"I've enjoyed working with John on several occasions. He provided training sessions for my hospital case management staff as well as for the annual state case management conference. In both situations, we received great remarks from those in attendance. Due to the overwhelming positive feedback at our annual conference, he was invited back as the keynote speaker.
