Dr. John Izzo’s presentation was stimulating, thought provoking and entertaining all at the same time. We were truly amazed how Dr. Izzo was able to incorporate our company’s values and core beliefs into his presentation. We felt like he had been a 20 year member of the team. Very well done, Sir!
– DR. CHAD OVERMAN, DIRECTOR, PROFESSIONAL RELATIONS, WALMART
We worked with John at our 2011 National Owner/Operator conference. Our Owner/Operator’s were inspired and left with the desire to put into action many of John’s ideas. John’s ability to share his knowledge through story telling left us all wanting more. Over the years, we have heard many speakers and John is by far one of the most impactful we have seen. His messages hit the mark perfectly. The session was described by all as an ‘out of the park home run.
– MICHELE BOUDRIA, NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF TRAINING, LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT, MCDONALDS
Izzo knocked it out of the park. In a series of some of the best speakers around, he had the highest accolades. His message of 100% responsibility resonated with every level.
– Astra Zeneca
Within 20 minutes, Dr. John Izzo had our executive team engaged and riveted, so much so that we didn’t see anyone checking their phones or iPads. John masterfully talked with (not at!) our group in ways that built buy in and cohesion. To say that our team was transformed in how they interact and move forward into our future is not an exaggeration.
– Franciscan Health Systems
