Recommendation:

 “For someone of such notable knowledge and experience, John brings a surprising humility, warmth and openness to his business relationships. He works alongside clients to achieve the best possible results rather than preaching from a distance. John’s enthusiasm for creating strengths-based organisations under the principles of positive psychology is utterly infectious. He helps others improve by building them up rather than knocking them down. In focussing on the strengths of his clients, he removes any barriers to openly exploring perceived weaknesses and setting manageable plans for positive growth.” Karina Butera PhD.
