, who is based in Denver.

Once a high school teacher, Zablocki said he performed in an improv show, and that experience eventually led to a public speaking career. Today, he addresses more than 50 groups a year, everyone from business leaders to law enforcement officers and farmers. He’s been called the “chiropractor for the soul.”

Zablocki said his talk at the Monroe Center will be real.

“It’s not scripted and not a PowerPoint deal,” he said. “We’ll laugh; we’ll connect. It’s engaging and also spontaneous. I’m really looking forward to coming out.”

Sandie Pierce, director of the Monroe Center, heard Zablocki speak and invited him to the center.
