The reason meeting planners choose John is that he delivers. He does his homework and gets to know the specifics of industries and audiences. He makes the instant "audience connection" that is crucial in engaging a group to accept and absorb what a speaker communicates. John's versatility in relating to any size or type audience is well known in the speaking world. His uniquely moving and informative messages are always tailored to the people with whom he's sharing them. His audiences laugh and learn their way to a deeper understanding of what they care about; their minds and hearts are touched so they can see more clearly and reconnect with their core reasons for being at their best.

This comment from the Executive Director of a branch of the Academy of Family Physicians sums it up well: "I was amazed to see how you got the whole crowd involved and really got them talking, but more importantly, how you got them to listen...by the end of your session, they were as convinced as I that the art of communication deals not so much in what we have to say, but how we respond to what we hear."

John then handed the baton to the company leaders, making the meeting feel seamless to the 400 people attending.
