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!
