WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Keith Hambly, CEO, Fred Victor Centre
“John provided excellent advice, facilitation and service when Fred Victor was entering into a complex Service Agreement with three community organizations. John was successful bringing all parties together in co-creating a lasting Agreement that holds each agency accountable along with ensuring we have clarity of roles and client service outcomes. Our agreement is as relevant today as when it was written four years ago.”
Kimahli Powell, CEO, Rainbow Railroad
“John has been providing consulting support to Rainbow Railroad for over five years in a variety of capacities: supporting our Board to strengthen its governance and providing strategic operational support at various stages of our rapid growth. We value John's expertise and years of experience and his skill in gently keeping busy people moving forward in a project, but equally important are his values, which are aligned with ours. For an organization like Rainbow Railroad that is essential.”
Peter Laugharn, President and CEO,
Conrad N. Hilton Foundation

“John was an incredible asset when we were putting together a collaboration agreement among three parties with very disparate starting points. He is an active listener who is able to synthesize key points, communicate with empathy and understanding, and carefully bridge gaps to bring people together. With John’s help we built a solid foundation for our future partnership that all parties felt comfortable with. I would recommend John without reservation.”
