Recommendations by my Salesforce colleagues.
I was impacted by the tech sector layoffs in Feb 2023. There is actually an upside to getting laid-off. You have so many wonderful and generous colleagues willing to write recommendations. Here’s a list of short summarized versions. The full recommendations can be found on my LinkedIn profile (www.linkedin.com/in/gagain).

His ability to listen with curiosity and ask probing questions, enabled insights I would have not found on my own.

John truly looks at the human element of leading change and encourages investment in understanding one’s self and those to which change is occurring so that the change can be as successful as possible.
I’m indebted to him for bringing the Kotter Change Leader Intensive to Salesforce.
Dan Sheehan — Engagement Director (Leads projects with U.S. Veterans Affairs)
