Client reviews

  • Dr. Izzo’s message about purpose and values driven organizations was a perfect note to get our meeting started. Dr. Izzo took the time to understand our organization and to visit with us ahead of the event to ensure he understood the needs of the group and our unique history and structure. One of the key themes from his speech “if the customer wants it, and you can possibly do it, you should consider it”, this became a reference point throughout the rest of our meetings and has subsequently come up in some of our work as we consider how to continue our customer focus.

  • You did an excellent job, Thank you for your inspiring and thought provoking program we are already planning next year and our attendees want you back!

  • Thank you for your insight and wisdom John, your program was so inspiring and motivating. Our work with you is far from over.
