“John is an excellent trainer. He knows the material inside out and peppers the delivery with his own pertinent, and relevant, anecdotes which bring the content to life. He welcomes discourse with himself and attendees and uses these asides to further develop our learning and subsequent application. I highly recommend John and the bootcamp to any and all aspiring Chartered Managers."
Gregory Kemble, University of Bristol
