What our clients are saying

Caleb Breakey

Founder and CEO

Renown Publishing

I first met John when my small ghostwriting agency was just beginning to expand. Looking back on our first interaction, I know now that I couldn't have connected with a better person or mentor for my small business.

John wears special X-ray goggles that see EXACTLY what entrepreneurs must do to succeed—and then he keeps you accountable until you're more successful than you thought possible. Strategic action steps, accelerated and predictable growth, overcoming stress ... you name it, John makes it happen for you.

And I'm not just talking about financial success (though that's certainly a part of it). I'm also talking about personal success. There's a difference, and John knows which one is most important.

You cannot meet John and not experience life change. Why? Because of who he is. Because of the way he lives and the compass that guides him. You cannot be around him and not feel the sheer strength of the code he lives by. It's humanity at its best.

If you have the opportunity to befriend John or work with him in any capacity, then consider yourself blessed and expect your life to change for the better. He comes with my highest recommendation.

John is an out of the box thinker with an IQ that is off the charts. More importantly his EQ is equally off the charts. It is his ability translate somewhat abstract data points and translate them into something actionable that moves people and teams in a positive direction. If you don’t want to have someone challenge you or your team don’t contact John! If instead you want to build your team and move to the next level he is your guy!

John worked with my North American District and Regional management teams on their leadership skills. In that time both morale and productivity has gone up as a direct result of John's mentoring. One of the side benefits of this mentoring was the ability of our team to deal with difficult customers. In a 500 plus Franchise network this skill is invaluable.

I have known John for the best part of 15 years and I have used him on numerous occasions delivering specialty leadership and sales programs and and have never been disappointed. His high energy innovative presentations keep the participant engaged, and John does his homework delivering relevant information specific to our needs, maximizing growth for our Franchisees.

I would recommend John for any size business whether 10 employees or 10,000, and I will certainly use his services in the future.

John is an incredible leader, mentor and friend. I had the pleasure of working with John and he shared a wealth of direction, mentorship and guidance along the way. The skills John poses to create and nurture relationships are something we could all learn from.

John's ability to motivate and help you understand the question is uncanny. If you are in search of someone to help you team, company or you personally, I would most certainly choose John! I hired John and his company to help provide leadership for a franchise operations team of business development managers. We invested in a 6 month long program and the growth seen in my team was incredible. John used his skills to drive us to dig deep, understand our answers and invest time in being better at all of our roles in the organization. I fully expect the skills John help hone and uncover in my team will continue to drive success throughout our company. Thank you John for all you did for us! I fully expect we will be doing business again very soon.

A true leader and amazing person!

John Hawkins is an excellent communicator with a phenomenal message! I was fortunate enough to meet John in June 2016 at our company meeting. I took to his messages and developed a relationship that lasts with him to this day.

John will make you think. He makes me think every time we talk. If you don't want to think, John is not your guy. John makes you see things from a different perspective. If you want the status quo outlook, John is not your guy.

If you want an awesome leader that shares thoughts, ideas, and suggestions that can make you and your company reach new heights, higher than any summit you've reached thus far, just talk to John Hawkins. Your employees will be better employees, your team a better team, and your organization a better organization. John is the real deal and is establishing himself more and more every day as an innovative leader. If you have a chance to interact with him, don't miss the opportunity!

I wholeheartedly endorse John and his methodology for enhancing leadership at both individual contributor as well as management positions. He brings a teaching process which is tailored to the needs of your team, not a “I wrote the book, we do it this way” approach. He has the ability to assess team needs quickly and accurately and then provide easy to adopt strategies which can be career enhancing and life changing.

It’s rare to find people that inspire and motivate you, and John is one of them. His ability to guide you to any topic is impressive. He will not give you all the answers, he will encourage you to think and formulate them. At the end of any conversation, you will be motivated to the next one, and will have your own plan to improve; personally and professionally.

WOW - we had John come to Dawson Community College and he was awesome!! His preparation, before the event, was awesome. He spent hours on the phone with me so we could orchestrate the the best active presentation for the college's in-service.

The day was one of the best trainings I have ever witnessed. He is straight forward, you get what he says you will get and he is there to help you on many levels.

He spent the day working with the different levels of leadership. He understands people and helps you see how you can live "excellence" at a whole new level everyday.

He left "empty" and we were filled - it was truly a feast!!

We are working with John to come back for more leadership and individual coaching.
