�John Dubois has my highest recommendation as a consultant. I have worked with John on a number of exciting Projects over the last few years.

He directly contributed to the development of new Shipyard processes, as well as in the improvement of various Submarine Team One efforts. As a client, I could count on him not to sugar-coat or weasel word his feedback, but to make it effective and dead-on. We received great value for the work that we retained him for.� July 20, 2010

hired John as a Business Consultant in 2009

�John is a premier organizational excellence consultant. I have worked with a lot of folks with the titles and the supposed credentials, but I have found John to have a depth of knowledge that is complimented with a knack for systems perspective. We have similar strengths but different styles, so I really value his knack for making templates and simulations that help groups to quickly reach the learning and innovation objectives of the meetings that we have co-facilitated and led. I have a very critical event once a year that I host for a national client for a $2B business, and I have John as my right hand man for that event.� February 1, 2010

�Ordinarily it is enough to say that someone was trained by a Toyota Sensei. In John�s case that does not tell the whole story. Over the passed 15+ years he has been able build upon that training to become one of the most effective communicators I have ever worked with. His command of the lean tools and techniques aside, he has a unique ability to instantly create rapport with all levels of an organization. Whether he is delivering a Kaizen event or training an introductory class you can be assured that the entire audience, from the janitor to the CEO, will walk away with a thorough appreciation and understanding of the material. He understands that there is not a one size fits all approach to motivating people and he always goes the extra mile to guarantee success.� March 5, 2009
