" A survey of attendees showed that John Sweeney was consistently one of the top things that people enjoyed, if not the highest. When people filled in their own info on the survey, many loved the concept of creative safety and
appreciated the concept of creating a safe environment in which ideas can be shared. I loved the interactive nature of your presentation and I was pleasantly surprised with the level of participation. A few people volunteered that surprised me in the fact that they took the risk to get up in front of their peers. This is a very positive phenomenon associated with your training."

-Debra Kiehold, Director of Human Resources
