“Thanks again, John, for all you do for Remo and, more importantly, the individuals you work with.”

Brock Kaericher, President – Remo, Inc.

**The links you made with the leadership teachings was extremely powerful to put it all in the right context so that we became aware of what was actually happening.

It's with a smile that I congratulate your success of touching our spirits, hearts, and souls on that memorable day in Orlando.

The activity was the symbol of "Unity by Choice" for me.  Our internal drive to elevate to our individual callings converged on one beat, one melody, one rhythm toward the pulse of the John Maxwell Team.”

“Again, many thanks for a fabulous program for our Youth Leadership Cherokee class!  I received many compliments from parents of the students and their counselors since Tuesday.  The students are still raving about how much fun they had with Get Rhythm!  Your program was the perfect “kick-off” and orientation for our year long class.

Thanks you so much for the terrific workshop on Saturday! What a fun and wonderful learning opportunity you provided to each of the participants.
