Several managers in our management development class made it a point to seek me out with feedback on yesterdays presentation. The term "excellent" sums it up.

- Human Resources Director, St. Vincent Charity Hospital
Great! I thought it was one of the best sessions I've attended. Got right into it. Gave out information we could start using right away. Very well organized. Effective handouts. Nice interaction. Excellent. Great ideas. Professional presentation. What could have been a dry topic was interesting and easy-to-follow. Jack's conversational tone kept my attention. Great ideas and tools. Jack brings a wealth of experience to the workshop and presents his material in an energetic, playful way. He engages the group in a respectful way and appears supportive of various class participants.

I more than enjoyed the Project Management Workshop... I found it be excellent. Jack not only gave us information, but he helped us to put the information into practice...what a speaker!!! Thanks for the opportunity to learn in such a wonderful and concrete way.

Over the past several years I've worked with Jack on a number of initiatives -- one in particular was a group that had become very stale in their approach to problem solving in the design process. How to get a group off 'automatic' calls for a definite push--and Jack did just that. He helped this group open their minds to fresh possibilities, and did it in a very entertaining way. At the end of the day we had new ideas, new options, new possibilities to explore.

For a major reorganization project, Jack was selected from a group of consultants. His job was to work with the Executive team to plan, organize, and implement a restructuring of services, infrastructure and operations. Out of this process we were able to develop a much improved organizational model, a budget for the model, and create a moneymaking Administrative Services Organization. He successfully delivered every promise from the proposal in a manner which greatly exceeded our expectations. I greatly appreciate his art of bringing out the creativity and initiative that continued to serve as a model for other things as well as that led us to make a lot of money as well.

I have worked with Jack for over 15 years in a variety of corporate client projects and find his approach unique. His style enables people to take a more creative and thus productive approach to their work. He is able to build a learning and innovation environment that is practical, energizing and involved. I highly recommend his facilitation and project expertise.
