“There are people who are consultants because they’re between something else, and there are people who have a natural proclivity to walk into a situation, understand it quickly, and propose a solution. That is what a good consultant can do and that is what John does.”
Eric Parsons Chairman, President & CEO/Standard Insurance
"Because of implementing John's process-based management system, I experienced the most tremendous growth as a person and as a professional in my life. The results were phenomenal in every aspect."
Marti Lundy General Manager/Moore Electronics
“John has had hands-on experience in consulting and corporate worlds and he has applied the consulting and advisory techniques that he’s honed to real life situations. Unlike many consultants, he has had the day to day operational responsibility in big organizations, and that’s fairly uncommon.”
A. Richard Walje President/Rocky Mountain Power
“It’s about change. Any change is difficult, and change is scary to people. They worry about their piece of the process going away, being given away… John helped us to articulate things and gain support for them. It was a monumental moment.”
Bob Harold CFO (retired) of Nike
“Through my work with John, I’ve built a language to use in communicating with my team… and it’s allowed me to accelerate the pace of changes. We share a common language, and it’s created efficiency and clarity.”
Dr. John Snyder Dental Director & CEO of Permanente Dental Associates, the Dentist of Kaiser Permanente
