FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Bob Goff, “recovering lawyer,” author, and motivational speaker, will deliver the Distinguished Lectures Committee’s next lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at vimeo.com/473916528.
Following the lecture, a limited number of students are invited to participate in a Q&A session with Goff starting at 8 p.m. Students wishing to be considered for the Q&A should sign up on HogSync by 11:59 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30.
A philanthropist and life coach, Goff has secured international acclaim as a professional motivator. Goff founded human rights organization Love Does, formerly known as Restore International, in 2003 with the goal of addressing the needs of children living in zones of conflict. Love Does currently operates schooling facilities and safe houses in Uganda, Nepal, India, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Goff's books Love Does, published in 2012, and Everybody Always, published in 2018, were both featured in The New York Times Best Seller lists. In 2016, Goff created the Dream Big Framework, a step-by-step guide for individuals to realize their full potential and pursue their dreams. Goff enlivens his audiences with optimism, and he equips them with the tools to achieve their own definition of success.
