I worked with John at Capital One for many years. John leverages his structured thinking skills to make presenters look like they’ve got their stuff together. Presenters are more polished, but not overdone. John helps people be more influential, get their ideas across in a more effective way, and even help them structure their thinking. John works with people who have great ideas, but can’t structure them, or put their idea in the context of what everyone needs to know. John teaches PowerPoint, but the more powerful part is how he helps you get your stories across using visualizations.

I had taught the same courses for several groups. After I took John’s class, I updated my material using John’s techniques and suggestions. One attendee coordinated a second round of classes. In this second round, I used the new sides. After the class that attendee came up to me and said YOU HAVE REALLY UPPED YOUR GAME. To be honest, I took the credit. But in fairness nothing had changed about the class but the slide deck using John’s techniques.

John has a knack for pulling together disparate information and publishing it through the medium organizations use to sell ideas and tell a compelling story. I’ve seen him use this to drive accelerated change in organizations. He uses data and analytics to generate compelling insights that get others to think differently and drive change. He then is able to translate the strategy into specific deliverables that have a practical implication. He can work at the 50,000-foot level, then translate that to action.
