"I initially got to know about John's HR consulting services through a recent one-on-one coaching experience.  From there I asked him to help us seek leadership alignment in my company and also new organization structures, corporate goals, KPI's and employee development. To make all this happen he interviewed each of our leaders, including me, and came back with a comprehensive, executable plan that included a lot of things that we hadn't thought about before.  John provides exceptional value when it comes to this kind of work.  I'm looking forward to working more with him."

"John and I worked together on an employee wellness project that lasted over a year. The project included a survey and subsequent results and actions that proved critical to the company by gauging the energy levels of over 10K+ employees across the globe. As project leader, he helped our team consistently achieve our goals and project targets. He set realistic parameters and gave us clear instructions and feedback. John instilled pride, confidence, and positive energy for everyone on the project team. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again. If you have the chance to work with John, take it!"

"Recently John led a 3-hour session for people with felony backgrounds who are planning to re-enter the work world. The topic was job search: where to start, how to look for a job, personal brand, resume writing, interviewing and self-advocacy. The participants loved it and so did I. John is a thoughtful, gifted and charismatic facilitator who brought to light new knowledge through questions and answers and full audience participation. I would recommend John anywhere."

"John and I set the direction for a cross functional learning and development team that provided significant value for our global IT organization. Through our time together, I learned the power of boldly leading teams across organizational boundaries and “thinking big” to make an impact. That experience has continued to impact the way I lead when bringing people together to accomplish great things in my role as an IT executive. I’d highly recommend John as a leader or facilitator for any high-impact program."
