"[John] was far from being the type of motivational speaker whom I have seen around so many times; the self-centered, guru-like type of lecturer that I did not want to bring into the UniQuest journey.

John spent close to a day with our 100 UniQuest participants. He connected with them, encouraged them, and stirred their thoughts and emotions...He is in the best sense of the word: authentic. Listening to him, you simply have to relate to him. There is no escape, no place to hide..."
