"John is easily the best instructor I have had at D&T. He is very well prepared and able to kick start a discussion even when the class's energy seems low. He is filled with numerous examples from which to illustrate his point. He should be used as much as possible."
Deloitte & Touche - Key Account Manager

"John's excellent teaching ability is enhanced by his ability to bring together people from diverse viewpoints and enable them to share visions with one another. This leads to the tearing down of barriers so that people can work together in a supportive team environment to strive towards common goals. John asks "what if" and enables others to do the same."
Herman Miller - Director of Manufacturing

"John would be a good resource to use for scenario planning and team building in the new, post-org world. His process basically does this: the group lays out possible futures, both desired and undesired, then you walk through potential action plans under each possible future. So rather that fearing and being in denial on the undesirable outcomes, you actually come away with some confidence and game plans for dealing with the alternate futures."
Intel - Senior Engineering Manager

"John is the epitome of a facilitator. I am continuously impressed by John's abilities to gather divergent pieces of information from the group and synthesize all of it into action plans or planned for results that could be achieved by any layer of the corporation. He always makes all participants comfortable and at ease in dealing with issues that may be controversial and/or require a new degree of flexibility on their part."
