[The presentation] was very direct, organised and easy to understand. The guys got a lot from Shack. He had a great insight into some of the basics of life.—Crane Distribution NZ Ltd
John was very inspirational and absorbing. Very impressed with his style and content - all felt inspired and motivated afterwards.—Pfizer Animal Health
John is very approachable, unflappable and calm. He is great to deal with and made great conversation before the event started so that he gained a clearer pictureof who his audience were. John's message was also very well received, polished, informative and motivational. He kept the audiences attention and the hour seemed to fly by very fast. Compared to other speakers we've had, an hour would be too long and they get fidgety.—Harcourts Group
Favourite quotes
My passion is showing people that self limitation is what holds us back. Sport psychology teaches us about self belief and how important it is to achieving peak performance. All we need to do is to apply the techniques that sports people use to our business and personal life. Applying these techniques means that we can achieve so much more.
