“You don’t always realize what you’re capable of until someone comes along to show you. John is that someone. He has an intuitive understanding of people and processes the likes of which I have truly never seen before. When I worked with him, I was always amazed at how easily he could solve problems that no one else could. He broke down every silo, ripped every process blocker to shreds, and left a lasting impact on the way we worked. There was always some hidden solution that we had been missing. John would see that solution in a minute. John will improve your business in ways you could never have imagined on your own. He has the type of rare wisdom that only comes with real, hard-earned experience. He can adapt to nearly every circumstance and leads so naturally you’ll wonder how your team ever functioned without him. I was always a writer; John helped me become a professional.”
