Accelerating Our Success

Working with John and other accountants in the group has really empowered not just myself as a leader, but our entire business. The value is not only from the accountability that the group brings but from the insights and different viewpoints of my peers. Someone has usually walked the path or is walking the path. Sharing battle stories and content has accelerated our success.

See a Profitable Return

One of the biggest questions when selecting a coaching programme is: will I get a return on my investment? With John Schol this should never be a concern. There is no substitute for relevant and recent experience from someone who is walking in your world. That experience is even more powerful when it comes from someone so passionate. John has my strongest recommendation.
