John spoke to our members about productive communication. He is such an enthusiastic trainer; he kept the audience engaged learning about how to talk and work with their employees. The feedback we received was outstanding, many were eager to get back and use these tools and bring John in to provide this program for their team.

“I’ve had the pleasure of attending several of John’s trainings over the past 10 years. John is a consummate professional who delivers dynamic trainings that positively impact attendees. He is motivating and impactful, and he leaves his audiences with skills and techniques they can instantly apply to their work and personal lives. His facilitation style is inclusive and welcoming, so attendees feel comfortable participating and asking questions. I highly recommend John and Shermetaro Speaking for your next professional development training.

John was absolutely fantastic! This is my first time taking this class but it really opened my horizons and most importantly it was not awkward. Typically, this type of training has participants feel slightly uncomfortable and not willing to participate, but this was completely opposite. Great class!
Productive Communication
The presenter took a subject that would not always hold my attention, and made it enjoyable. He was fun, energetic and charismatic. Make me really think about how I interact with not only customers, but also coworkers.
Analysts
I took this class in a previous supervising training but the material was fresh and the conversation was not repetitive. The group activities were a fun exercise.
Analyst Academy
This was maybe the best training regarding team communication that I have ever had this is very relevant, easily understandable and can practically be employed back in our daily jobs. I would highly recommend its continuation in the leadership program.
Productive Communication
John was clear, concise, and very engaging. It is clear he is knowledgeable on the topic and offered wonderful exercises to prove his points, as well as help students deal with the fear of public speaking.
Presentation Skills
This presentation was very engaging. I’m usually shy and don’t like speaking up, but this made me want to participate.
Analyst
Even though I really don’t like public speaking, it is good to have a class to learn new techniques and tips. I appreciated the instructor’s encouragement, especially with individuals like me who don’t like the topic.
Presentation Skills
We were so thankful to have John come and facilitate the productive communication workshop with our team. He was engaging, thoughtful, and thorough in his explanations. We feel like we were able to better understand how each of us communicates differently and how we can better work together to make our company stronger and more efficient!
John was really knowledgeable and pushes us out of our comfort zones. I enjoyed the time limits on the speeches, not too long. I hate public speaking with a passion, and am more of a quiet/shy person, so doing these exercises really made me push myself, and I thank John, Kyle and everyone else involved in deciding the curriculum for making me a little more confident with public speaking.
Shermetaro brings a positive attitude and a fun environment to a class that generally intimidates most. He is a calming presence who does a good job relating to the audience and explaining. Promote ahead of peers. Made me less nervous for future public speaking in regard to debunking myths and fears I’ve adapted from previous teachings.
Mr. Shermataro was an excellent instructor & I gained a lot of useful insight into being a better instructor & expert witness. He brought up valid points of discussion, offered constructive criticism to each class attendee, answered questions & gave encouragement. He is definitely great at what he does!
Great job including the practical exercise of the course, because instead of just teaching tips for public speaking that would be forgotten about. The practical exercise of talking to a wall forced me to overcome the “silly” feeling, and actually put the points recently learned into action. Course made you face your discomfort & improved, or know how to better yourself. Great class!
You made it less intimidating and we are an anxious bunch.
John was knowledgeable and presented information in a way that I never would have even thought of taking into consideration.
John is an excellent presenter and instructor. This was one of the most valuable presentations and trainings regarding good communication and how to use communication to be a better leader than I have attended. John is a very talented presenter. His ideas and philosophy is spot on!!
First off I would like to thank you for taking the time to speak in front of us at the BRE 2024 event. It was the best presentation of the week , I would love to share some of the highlights with my team.
