“John has a tremendous ability to keep his audience engaged and thoughtful about the topic at hand. He has seemingly limitless energy that pulls the listener in and keeps them on their toes. And what he says is not fluff; you get the sense it's something about which he has engaged in much thought. As a result, you don't catch yourself glancing at your watch and the session literally flies by. Excellent, excellent speaker.”
