Having met John a number of years ago and been at two of his boot-camps, I have reconnected with him via a new course around Virtual Leadership (of course – if anyone was going to pioneer thinking around this it would be John Bates, right?!). Hearing his new thinking for the current times made me realise how much of what he taught us and inspired us to do has become internalised – almost subconsciously – to my way of working, communicating, and interacting in a team. John struck a massive chord with me back then and continues to do so today – thank you John for making me the mindful communicator and business leader that I hope I am now!

I had the pleasure of attending the session conducted by CISCO Challenge for our video pitch presentation to prepare for the finals. John is one of the best person who can inspire you to bring the best out of your presentations and really motivate you to bring the best. I have gone through all his work as part of the CISCO Global Problem Solver Challenge previous team’s with comments on how to improve and why the videos were best. He has a very attention to details and sense of excellence in bringing the best out of you and I highly recommend anyone to get in touch with him if you are looking for coach on public speaking, consulting for your business, presentations and so on. He is the best. It was his inspiration, strong motivation that helped us make our own best video pitch for finals and helped us to win the finals of CISCO Global Problem Solver Challenge 2021 for the Pandemic Response Prize $ 50,000 USD. I recommend and endorse John Bates for the great work and wisdom he provides to help us win and succeed. Thank you John.

John was a great help in honing my messaging, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve the effectiveness of their communication. His logical and straightforward approach especially lends itself to folks in the technology and science fields who aren’t always well served by other approaches out there.

John was an outstanding guest on my Business Success & Coffee podcast recently and shared some great tips and lessons for my listeners. He shared some exceptional stories and inspiring lessons. John explained things in an understandable way that I am sure many of the business owners listening will value and easily be able to take action upon.

Thanks for being my guest and for sharing your knowledge and insights with me and my listeners.

I would strongly encourage everyone to connect with John on LinkedIn and other platforms and check out the other items of value that he offers.

John taught a 3 day executive speaking course at my company that was extremely beneficial! He is extremely knowledgeable in how to connect with audiences and he has a relaxed approach that can be tailored to any group’s need. Although it was executive speaking, the class was also part sociology and part physiology. Amazing stuff! John is great and I’ve already given multiple presentations and talks using his tips!

“It was a tremendous pleasure to work with John Bates on my TED Talk. I went back in time to my upbringing in Sweden and the troubled relationship I had with my father. The segment we did ‘On Healing and Forgiveness’ was a very special experience for me. With John’s help I also seem to have touched others. The Youtube version, where I show a more vulnerable side of myself than in my films has had over a million views and counting. The other week an LAPD officer came up to me, shook my hand and said: “I like your movies, but I loved your TED Talk more.” There was a soft glint in his eye that revealed an upbringing not very different than my own. I learned so much from John and anytime I face a challenging speaking situation I certainly know whom to call.”

That knowledge from John has completely changed how I present today…and we got great feedback after the talk. So, it’s working!

He not only brings out the best in you when you talk, but he looks inside your soul when he does it. And he helps you see things you don’t want to see, you can’t see, but it’s things you need to see to make you the best that you can be. Watch more

….you have really tapped into the neuroscience and the neurobiology of who we are and how we communicate and how people persuade people and so forth and I was very impressed. I’m sitting here thinking, ‘I need to take that guy’s workshop, and have you as a consultant.’ So, I’d take time to work with him, to check out his work. He’s quite an amazing guy and he can help you be more amazing too.

…and afterwards, my wife and daughter said, ‘You should meet with him every week, because you’re obviously learning great things.
