"John is a very engaging speaker and provides simple, "real-world" strategies to improve the leadership capability of your organization.  I have had the pleasure of hearing John speak on two different occasions and each time found him to be interesting, thought-provoking and in-touch with today's leadership challenges."  
Karen O'Connor, Principal Performance Consultant, Rockwell Collins.

"His message on the transformational leader was right on with how to transform managers into leaders.  He is an enthusiastic speaker, who captivated the audience and left them with a clear understanding of what it takes to be a transformational leader.  I over heard many in the group say how much they appreciated the workshop and that they will be able to become a a much better leader as a result.  Thanks John for sharing your expertise."  
Dan Robertson, CM, Professional Development Chairman, North Texas Council

"There were many things that I enjoyed.  Particularly, I enjoyed the teamwork challenge of building the bikes.  I also enjoyed the exercise of learning about our fellow board members.   I learned many things about my fellow board members that I might never have known about them.  A successful exercise!"
Keith C. Rinehart, Director of Recreation & Community Services, City of Saginaw

"John’s capability to communicate with young adults is stellar! His compassion for leadership training is obvious, and his ability to work with people is unique…he is always welcome at RYLA! Thanks, John!"
Mark Healy, Assistant General Coordinator, Rotary International

"I really believe you brought a lot to the program; from the team building exercise with the bikes, to your comments concerning the assessment of goal values (a, b, c) to your final statements relating to transforming the organization...everything was, in my estimation, very appropriate and helpful.  It is obvious that you are very professional in what you do, and you have an easy way about you that enables people to relate to you personally.  I know for a fact that many of our board members were impressed with your presentations because I heard them talking afterwards."
Wally Key, President, Saginaw Area Chamber of Commerce

"I enjoyed the day, & I thought all your information was very informative.  The information about three levels of customers really reminded me about the importance of keeping either a board member or a customer.  I feel we sign the member up or get the customer in the door but we forget about what it takes to keep the customer.  I also enjoyed your way of getting to know each other.  I have my list and I plan on typing it up and keeping it with my business card holder."
Janice S. Tims, Cottman Transmission
