SOME FEEDBACK

An absolute powerhouse, with superb communication and project management skills
Guy Pope-Mayell Managing Director Cookie Time Group

We asked John to customise his “you are your brand” keynote presentation to best connect it with the work our frontline staff do every day.  It was obvious he’d done his homework; he understood the really important work our people do, how they touch the lives of New Zealanders in a powerful way, and the significant difference they can make. 

Focussing in on “you are your reputation” he helped provide insight that each and every one of us has our own personal brand.  He challenged us to bring our best selves to our work each day, and provided tools to assist in our personal brand promise.

The enthusiasm and energy he brought was great!  Across the two forums he presented to, people left feeling inspired.  Johns willingness to change things up, the instinctive way he ensured his messages complemented our forum theme was awesome!
Wendy Chisnall, Regional Director, Ministry of Social Development.

 Isaac – Ministry of Social Development Manager and business owner

John brought a very professional approach to the publicity and PR for our national event which resulted in nationwide exposure for the event and our sponsors in print, on radio and TV. We would never have achieved this without John and his enthusiastic media management. He also provided some fantastic voice and MC work which further demonstrated his versatility and value to the event. He did his research and was extremely well prepared, with his efforts exceeding our expectations.
