John Bates is an absolute genius at helping transform our valuable life stories from irrelevant to irresistible!I have seen John in real time work with three different amazing individuals whose stories were just not being communicated in a way that anybody wanted to hear. In one hour all three were transformed from dull to dynamic!He's done the same with my story. I could hardly believe that. The story that I had gone over so many times, looking for ways to convey interest and relevance, turned into a cliffhanger even I wanted to know more about when John played his version back to me! I highly recommend John for anyone who wants to communicate their story in a dynamic, relevant way that will be heard by their audience.

John was friendly and made everything easy to understand.I learned how to connect with my audience and tailor my message. The hands-on practice really helped me improve my speaking skills. I also appreciated the feedback from both the instructor and other participants.Overall, I feel much more confident speaking in front of others.

I've had the pleasure to attend John's sessions. They truly are memorable, encouraging and helpful, but more importantly backed up with real facts as well as the science and reasons behind it. John is a caring, passionate and sincere individual who communicates very effectively and I would encourage anyone to attend or host John any chance they get!
