Testimonials

"I just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU for speaking at our event on Monday. You have an awesome stage presence and ability to relate to the audience. Your message needed to be heard by so many people in the room and it’s always more digestible when it comes from a third party instead of our organization."

"John’s boot camp advice helps leaders find, develop and retain a productive work force that maximizes your profit in business.  He deals in the real world, dealing with real employees.  It’s apparent he is not offering advice to run a day-care center."

“John’s approach is direct and to the point.  There is no ambiguity.  All leaders can benefit from his ideas to get better, faster results from a company’s # 1 resource - their employees!”

 “The principles you’ll walk away with have been proven in real-world experience.  They're practical, and they come straight from the daily battles of working with employees and leaders”
