“Recently I was asked to be on a panel discussion at an Institute of Management Consultants meeting and John Wheeler was the moderator. John opened the 50-person meeting with some great contextual content to get our brains thinking. The panel itself flowed nicely because of 1) John's planning and coaching of the panelists, 2) John's management of the flow of the panel and 3) the great questions he interjected. John rounded out the meeting with some break-out questions for each table to discuss. The feedback from the audience after the panel discussion was great! The discussion had all the attendees thinking and talking. John did a phenomenal job pulling together the panel and making the 90 minute panel interesting and very informative. I would recommend that John lead all the panel discussions at IMCNE! Rudy”

John created and facilitated a strategic planning focus group for my company.
