Professor Burton H. Klein …

A stellar career as a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, schools' administrator followed by an award-winning college teaching career … Donald R. Stoddard Faculty Award of Excellence (8/12/06, Strayer University), Burton Klein Award for Distinguished Service (12/3/02, The College of New Jersey).

However, for 20 years, Burton Klein's career has been complemented by an average of over 100 speaking engagements per year. Above and beyond these engagements are cruise-ship lectures on Crystal, Norwegian, and Oceania cruise lines.

In March 2013, Burton began a Philadelphia television lecture series on Comcast Cablevision, Channel 53, and FIOS | Verizon, Channel 21.

Professor Klein is the former president of the prestigious Schoolmen's Club of Philadelphia and the English Club of Philadelphia. Many of his published articles appear in "The Social Studies" and "The Science Teacher."

With ethos, pathos, and logos, Klein's highly unique presentations feature substance, the dynamics of power speaking, and a blend of humor to touch the hearts of his vast following.

If one is seeking an essay-type presentation to be read, do not contact Professor Klein. If one desires a bland presentation with a clock-watching audience, do not request Burton Klein for your group. If one thinks "um" and "ah" are part and parcel for a speaker's delivery, Klein is not your person.

Based on Klein's college teaching, as well as his world travels with wife Sandra, and his school-system administrative career, his 1,018 colorful presentations encompass the following areas:

• Travel …
• Enhancing the Novel – citation of many components of novel writing toward novel-reading enjoyment . . .
• Aristotelian Logic – teaches one to win the battles of life in today's world …
• Power Speaking – leave the room on the road to oratorical successes …
• Leadership – components of – and how to make them part of one's style …
• Getting the Job – the unusual, ethical, and dynamic methods to gain employment …
• Grammar, Come Alive – Indeed it will!

Along with Professor Klein's college teaching and voluminous speaking engagements, he can also be found on Philadelphia radio.

With the ethics of ethos, the passion of pathos, and the reasoning of logos, Klein is the man for the next corporate event, the keynote at the college graduation, or whatever one's speaking needs might be.

"On certain Thursday mornings the Abington Free Library sparkles. That's when Professor Burton Klein of Strayer University and The College of New Jersey and a former Philadelphia schools' administrator lends his vivacious energy to a multi-faceted series of talks.

On those mornings the Shorday Room holds comfortable chairs, a well-dressed man and only the posterboard on an easel that he has illustrated, but the most talented and engrossing actors don't need many props."
