John Parker Stewart is exceptional in his knowledge of “modern management principles” and delivering it so our managers understand how to apply it in the real world. Our managers attend his seminars for one week and return to the workforce with the latest leadership skills and are a magnitude better.

John Parker Stewart was invaluable in providing me a “toolbox” of ideas to solve difficult management problems for a large technically based company. These ideas were adaptable to the trenches as well as the executive boardroom. A 4.0 instructor, mentor and teacher.

Senior Executive
Dept of Energy’s Hanford Nuclear Site

Our senior executive team had lost its focus. In just one two- day session, John brought us back on track—far surpassing where we had hoped to be. He is a master at teaming. Many of our managers representing our 46 field offices across the US, and our DC headquarters were reluctant to support our new transformational initiatives, but John’s masterful 90 minute presentation on “Change Leadership” provided the critical framework that we needed for us to be confident and successful! His facilitating our afternoon discussion was superb! I wish he could have spent more time with us!

Highly professional, excellent technical background information. Incredible charisma and presenter capturing attention of his audience. Intellectually stimulating and genuinely facilitates behavior change. His audience leaves upbeat, excited, wanting to change.

Pat Hughes

Nestle-Carnation

John has touched over 800 managers that report to me. His four-day seminars conducted for 350+ engineering managers amazed me. Having gone through a series of restructuring and downsizing, which sapped personal value and general morale, John was able to provide a renewed sense of purpose and appreciation for each manager and an appreciation of their importance to Pacific Bell. It was the most relevant seminar or training they had ever received in their careers! John’s blend of style, content knowledge and credibility has a permanent stamp
of stimulation.
Chuck Hensley

Insightful, unique, humorous, stimulating, valuable, and timely. His theme of coping with change is exactly what we need. Our employees can’t get enough of him. He is insightful, unique, and humorous.
EH Sherman

John does his homework. He knows his customer. His ratings are 20% higher than our previous speakers and trainers. The enthusiasm and energy John demonstrates in working with us on a very short deadline to devise, implement and analyze was critical to the success of the conference and indicative of the way John works with all his clients. The most common comments dealt with John’s knowledge of our institution, its people and communication processes. He did his homework. A job well done.

Jerry Bitter
Director
National Institute of Internal Auditors

Our company had the foresight to select the very best to make a difference in a very chaotic environment. We had just merged five small companies for efficiency and cost savings. Four months later, our parent company merged with another Fortune 500 company. With these cultures and a growing number of cynics, we tasked John to instill a set of values to ensure cohesiveness and excellence among our 450 management members over a period of
three years.

Our participants profess, “It’s the best week they have ever spent,” “John Parker Stewart is tremendous. I could listen to him days on end. His materials were excellent.” “ John Parker Stewart is an exceptional presenter. Very motivational and a wonderful asset.” “Exceptional instructor. Very well prepared and organized.” “The best class I have ever attended.” John has also made a profound difference in many organizations throughout the laboratory in his consulting, coaching, and speaking for the Department of Energy and at our community events. He’s a living icon in our Corporation.

Managing business . . . Stewart Style . . . the best bet in interactive manager education.There is POWER in his presentations. The: POWER to influence action, POWER to refocus on company growth and personal performance, POWER to create new personal energy, POWER to make managers believe in the possible, POWER to lead managers to workable solutions.
George E. “Jud” Ellis
Major General United States Air Force (Retired)
COO, Waste Management

John has the unique ability to present his knowledge of management and leadership to audiences of mixed background & expertise. Because he avoids the use of jargon and unnecessary terms, which confuse rather than compel, he begins his sessions by capturing everyone’s attention either through his dynamic style or the logic of what he has to say. The next thing you know, it’s lunchtime . . . yet you’re perfectly willing to stay seated and hear just a little bit more. You’re hooked! Even the most stalwart resisters “come around” to John, and doubters confess that they have learned something that will enhance both their professional and personal lives. However, the real reason John excels is due to the sincere attention he gives to each and every one of the individuals in his sessions. From afar, one might wonder where he gets all his energy. When you get close, you know. He loves his work; and it shows in the way he listens and learns from those who think they’re the only ones getting the education.

As President of the LM Space Operations Company and former Director of the NASA John F. Kennedy Space Center, I have directly benefited from the talent and energy of John Parker Stewart. At KSC, John taught us how to manage the complex, high-risk space shuttle launch preparation process, and to do so at almost half the cost. John continues to advise me today as I transition from government to industry. If you need a team, John can build it. If you have a team, John can take it to the top.

and clear.

No person other than the Chairman and the company presidents has had a greater exposure to and impact on the executives and managers of Lockheed than John. He has literally become a Lockheed institution and hundreds of our managers treasure their personal relationship with John Parker Stewart. He is far more than a trainer in the sense of transferring skills and knowledge. He motivates people; He excites people; He challenges people to be and do their best. He doesn’t preach; He doesn’t pressure; He doesn’t pontificate. John sets an example in both business and personal life which people are moved to emulate. John is a remarkable talent and we hope to be associated with him for many years to come.
