They're your two greatest assets as a leader...

Your ultimate unfair advantage.

Hi. I'm
  John.

For 15 years I was a Broadway producer.

I've won 2 Tony Awards and been nominated for 5.

For each production, I had to get 100s of brilliant, powerful, and utterly insane artists, stars, investors, lawyers, technicians, and professionals to all pull in the same direction for years to get to opening night.

Now I use what I learned about colleague whispering in the entertainment industry to help leaders in other industries handle the strong personalities they encounter (including their own).  

Read my story

Parts Work opens up more than
creativity and leadership skills.
It opens up your entire life.

It's simple, but it's not easy.
I can show you how,
and I can
help you as you do it.

3 ways I can help you:

Speaking.

With 25 years of showbiz experience, I can appear onstage or onscreen for you and your team to inspire, motivate, empower, and (yes) entertain.

Coaching.

Work with me 1 on 1 to step fully into your role as leader and finally move past the blocks that prevent you from doing what you know you need to do.

Courses.

In self-paced and cohort experiences, you'll mov past knowledge (which is easy) to insight (which isn't) to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

Don't settle for success when you can thrive.

Over the years I have invited John to speak in my classes dozens of times, for good reason. He is articulate; he's funny; he's inspirational. He's honest, and he's a visionary.

My students are always stunned by his authenticity, amazed by his genius, and moved by his humanity. No matter what I'm teaching, John has something profound, revelatory, and uplifting to bring to our journey. I give him my highest possible recommendation.

Courses

I've been a teacher my entire career.

From mentoring world class artists to training corporate professionals, I've facilitated countless transformations for ambitious achievers who know where they want to go and are willing to put in the work to get there.

Learners who work with me unlock more than their competitive edge; they discover their capacity for living a more fulfilling life.

Creative recovery is just the beginning.

Speaking

Your event needs a speaker to be both inspirational and entertaining, able to captivate a crowd with a compelling message while contributing to the message you want your attendees to walk away with.

My 20 years in showbusiness, combined with my decade of speaking at numerous conferences, seminars, and universities, have taught me how to play the room, tailoring a message not just to the audience but also to the objectives of the event.

Whether in person or virtually, around a workshop table or in a massive auditorium, I provide not only a fresh perspective but also actionable tools so your attendees with more than a new worldview... they leave with a new gameplan.

Prominent engagements include

  • On Deck Learning Conference 2021
  • Commercial Theatre Institute
  • Florida Alliance of Arts Educators Summit
